Great items, great guide, great everything! I do actually play Veigar somewhat close to this, but not for a while this will definitly help!+1

Good job on the formatting :) I really like it +1 form me :)

A chalice isn't a bad shout at all. The reasons I take Tear is for Archangels and the extra 1000 mana you can get from it.

As for Deathfires, don't get me wrong, I have used it before, but I don't really need it most of the time. I won't lie, it is good against the tanks because of the 30% damage it does, but I personally find I can do more damage with the extra 100AP that mejais grants at 20 stacks. It probably equates to about the same as it is; 15% CDR, and the extra 100AP probably does the same as the 30% damage the DFG active gives assuming magic penetration is in the equation.

As I say, I won't buy it over Mejai's unless the other team is supremely tank heavy.
I should change it though. It seems as if I have a vendetta against Deathfires wording it how I have done O_o

Pretty good guide. This is actually how I used to play Veigar.

I prefer building a chalice as opposed to a tear early game. This eliminates all mana issues Veigar has because of its synergy with his passive (it also gives you ~+15% magic resist early game). Also, you could put points into the experience mastery over the mana mastery this way.

The only thing I'd completely disagree with in this build is your comment on the deathfire grasp. I really don't understand how you can say "I can't justify buying this over Mejais". The added nuke from the deathfire allows for definite kills early/mid game, it also scales well into late game. This extra nuke really proves its usefulness in team fights when you trap at least two people in your stun, both within dark matter aoe range. With deathfire grasp, I've successfully nuked down two enemy champions from full HP to zero within the event horizon stun time plenty of times. Also, deathfire grasp gives Veigar everything he needs -- AP, mana regen, and above all else, cooldown reduction. It's also cheaper than archangel's staff, an item that I will personally never build on Veigar again.

Your skill order, runes and masteries are ideal. I like that you get 2 points in stun before maxing dark matter, something that I always argue in favor for.
I'm guessing it's a mistake, but it says there is a point in the clairvoyance mastery.

Hopefully you find these comments to be useful/enlightening.

Very useful Guide but a bit hard to read due to wall of text like the other one mentioned ^^ but if you can improve on the formatting i will definitely upvote it ;)

That's the one thing I didn't want but could not avoid due to not knowing, but thanks to both of you I can change this guide to make it prettier.

I'll edit it later on as I'm having a few games now, though.
Thanks again! :D

Nice guide. There are some things I don't agree with, but everytime you've explained why you do something, so it's cool.

Good guide, but you should add pictures, (put [ [ ] ] around a name of an item without the spaces to show the pic and the name) and you should also space this out. Make more sections so it doesn't look so much like a wall of text more in the way than a well placed Event Horizon.
