Author's notes

Built on the old oses build but tweaked to my own preference. I don't think double wall is dead, it just does so much damage and cc...

1Early game
Game stage · 11 items
1. 1
  Restorative Shot
  Guaranteed proc makes this auto pickup, sell later.
2. 2
  Extra Spirit
  Cheap pickup for more damage, but slot efficient upgrade.
3. 3
  Mystic Shot
  Same as resto shot but for damage. Sell super late.
4. 4
  Improved Spirit
  Built from Extra Spirit
  More damage for your abilities and Mystic Shot.
5. 5
  Extra Health
  Help out with Graves' squishness early, nice combo with extra stam to make up 4.8k.
6. 6
  Extra Stamina
  Get this to have normal movement.
7. 7
  Heroic Aura
  Pop with skulls and ghouls out for mega attack and move speed. I like to use this on minion waves to push up really fast without being there. Gun spike now.
8. 8
  Enchanter's Emblem
  Super efficient item for offensive and defensive stats.
9. 9
  Healbane
  Easy to apply anti-heal, using this instead of Toxic Bullets to save slot space. Health spike now.
10. 10
  Duration Extender
  Duration is nuts on Graves, start here.
11. 11
  Superior Duration
  Built from Duration Extender
  Skulls and ghouls have much longer lifetime, wall stays up longer and the root itself is longer. Really nice. Spirit spike now.

1. 1
  Echo Shard
  Sure, the cooldown of this got doubled on wall, but it still cooks so so hard. 4 ghouls and 600 wall damage is nuts. Just don't spam this and use wisely.
2. 2
  Stamina Mastery
  Built from Extra Stamina
  Skippable but makes you much faster with instant air dashes.
3. 3
  Spirit Lifesteal
  Builds into Spiritual Overflow. Nice stats.

1. 1
  Lightning Scroll
  Makes tombs slightly more annoying with a bit extra burst, not sure how much I like this in practice.
2. 2
  Ethereal Shift
  A way to not instantly die if you get jumped. Can buy time for cooldowns or just your ghouls to walk over.
3. 3
  Spirit Burn
  Highest anti-heal in the game if you need it.

  Rebuttal
  Good against melee heavy lanes, can replace extra health.
2. 2
  Dispel Magic
3. 3
  Counterspell
