I don't really know if I said this before, but I don't care about your opinion. Whatever that is, anyway. I didn't bother to read your comment.

It took some time for someone to ask this question, and I was expecting it. If you've read through that comment more carefully, you would know the answer already. Most of the page is aimed at Vlad's early game. Exceptions here are the health/18 runes, and - to some extent - Spellvamp quints. The reason for not taking flat HP runes it's just that they are not beneficial at all. His passive promotes building AP more than investing in pure Health items. Thus, the amount of health provided by those runes would be so minimal that It's practically a waste of a rune slot. You can try using these, and you will see what I mean.

Also, If spellvamp sucks so hard at early levels, why is the revolver generally one of the first items you get on Vlad? I fail to see how people actually buy runes, but can't see the delicate differences that saved their lives or boosted their farm many times already. With early spellvamp, this is such a case. As for the lategame, spellvamp is one of the best things Vlad could have. By the way, are you implying that Vlad doesn't do "tons of damage" later in the game? God, I don't even know anymore.
