Who else does this other than me? I really don't see the point in getting the Sheen before the Blasting Wand DEPENDING ON YOUR CHARACTER. If you're a straight up burst damage mage player, I don't see the point in getting the Blasting Wand before Sheen because you'll probably be dishing out more damage with Sheen before Blasting but on support characters, I think it's a lot more vital to get a Blasting Wand before Sheen (more AP = bigger heals/supporty ****). Just what I do myself, anyone else?

I think that's not really important is it? Sheen gives you addtional Mana and just 15AP less than Blasting Wand. There is no big difference.

Ya, if you play a non-attacking-just-casting-or-healing-char-with-no-mana-issues, i would buy Blasting Wand too :P

It is hero dependant, but i think for the most heroes Sheen would be better first
sup bro.

I usually buy the Sheen first only because it is the more expensive item out of the Lich Bane recipe, the 100% attack buff is a nice too for harassing until you can finish lich

i never build into lichbane, i don't know why it just seems like a pretty bad item for the champions i play. when i do get sheen its to build into trinity force, and so far i only get that on 2 different champions,

urgot, for his need of mana and the spam spell

my dps nasus, seeing as how its works great with siphoning strike.

Well... probably since those aren't AP-based champs :P

I get Sheen first as an AP Twisted Fate, and would in many cases, esp my Nasus build (of course)

Reason for this is that I find it much more useful to get the "burstiness" of sheen much earlier, because it catches people off guard before they have usually gotten into their Magic resist part of their build.

I usually leave it as Sheen for a while too and build a soulstealer if the game is going well or rod of ages if it isn't. I usually don't upgrade until after I get my Zhonya's ring, because if your doing that much damage you need something to save you from getting focused.
