The build says phantom dancer instead of malady.
Was this just a mistake?

Pretty similar build
to the top rating one

Updated item build for the change in Malady. I now suggest Sword of the Divine, but I'm still trying out different items. The build description will be updated soon to list in depth my possible suggestions to replace Malady.

Update:

Added color to the guide. I also updated a lot of the sections, especially the spell section. Sometime soon I'll hopefully be adding pictures of items in the like. We'll see when I have time. =]

Update:

Swapped dodge seals for attack speed seals. You really don't need much dodge with this build since you are mostly an offensive weapon.

Swapped cooldown glyphs so that they increase per level instead of set amount. Just a mistake in the original build.

Actually, whenever I win a game I post a link to this guide so the people I played with and against can check it out. I'm sure not all of these posters are from that, but that may be why there are a lot of first time posters.

it's a bit weird that a lot of your comments are from new accounts with one comment. Odd.

Good Guide

I could see your point kraz drack and that may be an item swap you want to make. I personally think the cheap attack speed and lifesteal of malady is crucial during midgame to ensure success. You get a little bit more damage going the Bilgewater route, but I think the 50% improved attackspeed means even more DPS output. The stack effect of malady definitely never hurts, but its the cost and stat bonuses that make me pick malady here. Late game, when enemies have a lot of health and/or armor, you actually get your 6 hits in more often than you think, especially with that extra attack speed.

Love this poppy build... Poppy is my favorite and I've been using it ever since she came out. Been using this build for about a week, and def my favorite of all the ones I've tried!

The thing with the weapons that have on hit effects that stack is that they are much more useful for champs that have fast attacks. Poppy's goal is to get in, get the kill, and get out. I don't know if Malady is a great choice. Perhaps Bilgewater is a better choic. You'll still get your lifesteal and extra damage. On use items are somewhat annoying but it's a good way to finish off an opponent you aren't able to kill. If the game goes long enough you can build it into a Hextech which is better than Malady for Poppy.

If you have a suggestion for an item that is better than malady, I'd love to hear your thoughts. However, I don't think malady makes the build invalid in any way.
