i get what u saying i just enjoy taking great pleasure from seeing someone believe they can prevent themselves from dieing and killing me and yes i agree with what your saying but that also brings up the point of enjoying a nice tanky assasin which can work on pantheon :) but yeah thats a whole other build and i enjoy'd the long winded read from your point of view :)

sorry for dragging on, just wanted to get my view of the argument across haha

i can see how trinity force would be a good item, but that honestly is making this build too expensive, being that it is the most expensive item in the game. The way this build was set up was so that you would be dealing exceptional damage mid game that would continue to keep up as the game progressed. any item past the infinity edge is a great luxury to have in itself since games don't tend to last long enough to finish even a bloodthirster. people have told me to back door before, but i never actually got around to trying it with him. i can definitely see how Pantheon could be a good backdoor champion though. as to spacing out your attacks to maximize sheen, you would need to be a lot more tanky to be able to do that because if it becomes a drawn out fight, you are risking the possibility of a teammate arriving to help out the target as well as not doing enough damage to cause a panic. This panic, for one, comes from you surprising the enemy, and two, the amount of burst damage you can inflict. taking out the burst allows the enemy to regain composure and believe he/she can fight back. Plus, drawing out an assassination goes against the very definition of an assassination lol.

also on another note have u eva just built pantheon for tower pushing ? with his ult and teleport like tf it can work really well :)

well thats what im saying now days using ur full combo leaves you quite vulnerable and i agree sheen early doesnt help to much but it does help to have triforce mid game :) as for using the proc to its fullest if u mixed in a frozen mallet at somepoint whilst u use a stun to get up close then use the tri proc then hit with a heartseeker keeping them in range from the slows then another stun/spear for proc it goes together quite nicely whilst not wasting all your mana at once if you get what i mean. the full combo still works on squishy's but anyone who has any survivability is more vulnerable to the tri proc/slow routine

i actually have tried that, but i didnt really lik it as an early game item. if anything, it would be better as a later game item because your damage wouldnt be getting much of a boost. also, you would be using all of your moves at once, so you would only get one sheen proc for all 3 of your moves

commented already >..<

have you tryed running sheen instead of manamune i knw panth has mana issues and only his Zeonia and Ult have any sort of scale with ap but the procs frm it plus the general stats from trinity help alot with survivability aswell as a lil more movespeed is always nice but yeah apart from that i do like the build on paper
