I always did both. Roa and bv. More mana and more health. Boots (sorcs or mercs) archangels, FH, BV, RoA, WoTA. ****load of tankyness, ****load of mana. Tons of damage.

There's no reason to build him damage over tanky when you can have both.
Someone did the math on him pre-nerf and post-nerf
With the exact same build post-nerf, he does about the same amount of damage, if not more. And you're still tanky.




Nope...
I pretty sure someone did numbers if you build abyssal-scepter over BV u get more dmg overall since mana ratios were dropped alot and ap buffed.
Other wise would a 2240 elo player post that guide if its less dmg than going tanky ryze.
I go somethin like
Boots
Tear of the Goddess
Sorcerer's Shoes or
Mercury's Treads
Rod of Ages
Frozen Heart
Hextech Revolver
Abyssal Mask
Upgrade to
Archangel's Staff and
Will of the Ancients
And I'm always right about everything so that's settled.

Umm wondering is Abyssal Scepter really that great? Worth it over BV?
Ryze has quite low hp pool.
Hence the Rod of Ages.
I feel like BV isn't really a great item and I rarely build it on anything anymore. Pretty sure Abyssal gives you quite a bit more damage and almost as much defence, plus it works well if you're running more than one AP. I'm likin' it a lot lately.

I've been saying this from literally the DAY that they reworked him.
RoA / Abyssal / FH / AAS / whatever you want. Could be Rylai's / Rabadon's / WotA / etc.

This discussion makes me want to play Ryze again. I think I played him once since his rework and the game was too short for me to get anywhere in my build.
Sorcs/Abyssal seems like a nice combo after RoA. I'll have to give that a try next time I go mid.

Thanks to Minho for the sig!
His mana ratio was downed 1% on q, and suddenly given a mana ratio on E. So no, his mana ratios are only nerfed if you hit less than 2 hits on E I think. BUT ap ratios were upped so now RoA is core with FH and tear. And the upgrade on tear is now required. I haven't tried abyssal over BV since it gives neither mana nor health. I will try it. If you go mercs then Abyssal should be prio for mpen.
