There are way too many items that are godly on him. But i'd say that outside of RoA and Zhonya's plus your mana regen item (I love me some Athene's) none of them are "core". That makes him quite flexible. For example, you can get M. Pen. and M. Res. on Abyssal if you want more damage and a bit more resistances, or you can get the new Spirit Visage if you just want to heal way too fast and be tankier.

I do agree that I usually end up wishing I had an extra item slot. Or five xD
