yeah, mejai's is not so great on Karth in my opinion as your passive is all about dying, and it's so hilarious to get double kills after their gank kills you. typical start is either saph crystal or meki pendant. build either into catalyst if you prefer surviving or tear of the goddess if you prefer pure damage. ionian boots to reduce the high CD of Req, upgrade to either Rod of Ages or AA. then get Rabadon's, AA, then it's up to how you're doing. if you're up against a lot of casters, get Abyssal and Lich Bane and demolish their towers. if up against a lot of melee DPSers, Frozen Heart helps defense and AP from AA. Rylai's helps survive large bursts and makes them easy to catch. if they start stacking huge mres, get void(duh). I have to recommend Lich Bane regardless just so you can effectively take out their towers quickly even without your teammates. enough AP with Lich Bane and the towers just vanish in 3-4 seconds. regardless, my typical build(I main karth) is saph crystal, tear, Ionian boots, AA, Rabadon's, AA, (if they're stacking mres) void (if not) Lich Bane or AA, Lich Bane or AA(whichever I didn't get last item) after knowing what items to use, I use typical 9/0/21 masteries, mpen marks, flat AP glyphs and quints, and mana regen @ lvl 18 seals(they may be AP shortly possibly) to master karth, you must master the bombs. and be careful that you don't accidently leave defile running for no reason >.< it will demolish your mana. unless you get blue buff. then I just leave defile on.
