Divine Blessing is really good now. The MS boost is small on paper, but decisive in practice. I may start maxing it second, ahead of Reckoning.

Most typical top lane picks can't out-push Kayle, so I've been shoving wave after wave of minions into their tower. It screws up their last-hitting, and eventually crushes the tower and leaves them wide open for ganks. It also leaves me free to leave the lane and either poach camps/buffs from the jungle, head back to base and get an item lead, or to gank mid.

Naturally, their jungler (or mid) responds by coming in for a gank, but post-patch Kayle is now as slippery as a wet bar of soap. One ward at Baron and one on tribush means that nobody but Nocturne or Shaco can approach unseen, so there is plenty of time to back off. When W isn't enough to get away, W + Ghost really puts the jets on, and lets Kayle blast away at 500+ MS.

Old W was never enough for this. The new W is nearly as good for covering distance at level 1 as the old one was at level 5. At level 2, new W wins forever. Really good outside the laning phase, too, for chases and initiations and retreats.

Also, it's pretty badass on 0 CS Kayle. I start Q + E, but max W first by level nine. Really good sustain and lane control for your carry partner. I hope that they never finish the remake, because Kayle is in a good place right now.
