but the thing is, rageblade's low-hp passive doesn't help AP Varus at all. neither LS nor SV work well with him, as blight detonation doesn't work with spell vamp, and your AAs don't deal much physical damage so you also don't benefit much from the LS either.

also. I think malady IS a good item on AP Varus, as a mid-game item. he just synergizes with it so well I can't see how can u pass this. sure, it doesn't give that much AP, but after about 2 AP items I think this item would increase your DPS more than a pure AP item. not to mention the on-hit damage, which also scales with AP now.
