Champion Reveal: Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger

[quote=MungoGeri][quote=mastrer1000]Since his passive procs spell effects, does this mean that he could proc lich bane constantly without wasting cooldowns?[/quote] I think the key idea would be that you can build a [[rylai's crystal scepter]] and keep an almost constant slow zone around him. Then, you can build a [[liandry's torment]] for lots of extra damage within that zone.[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]If his passive counts as a spell, you could get use for lich bane out of it. Not incredible use, but it would still work.[/quote]

[quote=MungoGeri][quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]If his passive counts as a spell, you could get use for lich bane out of it. Not incredible use, but it would still work.[/quote] I messed around with him last night on the PBE. I can confirm the stars from his passive (or the pushed out stars from his W) do not trigger [[lich bane]] or other sheen procs. It's only active spell casts that do. I'm trying to figure out the ideal build for him. At first, it seems like the natural build would be [[rod of ages]] [[sorcerer's shoes - alacrity]] [[rylai's crystal scepter]] [[liandry's torment]] [[void staff]] [[rabadon's deathcap]]. However, I'm having a Dickens of a time trying to get cooldown reduction on him. Maybe cooldown reduction isn't so important on him? His Q stun is pretty nice, though, so I'd think you'd want cooldown reduction for that. Also, it'd be nice to have more movement speed than these items provide. So, I'm not sure the above build is the way to go.[/quote]

[quote=MungoGeri][quote=Janitsu]10% cdr per level glyphs [[ionian boots of lucidity]] ditch [[liandry's torment]] and get [[morellonomicon]][/quote] I don't know. [[morellonomicon]]'s mana regeneration is redundant with the straight mana gain from [[rod of ages]]. If I were to go with a mana regen item, I'd rather replace the [[rod of ages]] with it rather than the [[liandry's torment]], which will deal significantly more damage and still give you 300 health.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]you want RoA for the HP and the bigger mana pool so you can keep W on longer, and no mana regen doesnt make mana redundant[/quote]

[quote=Ekki]CDR is a wasted stat on Aurelion. His W doesn't get affected by it and his E doesn't add damage, so unless you plan on doing a lot of E+Q+insec R combos I wouldn't care about it. So [[morellonomicon]] and [[athene's unholy grail]] are suboptimal on him and [[rod of ages]] is doubly useful since he needs the HP as a short/middle range mage and uses the flat mana instead of the mana regen. I recommend [[rod of ages]], [[rylai's crystal scepter]], [[sorcerer's shoes]], [[abyssal scepter]], [[zhonya's hourglass]] and [[void staff]] as a generic all around build, with some order variations depending on the game.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]You could also build [[seraph's embrace]] on him since he stacks it really well.[/quote]

[quote=MungoGeri][quote=DillButt64]you want RoA for the HP and the bigger mana pool so you can keep W on longer, and no mana regen doesnt make mana redundant[/quote] Of course they're redundant. The key question is do you have enough mana to do what you want in between trips back to base for other reasons. Both straight mana and mana regen helps with this goal. In this case, between [[rod of ages]] and one's base mana regen, you will have more than enough mana to do what you need to do. Adding more regen on top of that would be a waste of stats and power budget. Regarding Aurelian Sol's W, it only costs 40 mana plus 14 mana/sec, so in a ten second fight (which is a long fight), it'll cost only 180 mana all told. It's not going to be straining your mana pool.[/quote]
