i could recomend you my build, nothing fancy and i aint clamining to be the best swain in the world, but its solid, alright: i start off with boots and 3 pots, i choose this above dorans ring because i dont feel the ap is noticeable, and moving faster means closer in faster after a nevermore, and such. i then proceed to get catalyst the protector, now at this point, if i feel that my laning enemy is a big threat i will build either a negatron cloak or chainmail, obviously depending on their damage, i feel this extra resistance reaaally helps through early midgame where i feel he struggles the most, i then finish rod of ages, and get tier 2 boots. now, if im doing well and were ahead ill take this time to get a tear of the goddes for much longer ult sessions, and then zhonyas hourglass, if were strugling abit ill just rush zhonyas and play more conservatively. at this point, if i built a negatron earlier ill turn it into an abyssal scepter(though i ocassionally do this anyway if my team has several other sources of magic damage) then comes rabbadons deathcap, i rarely get further than this but it would include items like abyssal scepter and archangels staff. for runes i use a fairly standard caster magicpen Reds, mana per5 Seals and ap perlvl blues. standard 9-0-21 caster setup. skills wise i start out with torment unless were doing an early teamfight or jungle invasion at which point id take nevermove, i get all 3 skills by lvl 3, i then max torment because leveling it also increases your other skills damage output, i then grab a few lvls in nevermove to reduce cooldown and then i just lvl it up alongside decreprify, other than this practice is really the most important aspect of him. sorry for the huge wall of text, i hope it helps though.
