Blitzcrank - Mana like a baws

[quote=Dotter]This is actually just a quick question for experienced Blitz players: Would it be viable in anyway to build both [[Manamune]] and [[Archangel's Staff]] for a sick amount of mana and some greatly improved stats? And then improve them both with [[Frozen Heart]] & [[Banshee's Veil]]. Perhaps have a [[Trinity Force]] & [[Boots of Swiftness]] as the last items. Don't know how the item order should be though. Would it in any way be worth it? And can anyone do some maths on the stats it would provide to have those items? xD[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]no. manamune and archangels don't stack. what i build is tear manamune catalyst roa (boots 1 and then swiftness boots somewhere in there.) then a sheen frozen heart or banshees veil (depending on enemy team) then the other one then finish tf very nice off tank build. 4k mana and health or so (been a while), with decent armor and mr score. along with some nice damage output.[/quote]

[quote=Dotter]Oh, well then it wont work. I've just wondered for a while if they actually did stack and if it would work with anyone and then I thought of Blitz. But thanks for the fast feedback ^^[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i just happen to be on... hang on, did you mean stack as in the mana stack or stack as in the conversion to ad and ap?[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]They do stack regarding AD and AP versions but you won't get a bonus 2000 mana from their "accumulation" effects. Same goes for Tear. It's a fine idea but you'd just be lacking DPS. Hybrid is so meh... Much better off rushing your Philo into Sheen/Triforce unless you REALLY WANT MANAMUNE in which case go ahead.[/quote]

[quote=Dotter]Well I've never really played Blitz, so it was just a thought, don't really know much about him. And rushing Sheen/Triforce is also the most comming thing I see on Blitz..[/quote]

[/quote] As mentioned before, I wouldn't advise going hybrid (not to mention that the 1k mana passive won't stack from the AA Staff and the Manamune). I usually rush the tear for obvious reasons (start stacking mana for bigger shield). After that I usually go for sheen...[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Blitzcrank makes a better Mana-Bruiser then Ryze does imo. Build tons of mana items, kill people, run away as soon as Mana Barrier activates to 100% secure safety.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]which is why i like my build. his cooldowns are just too much to really focus on an ap build, the roa is just for the mana and health.[/quote]

[/quote] I don't think that the CDs are that high to build AP. With CDR the CDs get quite nice and the AP ratio is nice as well[/quote]
