Trinity Force might be a good item for Nunu.

Combined with his W, isn't guinsoos rageblade quite a good item too? Go in, get those stacks up and then pop ulti? Combined with a slowing item such as the active on Randuins or Frozen mallet, to slow them and then pop?

Just a thought. And a good jungled nunu can keep up with most lanes in cs until lvl 6 or so, and then he can start covering lanes for people going b, after that you have quite a bit of gold! =)

But I'm pretty sure TF is the ONLY viable AD item for Nunu.

Searz: Not guinsoos?

On the question of laning nunu I was going jungle the last game but all of a sudden we were 3v5 beause of afk/dc from start so I had to midlane vs Ashe... at lvl 6-7 we were equal in lvl and I was ahead of her in CS by some 20-30%... She was a bad Ashe, but still.

Think about it this way.

In a team fight, you could build AD and do MINIMAL damage to a few champions, chasing after them and getting CC'd because of your lack of a distance closer and any hard CC (unlike actual GOOD AD carries like Irelia, Nocturne, et cetera).

OR

You could build tanky AP, stick by your AD carry, give them permanent MS and AS steroids, never die, and CC the hell out of ANYONE that tries to hurt her. Second option seems a lot more effective.

While that is true, I think it would depend on the team comp.

Udyr and Warwick are both god-tier junglers, yet they both frequently lane top.

Guardsman Bob talked about the potential of lane nunu. If one were to try him AD, he would most certainly need top lane to get adequate farm.

I don't see why it couldn't work, either. He has a skillset that can really do damage solo top:

- passive that gives him manaless spells as long as he keeps CSing
- Q spell that can sustain him
- W/E spell that can be used as a gap closer/harass combo

He adds up to be at LEAST a good top laner in theory, and the limitations on AD nunu only seem to be farm. So, I think this could work.

In terms of build:

I'd say that atmog's would be best, but you'd definitely need to start with a BV. Trinity Force would definitely be a good option, but I think nunu would have to be heavy tanky to make this go right, so atma's + tf would be the only damage items, unless you're doing well.

It's definitely possible. I'm saying that on jungler Nunu, you can't really get away with going AD just because of that total lack of farm. But who knows, in a few weeks, AD lane Nunu may be the new OP.

The problem with AD solo top Nunu is that he's going to need to be able to keep minions off turrets and he needs to constantly auto attack or be against someone with poor harass in order for his sustain to be effective. If he's against a pusher, he loses, if he's against someone who can bully the lane, he loses.

He needs philosopher's stone, he will suck until he gets that. He also needs early defenses / HP.

His early game build to be able to stay in lane would suggest building AP tanky / tank. It doesn't translate well into an AD build.
