Talk:Graves/@comment-3985944-20111205064949

Graves is one of my favorite ranged DPS, he's no longer OP, and for sure not UP. For everyone I've seen discussing Trinity as a core item for Graves, I'm not so sure. It sounds like it would be decent for the simple Buckshot -> Trinity harass combo, but that's only ideal during laning phases. A Trinity will never compare to what Graves is capable of when given an IE and you properly utilize Quickdraw's attack speed buff, especially in team-fights. Play him mid with 25 APEN, 19 MP/5 Per Level (or) 13% Attack Speed.

Boots/Doran's -> BF Sword -> Zerker's -> IE -> Vampiric Scepter -> Zeal -> PD. Follow that with some additional armor penetration of your choice and some minor survivability and you're golden.
