Alright, well Fiddles is not Udyr, he takes quite a lot of skill, or common sense, to play.

RoA is probably better than Athenes because of how squishy Fiddles is, and the cost is basically the same. Use abilities sparingly because even that grail will not help much if you spam Q and E. If RoA does not solve your mana problem, invade their blue or get the grail, or just get better at conserving your moves. I rune 0 mana regen, and starting with Doran's Ring is enough for me.

Now, about Fiddles. You want to solve the 'sneezes kill me' problem ASAP, so I get Catalyst to help with the mana problem he has and part of his HP problem. Sorc boots make their MRes dissapear due to passive, masteries, and runes, and you will not be slow as a snail. If you are not a fan of obsessive MPen, CDR boots are supposedly viable due to Q and E 'stunlock' and it helps with R CD as well. You want the damages, but later in the game, because early game you do enough and you cannot make effective use of W due to low level Q. I shock a lot of people with my tanky AP build, because people expect him to be really squishy. If you play him right, all his moves hit about 3 or more times, so his ratios make up for having less pure dmg.
