Agreed. I cry whenever I see someone rush this item. For the upgrade cost of 980 gold, which grants 35 AP and the passive, you could have got a Blasting Wand, which gives 40 AP, for 860 gold instead.

Any burst caster who rushes this item is a complete moron, and is wasteing gold, since if their burst fails to kill the target, they'll have escaped with such little HP that the ticks of this item would be irrelevant. Not to mention the passive cannot kill due to being based on current HP, and if you just bursted someone, they'll just b anyway. Keep Haunting Guise as HG until your last item upgrade. And even then, might be best to sell it for Void Staff.

It's also pretty weak and inefficient even on character with DoT spells, about the only character who should rush this is Soraka, because she has no kill potential anyway, and even she should really get a RCS first.
