I'm sure I don't heal off the true damage component of hiten style when somebody's got a WotA near me (nor off the lifesteal of, say, a wriggles anyway). Isn't it the same type of skill, relating to the origin of the damage?

See notes

It shouldn't work with kassadin's auto-attack with w active based on how spell vamp normally works. But if it does work I'd say it would be an exception to the normal rules of spell vamp. Can someone test this for sure? o.o

I'll test it now.

EDIT: Yes, nether blade definitely gives spell vamp healing.

Every kassadin I've ever seen on the enemy team end up feeding my mid 0-6 pre-lvl6 and then building a mejai's and carrying anyway. :O

The ones on my team feed and build mejai's too, but they just continue feeding.

if i had to narrow down the the biggest mistake that i see many kassadin players make, it would be the following:

they don't fully (if at all) exploit the window where kassadin is fucking GODLY.

once you hit lvl 6 and get a hold of blue buff, you should be looking to exert an unreal amount of map control on the enemy team - ganking top/bottom/jungle/whatever. whenever i see kassadins fail it's because they just sit in lane for too long from levels 6-11 and don't abuse riftwalk's mobility and the unpredictable ganking paths that you can take (basically come from any direction) to gank.

I feel the greatest mistake people make while playing kassadin is to build AP instead of mana regen in early game.

Yes you may be ok if you get blue buff, but you cannot count on it. You need to have a plan B.

Kassadin run out of mana VERY quickly as you must use lots of R to gank during lv 6~12 or you're doing it wrong. Usually you will not ont shot people like LeBlanc but you can chase people extremely well. This is why you must have at least one mana item if you cannot get blue 24/7.
Dont be too humble, you are not that great.

Every Kassadin gets either AA or RoA. Some get both. There is no big mistake being made by people failing to get "mana items," only with how people play in lane. Many eat too many skillshots at the early levels and don't trade or farm effectively with Q + W's free regen. Many play too passively once they hit 6 and don't zone mages like they should. Many don't leave their lanes enough to gank, counter gank, or control objectives. Not having "enough regen" is rarely, if ever, the issue.

I honestly don't think Kassadin should get both tear and cata. You gimp your damage far too long and as Kass you really need to take advantage of your post-6 mid game. Personally, I always feel better going cata->roa than 2drings->tear. The second option gives you more damage and more mana later, but as Kass you're pretty squishy and you have to get pretty close to the enemy team. Not to mention your in-lane staying power is pretty crap. Cata makes you a bit tankier and lets you have better lane sustain.

Biggest mistake I see with people playing Kass is picking him into bad matchups. Unless the matchup is heavily in your favor, it's never a good idea to pick Kass imo. He gets screwed too easily in unfavorable matchups, especially since his Q is only 650 range now.

Ok, I'm bored and doing an AD Kassadin, BD all day long fun as hell. Not sure how to build him tho.

Liek for opening you can go boots3

Maladay is good, Stinger maybe

Gunblade? Seems pretty good with nether blade proccing spellvamp.

Rageblade? Also pretty good

Nashors? Now its actually pretty efficient, but you dont need the mana regen and 25%CDr is too much

Normal AD Items? What boots? Zerkers are good damage, but CDR could be good or mercs for escape, I cant decide.

I havent felt the need to build any mana on him at all really, as you get so much from just whacking creeps and not being an idiot and spamming riftwalk.

last time I tried that i just built him tanky. atmogs with triforce to take advantage of his passive being a strong attack speed steroid+one of the highest (lategame) base AD in the game. his laning sucks really hard if you don't build AP tho.

Eh, I cant see the reason to be warmogs tanky, you shouldn't get into situations where you need that much health. I just played 3 games and did really well with Zerkers/Malady/Gunblade/Bveil. The Veil is cool because you just jump people with 2.2 second silence, then the veil blocks after thats over, its really strong on him because blinking around doesnt give anyone an opportunity to pop it before you engage. Also surge.

People have been laning vs me really poorly though, letting me hit creeps gives me infinite mana and therefore infinite silences and harass.

EDIT: The other nice thing about gunblade is that building Cutlass gives you the amazing unnerfed 15% lifesteal, which combined with W mana generation make you infinitely sustained.

I think you should read up on how damage to towers is calculated if you want a backdoor kass.
With items like rageblade and gunblade either the AP or AD portion is wasted. Nashors is a good item as is BT, IE and crap.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Whoa, I just tried opening boots3 into zerkers into cutlass, and it seems VERY strong, you can lifesteal to full health incredibly fast, then jump on them/silence, 50% slow, and whack the shit out of them, the damage is very high, I was able to outtrade heavily and the sustain is infinite after one item, you can literally roam forever.

Alright, I'm mildly interested. Which lanes does he work in? What do you build after Gunblade? How do teamfights go? What's your late game plan? I'll be that guy and ask "Why not Irelia?" (not that a fun build has to be better, but still).

I've been going mid, because the silence ruins any chance of retaliation when you jump them.

I've also been skilling R>W>Q>E, starting with Q. Going Cutlass also allows you to not put any points into E, because it provides the slow which is the only reason to get E, while ranks of Q are good for harass and more importantly the longer silence when you go in.

Items are:
Boots3
Zerkers/cutlass
Malady
Gunblade
Bveil

I've only got to latelate game once where I built GA and BT. I'm still not sure about items really after Cutlass malady, but that start is so good. GA is pretty cool because as long as you dont die with 5 ontop of you they wont catch you as you revive and blink away.

In Lane you just try to last hit as best you can, and spam Q on every cooldown because you have infinite mana. You cant really trade reliably until after you get cutlass and some AS, but the second you get cutlass and 6 you can just play the lane like a complete douche and jump all over them, you trade really well and heal to full in one wave. Then you roam all over teh fucking map, ward their buffs and steal them and kill anyone who gets low. You can play super dangerous and push lanes.

Teamfighting is careful, you are beast 1v1 and can take pretty much anyone, but you dont want to get into big fights. Just hang out back a bit and toss silences until you see an opportunity to go in without getting focused, or 1v1. The thing is its really easy to do this when you have free 4 second flash. You have mad deeps just have to be not kamikaze. Remember surge lasts for 12 second so just pop it whenever teamfight happens.

Lategame I just split push like a motherfucker, impossible to catch you and you level towers and waves pretty fast. With 3 second silence you win like any 1v1, so they have to send a bunch of people to stop you.
