When Vel'Koz was released, I thought he scaled so poorly that the only viable way to build him was with a full penetration build, but as it turns out, despite his strong bases he also scales pretty well with AP. You can still deal a lot of damage with nothing but a pure utility build, which is one of the reasons why he's a popular support (he also has a ton of great crowd control), but I recommend you build a bit of AP on him even then. I would not recommend going tanky, since Vel already has so much peel and crowd control that you'll usually have no trouble avoiding damage.
