you're honestly better off with titanic hydra than sunfire cape because of how you have to position yourself in fights, and because of your attack patterns you're not going to hit often, so might as well make it be hard. I'm not entirely convinced it's more effective than just building a thornmail and converting your durability into damage, and warmog's to be infuriatingly sustaining, but yeah, it's pretty good. Sterak's gage, though; cheaper, shield is strong, damage about the same, doesn't provide damage burst; instead, survival burst. you don't get the gage for damage, honestly. you don't auto often enough and the time between each cast of Q means the increase to the damage of that particular ability isn't actually that much in terms of DPS. If burst is constantly the biggest problem, though, the gage is always one of the best items. The only thing better is basically an hourglass, but don't expect anyone to take that item seriously on sion.
