I honestly blame his build that game. They didn't really have any damage and he delayed his damage. If he'd have started building a dcap after chalice, with 1-2 rings if he really needed more mana regen (he was getting like every blue), they'd have faired a lot better I think. The cdr on Grail is good on Xerath but it's not as useful as raw ap 2-4k gold in to the game. Grail's mana sustain is only better in teamfights, when you're only poking chalice + 2 rings is = or slightly better (depends on rings passive) to Grail sustain.

Ap>mana sustain>cdr imo for Xerath and Regi went cdr>mana sustain>ap
