One of the problems with Essence Reaver is that you don't get the mana sustain when you need it the most--in lane. A way to fix this would be to make it build out of BF Sword and a cheaper item that has the same passive, in the vain of Phage, Brutalizer and Cutlass. Stats could be 25AD, 10%CDR and the mana passive. Or maybe 25AD, the mana passive and 8% lifesteal. If we go with the latter, it'd build out of Longsword and Scepter.

If we'd go with the former, one could build it out of longsword and a new basic CDR item(could also build into Codex and Kindlegem), that would be 8 or 10 % CDR for 350-450 gold (sort of like what Brawler's Gloves are for crit chance).

What do you think? Would this make Essence Reaver a more attractive buy in lane?
