I'm not sure why people complain about him being squishy? He's probably the only mage along with Ryze who doesn't need shit loads of AP to deliver the damage thanks to his Q. The only AP items I build are DFG and Rabadon's (and possibly situationals). Yeah... This gives you a total of 210 AP. With AP Quints (+15), Mental Force mastery (+4) and Blast (18 AP at lvl 18) the value goes up to 247, + 35% from Rabadon's passive and Archmage mastery that's 334 AP. Now everytime you farm with Q or kill an enemy Champion your AP keeps rising more than just +1 or +1/2/3/4/5 due to Rabadons and Archmage. Assuming you have around 5 maxed Q enemy champion kills and 100 CS also from Q, which is just normal game stats IMO, that's an extra 169 AP. This gives a total of 500+ AP from simply two AP items, not counting with Elixir. Any other AP carry will only get values like this with full AP build. DFG active will hit for 45% of target's health, combined with Q + R combo it's just insane damage, even against an AP carry who built MR.

Full build: Sorc Shoes, DFG, Rabadons, Frozen Heart, BV (or Abyssal Scepter for more nuking power), HP item (Warmogs is preferred, but Rylai's and RoA also adds to your AP)

Pros: Max CDR, lots of HP/Resistances

Cons: Not as much damage output as full glass cannon Veigar, misses out Magic Pen from Void Staff.
