I prefer to rely on posotioning more then count on defencive items, i thihk they are not worth the slot. Max cdr=more sustained damage, better poke and ult whenever you please. Plus u need high ap late to wreck teams with ease, as velkoz has very high ap ratios(nobody considers thevfact that w has 2 charges, leading his full combo to a whooping 3.0 ap ratio).
