I'm really curious because: Zhyonias, DFG, Rabadon seem to be a trinity of sorts for AP mids because of the massive AP they give and their incredible secondary abilities...also DFG has immense synergy with Syndra because of it's active...it's like an unofficial extra Syndra ball...xD. Also how are you in ranks? I run AP/level Glyphs, flat AP Quints, 21/0/9 masteries.

My build is as follows(in buy order):

1. Athene's Unholy Grail

2. Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Rabadon's Deathcap

4. Zhonya's Hourglass and Void Staff

6. Archangel's Staff.

This plus AP pot equals to 820 AP. As ult does 1260 (+ 1.4 AP) with 7 spheres damage before resistances is 1260 (+ 1148) = 2408 magic damage. That is extreme case, because my average ultimate takes 6 spheres. It's 1080 (+ 1.2 AP) = 2064 magic damage before resistances. Then there are those damage amplification masteries. +4.5% (+9.5% if target is below 50% HP) more damage.

And no, I don't like items with actives, DFG forces me to walk into range of every bruiser and assassin's dash in the game - that's the last thing you want as Syndra - and Seraph's gives me just as much if not more AP and that shield saved my life more times than I can count.
