No. You don't really stack gunblade on akali all that much. She gets burst to kill, unlike jax who stacks for sustain.

do you think akali will be less of a instant killer with the Hextech Gunblade nerf coming up.

Akali uses Lich Bane and Deathcap for her massive burst and instant-kills; the Gunblade provides some extra damage, certainly, but the important thing it provides is sustainability (the spellvamp in particular, plus the additional spellvamp it grants due to her passive).
The Gunblade nerf only damages her sustain a bit, and what I predict (depending on how hard they hit the Gunblade's numbers) will either be no changes, or you'll simply see people building the early Revolver and focusing on the damaging items early instead of going for that full Gunblade right at the start. (the Revolver into Deathcap/Lich Bane build is what I've always built, myself, and what Westrice suggested prior to Scarra's recent tournament success with Akali.)

I'm actually thinking about getting a new champion. I'm good with mages, solo top or jungle champs and can't decide between Xin Zhao (my first choice atm), Wukong, Lee Sin, Brand and Swain.

So.... is Xin still a viable jungler or is he weaker in comparison to Lee Sin, Nocturne & Co.? Who is more fun, Brand or Swain?

Please help me. ;)

Xin is viable in most cases. If you like him, use him. But much of what he does, other champs like Lee Sin can do better. Lee just takes more skill (since he requires a lot of timing and precision in his skills), but Xin is perfectly effective.

I've not played Brand, but Swain is awesome. Freaking offtank caster powered by witchcraft. He kills things and I don't know how. D:

Galio more of a support tank but his ultimate wins game, and used A LOT in high elo.
Maokai is a good choice, because he has two disruptors, not bad damage either.

To be honest I'd choose Galio but Maokai is ok too.

Actually Ryze with a Manamune, Rod of Ages, Frozen Heart, and Banshee's Veil is an AD offtank mage. That's just how he rolls.

Most of the time I run Archangel's Staff, but the massive AD you get is just frickin hilarious. Throw a couple autoattacks when your abilities are on CD and you actually do a ton of damage.
Thanks to Lugignaf for the sig!
