Are people really so retarded that they can't access the other page on this wiki and read that DoT apply full spell vamp? I don't kow where the myth comes from, but two of Swain's skills get the full effect of spell vamp. The problem is that this item is just not that attractive to him. The first core item is RoA, as it allows you to almost never go oom during laning phase. Then you buy Crystal Scpeter or something like Deathcap (depending on the needs, either damage or tanfkyness).

The problem with Wota is that it does not give you additional tankyness like Crystal Scpter. If we want t increase the spell vamp effect of the ultimate for sustain then Deathcap is better, because it increases the damage to the level where spell vamp is greater than the effect you get with ulti + Wota. After you have RoA + Crystal Scepter/Deathcap you should rather buy something against focus, like Zhonya. This means you spend thousands of gold on quite essential items. There's just no place for Wota untill very, very late game. And even then I would consider buying a hybrid item, like Abyssal Scepter as better, because it increases your survivability to a greater extent.
