Farming

If you play correctly, then you have 4-6 kills before the teamfights.
But you will be week if you dont farm. So don't harass your opponent every day, (it's important I know, but) focus on last hitting minions with your and and your auto-attacks.
DON'T USE YOUR to farm. You'll need it to escape from ganks.

Sanguine Pool

allows you to become an untargettable ******* for two seconds, slows enemy units by 40% for 1 second, and also gives you a 10~25% Speed Boost for .5seconds. The spell deals damage based of 15% of your Bonus Health. With this build, you can do around ~~700 damage with your Sanguine Pool, and Spell Vamp around 400 of that back.

When to pool:
You have 183 HP, and you see an heading straight towards your ***.
When a wild / appear! And they decide to be douchebags and jump over walls...

When NOT to pool:
To farm a minion wave when your opponent is currently in lane.
To harass.
If the spell that you will come in contact with you will do less than 20%. Know your math.

A well timed Sanguine Pool can deflect/dodge the following skills:
