very nice guide i think but i will not +1 because i don not use the champion
more attractive it can become but not so much i think
Uh... the guide you mean? Item section's pretty messy, and it's my first one so... Could you be more specific or give me some advice?

Thank you. I used to play Jungle Kayle a lot, but I felt she was too easily bullied / could easily fall behind. I also felt that I was imposing on my team's composition with Jungle Kayle. In fact, this guide started as a Jungle Kayle guide with different runes, item build etc.
The success I've had with her bot lane greatly surpasses my average record with her in the Jungle or Top lane, so I decided to post something in which I had more confidence. I strongly recommend you try it, especially with a Nunu. However, I'm also a better AD carry than I am a jungler, so that probably has a good deal to do with it.
I'd be interested to hear how you Jungle her.
I jungle Kayle as either a tanky DPS (Like I do with Shyvana, Frozen Mallet, Wits end, Wriggles, Then whatever I need, more damage or more tankyness) or as a full tank if we need it. Either way she works well for me. I don't jungle her that often, because I still prefer junglers like Udyr, Shyv and Noc.
Nice work. It's something to consider trying out. Even though I still prefer Kayle in the jungle.

Thanks. I'll make it clearer that Maw is more of a heavily recommended, personal preference of mine. I'd say the Core is Bzerk Greaves, BCleaver, Phant D, Bld Thirster.
Tangent:
Maw is just... soooo good though. Been times when I've ulted myself with really low health and dat passive... Coupled with the Shield I don't think there's a better item that provides such Offense/Defense in one neat package. Feel that's why Wit's End became so prevalent.
hmm really sparks my interest,makes me wanna try her out
Do it. I've learned a lot from playing Kayle. She's rather unique.
(edited for wording/grammar)
Thanks for the comment- you actually brought up a lot of stuff I should expand on in my guide.
Throwing away so much damage potential with no AP? Righteous Fury only has a .2 AP Ratio, Divine Blessing .35- (0 "damage" potential anyway, but it's still a bad ratio, not to mention it's practically useless until much later) and there's no ratio for Intervention, of course.
Her only good AP ratio is for Reckoning- 1.0, exactly the same as its AD ratio.
Her magic damage is good enough with Righteous Fury's base damage and Reckoning. Building AD will actually maximize your damage because you're building Attack Speed, Crit, and Attack Damage. To deal the most damage you want to be building each of these stats. Building Hybrid will get you mediocre AP spread on mediocre ap ratios. The AS/Crit/AD trinity, if you will, is > weak ap ratios on two skills, one pretty good ap ratio on skill that benefits just as much from AD.
The problem with Guinsoo's Rageblade (besides the fact that you really don't benefit as much from AP) is that it is a mid-game item with average stats. I can't afford to delay my BF sword / Zeal to get it when they're so much more worth it.
You also benefit more sustaining with Lifesteal rather than Spellvamp, making The Bloodthirster a stronger choice than Hextech Gunblade. Her amazing farming ability also allows for quick stacks on BT.
As for Ionic Spark, I would rather get Wit's End- more single target damage+MR, you should try to focus whoever you Q. Ionic spark can be helpful for jungle clears or pushing, but Righteous Fury's AOE already accomplishes that. And instead of Wit's End, I'd rather get Hexdrinker, as I have plenty of Attack Speed with BC/PD, and I can upgrade to Maw which has sweet, delicious, precious passives.
Honestly, I've tried all of the above before, and while I may have won some games here and there, I lost, too, and didn't feel I was a huge force for my team with which to be reckoned. With the above core build, I do. As I stated in the guide, they could be situational if you're running a Double Wota comp, I actually haven't tested them in that particular scenario. However, I've not come close to the consistency and amount of success I've had with pure AD Kayle.
Again, thank you for your comments,they helped, glad it cost me no RP.
