Rushing Wota is bad because of it's new cost and no benefit to AP.

However, Boots1 > Revolver > Ionian's/sorcs > Deathcap Is usually what I get. After that, Will, Rylai's, Zhonya's, Void Staff/Abyssal Scepter

Why? Because even with low AP ratios Vlad needs to get deathcap as a main source of damage. Getting a Rylai's and Wota simply makes it feel as if I do almost no damage mid game and am more of a Utility character. I understand that Rylai's is extremely synergetic with his passive and with his skills, however the damage from deathcap really does make a difference in my opinion.

If you are really far ahead you can get Rylai's before Deathcap, but I prefer to assume that it will be an even match.
