Update:

Okej 10000 builds already out there, all the same. Archived.

Update 2.

This build is very expensive, so you might want to buy more early game items first, think blasting wands and needles large rods.

Update:
Flash + garrison
ghost + garrison

Flash allows for me to flash out, ghost doesn`t really help escape.

Thanks for your input thought, your build works as well, the prospector can be holding you back. It is 900 gold and if you skill for the rabadons you will get more damage mid game.

it really depends on how your enemies play too. If just 1 comes bott (what often happens) you will indeed have to fight with just 1 champion and that is really easy for shaco.

But than again, i usually start rigging mid with Jacks if this happens for extra map control, making it *busy* again for shaco.

I suppose its just personal preference for me, and I have never tried your set up but I shall to see how it works for me. Do you use both Ghost and Flash at once or Ghost/Garrison and Flash/Garrison? It would help to clarify for me =)

As for the first five minutes of the game, as of recently, most of my games so far have been seeing a recent trend in 1 bottom/1 mid (who reinforces top)/3 top as the standard formation on both teams. That leaves a bottom defender Shaco with the easy role of holding off one person while everyone else fights for the early lead on the Windmill.

And point taken about never having to sell prospector, I almost never get past four core items. I'll have to try it

Thanks for the suggestions. I changed the ghost as main in guide.
But let me explain it, i was not going to put this in, because this is personal and a lot of useless info, but here is it:
I skill ghost AND flash, because it depends on my team which one i want to take. Some games they ask me NOT to solo bot, than you definitly need ghost. If i solo bot i usually take flash, but sometimes ghost too if i have a feeling i`ll be running for other points often because others lose them... and about the going back to the spawning pool, especially the first 5 minutes of the game, there is NO way for you to go back to the spawning pool, when 2 enemies are trying to get to your point and you are the only one on it. So yes, you need the Mp5 and the health and the ability power. The boots + prospecter give a much better setup for shaco, since you will hardly ever get to the point where you have to sell the prospecter... Most games end before you even have 6 items, let alone gold for the 7th.

If I may suggest, I personally prefer to use my starting 1375 gold with this:
-Boots of Speed
-Sapphire Crystal
-Amplifying Tome

This sets you up for your Sorcerer Shoes and a Sheen to build into your Lich Bane and does not make it so you have to sell your Prospector item later to make it worthwhile while giving you good enough AP, MP, and Movement speed to start the game.

You mention you play solo bottom, (I personally play Shaco solo mid then gank top, and proceed to roam), so in a sense you do not have to worry TOO much about MP problems and health as you are so close to the spawning pool, and I believe these items give you just enough for what a Shaco needs beginning game.

Also, suggest fixing the fact in your Utility tree you have one point in haste but no Ghost ;)

I suggest trading the Prospecters item for something else, after you have the rest of the items. If the match lasts long i think you should trade it for an endgame item.

For the rest, thank you again smallslayer
