I've mained Ryze since LV1 (I'm LV29 now) so I think I've quite a bit of experience with this champion. My typical endgame build (basically the items I will ALWAYS have if the game stretches) are :

Archangel's Staff, Rod of Ages, Sorcerer's Shoes, Banshee's Veil and Frozen Heart.

I will always build them first once I get the gold, and since I'm building tanky, I'm contesting whether I'll fit in WotA or Rylai's for the sixth slot. Personally, I'd prefer Rylai's (because Ryze can be a bit slow with his ult off) but I want suggestions - what are the situations where building Will over Rylai's is better? I mean, Ryze already has spectacular spellvamp with his ult which will always be up for teamfights, but with Will you're absurdly hard to trade with. You're also helping the team with the aura.

Rylai's also helps him tank since it gives a good amount of health paired with a slow that makes you almost unescapable (plus his ult guarantees you'll slow someone if not everyone). Well, they both give the same amount of AP, but in what situations am I better off using Will over Rylai's?

Or if not WotA or Rylai's, what item can you suggest to maximize tanky/shit-ton-of-DPS build?
