Mana regen seals become useless late game, while dodge is something that helps throughout the whole game. Infact mid game mana regen runes of any kind are useless for Gragas.
Clarity is something that is useful all game. Please note it also SCALES throughout the whole game.. Regen runes do NOT. Making regen very useless when Clarity is a HUGE help.
Also in regards to using clarity it has such a short CD that normally you can sit in a lane indefinately, and it greatly helps with ganks if you teleport to a team mate and they need the mana. Clarity can be popped for a gank/mid gank.
I have played Gragas with almost every decent summoner spell combo, and it still comes down to the fact that he doesn't need exhaust because he shouldn't be worried about getting hit, and ignite should NOT be the deciding factor in getting a kill.
wat
mana regen per level seals scale later game too. lol. i'm not talking about flat ones, nobody use them.
I'd rather have massive mana regen+ignite/exhaust than a bit of dodge and clarity but it's a matter of preference i guess.
Exhaust isnt used to escape, it's used to neutralise their carry/gank.
