Crystal Maiden (Quick Guide)

I don't understand why anyone would get Arcane Boots or Ring of Basilius on Crystal Maiden

even before the most recent patch, there was no reason to get Arcane Boots you literally spend 1000 gold on something your arcane aura basically did for the most part. Now more than ever, getting arcane boots is completely worthless. Now level 1 Arcane Aura will do exactly the same in terms of mana regen as if you had Arcane Boots and spammed them on cooldown.

Ring of Basi gives you armor which is mostly negligible (since it is such a low armor value increase and you have next to no HP or strength gain), mana regen that is negligible near instantly, and a small amount of damage. 500 gold for mostly nothing.

Both of these values, when you have them, could be spent on Observer Wards or Bracers.

Also your first build I do on almost every support, except I more often take a single Clarity if I know I am going to be aggressive in lane (which means I almost always take one on Crystal Maiden

Thanks
