I am still on the fence with building rabadons before or after grail... I usually rush chalice and then kind of wing it after that. Sometimes I just rush for the hat after chalice, for the AP... sometimes i go for grail, grail has the good extra MR and cd reduction that really feels amazing sometimes in fights.

I'm starting to lean towards just getting grail and sorc shoes first... I think it's the best mix of stats for him early. His cds are like just long enough that you normally only get one cast of his rockets/grenades in most fights, but if you max out his cdr or close, he starts being able to do 2 casts of each most of the time, so that cdr really ends up making him a lot more effective. The extra AP from deathcap on the other hand won't even come close to doubling his rocket or grenade damage, since they all get so much from their base damage, and scale low with AP.
