I tried her on the PBE now. Congratulations, YPN, you finally have your EEEEE-champ. :D

You don't have to get RoA at all. I can still play her the way I'm used to (at least vs bots), however, her early is a lot weaker and more E dependent if you want to avoid going out of mana too quickly.

So in terms of early mana sustain you have to actually skill E - you don't have to on LIVE.

On the other hand, passive stacks accumulate easily: by poisoning champions or farming with poison (and last hit with E). Once you reach those 375 stacks (either if you farm like nasus or if you poison in teafights without getting focussed), you may end up with 1100 AP and a 120 heal on E (passive only) with another 140 if you get WotA.
