Something to be tested: Spell vamp tank Olaf.The problem with Olaf is that his e chunks away too much of his own health to make use of the cdr on aa passive. At 40% CDR e gets down to 4.8s and at about 2.0 aspd is reduced to under 2 secs. This is a ridiculous amount of true damage but you'll die in the process... Suggested build: spell vamp masteries and quints (9% total), merc treads, frozen mallet, spirit visage, zeke's herald, randuin's omen and... guinsoo's rageblade. Wasted ap, I know (still cost efficient mind you), but at 50% health when the passive kicks in you'll have 19% spell vamp. With the increases from your w passive (20%) and spirit visage (20%) you'll have 19x1.4 = 26.6% spell vamp. This means you'll only be taking 3.4% of the damage done by e instead of 30%, which is fairly sustainable given Olaf's inherent life steal and regen. This only increases as your health drops with your w, up 30.4% sv at 1hp. Given the fact that e won't drop you lower than 1hp you actually heal for a full 30.4% of the damage done. This heal will also occur when last hitting as the health cost is refunded. Also if you have a nearby ally with will of the ancients (s4 buffs look good), your spell vamp increases to 54.6% at half health, healing you for almost a quarter of the damage done! This goes up to 62.4% sv at 1hp. This is HEALING from tonnes of unmitigated true damage as long as you can stay in range, which frozen mallet, furor on tenacity boots and your ult can all help you with. Can this please be tested, my maths checked, suggestions given, etc. N.B. At 18% health you reach max attack speed with full guinsoo stacks and w active for 6 seconds with a 3.6s wait until it can be reactivated.You also have 57.4% life steal at half health with this build, increasing as health depletes.Q procs spell vamp (at one third effectiveness) as well.Ally with wota suggestion: Kayle, as the synergy with Olaf is just too good.
