Friendly reminder; autoattacks refresh passive's duration (So you don't have to hit every single one of Q's if you're harrasing and are in attack range). By having capped out CDR you can just skip out ineffective CDR items and go straight for damage (Liandry's...). With alot of CDR you can use your ult more often, and consistently go for EWQW (difference between waiting 19 and 14,25 secs (25%)/11,4 secs (40%) for a stack is pretty singificant if you ask me. ) to burst someone down. Also, yes, I'm kinda planning to max W.

But yeah, I guess it might not be as effective as I'm thinking it'd be, but from my experience having alot of CDR early does help with alot of things. Hey, if it helped me greatly on Skarner why wouldn't it help me on dedicated mage, right?

And "optimised damage/resistances/sustain build" just from runes? Well, he can have 12 mr, 8 of that countered by my marks (CDR marks are plain ineffective). And he can then pen 8 of my mr (he would anyway, I never use MR glyphs). If he's AD I can build into zhonya's an yway. Runes really aren't that significant, unless you're going for some kind of cheese. (Not counting the fact that I have to go into utility tree, because that's just kinda payoff in itself; it's not like I'm not getting anything from it compared to offensive one)
