Rd71: Just looking at that original screenshot... including Baron buff smacks of slight disingenuousness. I mean, that's hardly a thing you can rely upon. Sure, it's fun to throw that into calculations to figure out how strong your build CAN be, but as the saying goes, "Hope for the best, plan for the worst." If your ideal build only becomes worth when your team's already winning (as they usually will be if you've secured Baron), it's not really an ideal build.

Anyway, it's also kind of beside the point. Of course your build is going to have more AP that Unevent's. That doesn't really address the argument he's been making on this page in the past few months, which rests, from what I can see, on two propositions:

1) Karthus does not need RoA for the mana, and thus can pick a different item to maximize his damage.

2) Karthus benefits more from magic penetration (both flat and percentage) than he does from raw AP.

Boasting (as I fear you're doing) about how much AP your build can have isn't really doing anything to address either of those points. If you really want to prove him wrong, you'd be well advised to find a rebuttal that does.
