Rylai's on Nunu?

[quote=Trojan995]I've been playing nunu a lot recently, and I really like him. I usually build as a tanky caster, starting off with [[mercury's treads]], [[banshee's veil]], then [[zhonya's hourglass]]. With this combination I have more than enough MR, a decent amount of armor, but not quite as much health as I'd like. I was wondering if it'd be viable to get a [[rylai's crystal scepter]] to get that health I'd like - nunu's damaging spells both have slows anyways, so would the rylai's slow be useless or not worth the money? What are my alternatives (not rod of ages)?[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]a giants belt and a blasting wand. personnaly nunus only a threat if he has dmg maybe u should build RoA first? double catalyst to start is quite fun epic heal on lvl up ^^[/quote]

I perfer RoA first. You can alternatively go for a Giant's belt + Rabadon's deathcap. I dunno, seem s viable. The Giant's belt later being built into a Sunfire.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Seems like a big waste.. ROA is superior in all ways.[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]I always get Rylai's on my AP Nunu. I don't build him tanky, though. Only defense(ish) items I get are Abyssal Scepter and Zhonya's. Still, end game I have like 3.2-3.5k HP and my ult does ridiculous amount of damage. Upwards of 3k.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Most of the reason I'm so averse to the RoA is because I like to rush [[banshee's veil]] and I feel like I won't get much use out of rod of ages if I don't buy it first :/ Well, I guess I'll just get it second, and I'll get a chainmail early on if AD champions prove to be a threat.[/quote]
