User blog comment:Idoberlin/Item Concept - Spirit of the Wolf Scout ( For Supports \ Support-Junglers)/@comment-5238542-20130829125424/@comment-9174617-20130829142859

First of all, thanks for the help! the numbers really help to check the viability of this item.

I thought about the problem of buying this item in terms of early game cost, and i think that because the stats of Spirit Stone are pretty similiar to those of Philosopher (exept for the gp10, of course) (from the p.o.v of a suppot, not a jungler), supports can buy Kage's first and than rush this item, buying sustain\SS first according to their prefference, and only than move to bigger items like Locket (this really fits my support build, even on supports like Leona or Thresh).

If someone have another idea on how to solve this problem, I will be happy to hear it :)
