Rd71: I never said Unevent's response here was perfect. (I'm not saying it was bad either. I'll leave it to you and him to tussle over the specifics of this current argument.) What I was saying is that whether you can reach 900 AP with Karthus or not is somewhat irrelevant to the point that he seems to have been trying to argue in many of his other comments on this page is that raw AP should not be Karthus' top priority when building, compared with, for instance, magic penetration, and that Rod of Ages is overrated on him. You're right, the debate there is quite complicated. For a start, the question of whether or not Karthus needs both Seraph's and RoA for his mana needs is not a simple one to answer, and would I expect depend a bit on individual playstyle. But the question of whether Karthus can reach 900 AP or not does little to cut to engage with that debate.

Maybe Unevent was wrong to scoff at the idea of achieving 900AP (or close to). But even so, defeating him on that point while doing little to address the wider argument feels like a pretty small victory to me.
