So thinking up a build for this guy. Never played but from what i undestand he wants to tank up a bit.

RoA + Zhonyas + Rabadons + Liandries + Abyssal? + CDR boots?

Last two items are questions. From what i've seen his range ain't great, so an abyssal might be better than a void staff. As for CDR boots, well, he needs some in there. With masteries you'd have 20%, which is enough for him i think. You could take scaling CDR Blues and get to 35% at 18, but i don't think thats worth it. Myself I'd go with scaling AP Quints and Blues, M.pen Reds and Scaling health Yellows (I think malz normally goes for the lategame, so I'd take runes that make him stronger late and besides, the scaling runes mostly are even at 6/7 and stronger past than flat's, the excaeption being ap quints which are even at 11 if i remember correctly). Masteries wise i'd probably say a 21/9/0 build is best.

looking at it now, there's no mana regen in that build so would athenes and sorc shoes be better than abyssal and cdr boots?
