^ Spectral wraith is a waste of cash. You dump money into doing more neutral minion damage(don't need cause of E), reducing smite cooldown, mana regen, and selfish spellvamp.

In contrast, for 500g more (and theoretically less cause you can build a kage's and sit on it). You get more AP (more slot efficiency) and you get more team benefit.

20% Spellvamp and 30 AP for everybody on the team is not a small amount, it is amazing. And makes the item so much better for the holder and the team.

Be reminded, this is a TEAM game. And in my opinion, Vlad is very much a team player with his ult.
