D-do you know how to play as a Caster Marksman Aku? It's a catch 22. You deal more damage by churning out spells. The spells enable more damage. Spells require mana and cooldown to effectively use on demand for a given situation. No mana and cooldown means no spells, no damage.

Ezreal without mana is like Dirty Harry with an empty revolver.

If you are a caster you will build your main damage item, your main AS item, Essence Reaver, A fourth item (probably pen), your boots of choice and then a purely situational item (probably guardian angel).
