Yeah I really do like CDR on Vlad...I would usually build AP but if need arises...I'd get tank items too like Randuin's of course...

And HP stacking isn't as effective b/c the HP to AP conversion simply isn't very efficient. I guess it really depends on your build but generally if you go really tanky you won't be doing as much damage.

The strength of Vlad is (aside from his pool-it's usage determines how good of a Vlad player you are imo) that you can become tanky just by building damage...and as such you want to abuse that as much as possible.

So by building him hard to catch/kill, you are effectively reducing the amount of damage you deal...thus your enemies wil ignore you...b/c you're unkillable/uncatchable/don't hurt anyways.

And imo no matter what you decide to build on Vlad, you should always buy a Deathcap for the late game power.
