Agreed, it's fun to the max. I tried a full tank build, and i enjoyed smacking some sense into my opponents. They were "stumped" by the fact that they couldn't kill me.

My build: Starting with Doran's ring. I do this for both this, and the offtank support build. It gives life, it gives mana regen, it gives ap. My reasoning lies behind the fact that i use mana regen per level blues and yellows, and meditation on top, so i start with 17 mana regen. It allows me to CONSTANTLY spider mine the fuck out of the enemy. Yes. i keep spamming it till level 5, constantly ruining farming. I really need to last hit with it more, tho'.

Alright, let's get to the main items. I rush banshee's veil, because it gives me catalyst, an item i'm growing to love, as a component. Overall, it gives you magic resist to compensate for your low resistance, mana to maintain your skill usage, and health to benefit your passive. I get sunfire, which is another great item for extra dps/farm, armor and health. after, I get FoN and Frozen heart, two other items that i love. The last item i'm still thinking, but it's situational depending on who you lane against.
