Good thing that you mentioned Archangel staff, Rod od Ages and Rylai's crystal scepter.

Afor staff, I don't build it because I need a lot (alot is iregular) of time to max its power over the course of time. Even with Karthus, beleive me, I tried and simply most of the time I have to keep casting. And for what. It gives me 128 ability power when fully chared (note that I calculated this with my build instead of rod of ages). Rod Of Ages on the other hand give lees, but sufficient mana for playing, then it give precious health that Karthus simply needs. Killing an ap carry that has 2000 health is no sweat, on the other hand if that carry has 3000, he can survive for longer. So sacrificing less than 800 mana and 48 ability power for increased health and regeneration upon reaching higher leve, I think its a fair trade off.

And this is why I build rod of ages and rylai. The both give health, around 1000 I think, then they give 160 ability power which is very good, then rod gives mana and that nice regen effect, rylai gives slow to your spells. I don't see any problem using both in the same build.

@anonymus dumbass that commented on my post

First of all, I never said anything bad to you, then you call me dumbass without any reason. Next thing, everybody has its oppinion, if you dont like it, don't comment on it.

@anonymus who answered on cooldown redction.

Oh boy, you really must try cooldown reduction on Karthus. Your q has 0.6 seconds cooldown istead of 1 second. That means you can land almost 2 attacks instead of 1. It is super-duper cool. I discovered that thing unintentionally. Since I chased lower cooldown on my ultimate. And when I achieved lower cooldown I noticed increased spammability of q. And with lower cooldown I can cast my wall of pain more frequently.
