Nope, 900AP in a normal or ranked game at full build, usually around 35/40 minutes in. He definitely doesn't profit from magic pen over AP, though... obviously I get some in the form of runes and void staff (perhaps will try liandry's sometime) but building more AP means that your q does more damage and heals you for more, and that is far superior to doing less damage but having lots of sv to compensate. I would honestly never get ga on vlad. First, because it could be taken up by a high-damage item, and second since I only average two deaths on him per game anyway. I'm very good at staying alive, and it isn't hard with a pool. Other than that, the build looks quite similar to what I do get.

My core build looks like:

4pots + boots, gp5, revolver, rabadons, dfg (cdr and 120AP and high-damage stacking with ult? I think so), wota. After that, I build the highest AP items that fit the situation, so zhonya's if there is lots of AD or abys if there is lots of AP. Because I build my boots into gank boots no matter the lane, I also sometimes get the spirit visage for the cdr/health/increased heal, but don't like to because it could replaced by a damaging item.

Anyway, thanks for the input everyone :3
