dont get rabadons, he isnt really an ap champ, he is a mana champ... dont buy ohmwrecker, get frozen heart instead cause it gives more armor, more mana, gives cooldown and the passive is good for lowering enemy carry's damage. Get banshee, ok, but if the enemy team is physical damage focused, ohmwrecker instead of banshees could do the trick.

The ideal build is ROA, sorcerers, frozen heart, banshee's, muramana and seraph's. Not in that order. It gives you balanced defenses (higher than any mage and still with very good damage), 35% cooldown (adding q's passive), like 4k mana and if you need even more defenses, seraph's gives you a sheild. It takes time to get all of that tho, youd have to charge two tears.

Of course you would need to change some items if the enemy team is magic-focused or physical-focused or stacks magic resist or has a lot a true damage or you really need spell vamp (which I personally dont need as his ult gives it and is on very low cooldown) youre doing poorly or whatever any other reason.
