Wow...I just told you about the third time I did and you still say I didn't? The hell...it took me about 7-8 minutes to read it, you really think I would have commented if I hadn't? Too bad I can only vote once, you'd deserve to get a million -1 votes for your stupidity...
If you've read the guide then what are the items I say to build on Nasus
Omg, what kind of answer is that? What kind of guide owner are you? When a viewer looks at your guide and comments some objections, you give him arguments about how and why he's wrong and you're right, not insult him, omfg that is the most ******ed answer I ever got form a guide-owner on this site. EVER. I didn't read the guide? What's not to read, your guide is shorter than Justin Bieber's ****. Half my Shyvana guide took twice the time it took you to lay out this guide, just for that you get a minus 1, you have no idea how to treat your audience.
And yet, you still refuse to read the guide.

Ok, let me put it another way: Youmuu's Ghosblade sucks. I don't even use it on Garen anymore and people say it was made for him. It just gives too little of too many stats and it's not worth it to buy. If you really think that 1 second less of waiting to use Siphoning Strike actually matters than you might as well give up playing this game. That second would be much more worth it spent attacking your enemy with a normal attack if you actually have a good attack speed. Believe me, Nasus with attack speed is a boss. I don't really get why people don't build attack speed on him, why would you ever use that chalice thing when instead you can just take a Wit's End and get your dose of MR as well as increase your DPS considerably. Nasus doesn't benefit from AD? Are you crazy? Siphoning Strike has a 1.2 ratio of TOTAL AD(not bonus). How could he not benefit? And he has a life-steal passive, why would you not auto-attack people to benefit form it? Also, why would you ever buy Infinity Edge and not Bloodthirster?
Plus, you contradict yourself, you say Nasus doesn't need critical strike chance, yet your build offers about 55% of it. And you have Infinity Edge for the extra damage if you crit. Even though this is an incoherence, I do agree, critical strikes are not what Nasus is about, BUT having a good 30% chance( Atma's Impaler+ Trinity Force) can be beneficial, as even one critical once in a while can change the outcome of fight.
So, let's review: you have an off-tank build for Nasus with no added life-steal, no attack speed bonus except Trinity Force(which you build last), no mixed defense-offense item(like Atma's Impaler, Wit's End, Maw of Malmortius, Madred's Bloodrazor), but you insist that Nasus needs CDR. I tend to not like your guide...AT ALL...
Again, you put in a lot of effort into your comment to show your ignorance. What you are, in fact, referencing is what I CLEARLY stated as the "wrong" way to play Nasus.
I took the time to lay out an extensive guide, and you spend more time thinking about yourself. You completely disregarded every single section, and yet you pretend to talk like you know what it's all about. All you've done is embarrass yourself in front of the rest of class.

For the item comments, I believe you were looking at the "how not to build Nasus" cheat sheet. That confused me too at first O.o. There's another cheat sheet with items that you should be building.
One common misconception today is that people have been brainwashed into think building Warmogs=building Atma's automatically. This isn't necessarily true for every champion, especially in light of the last Atma's nerf. For Nasus, a champion who is building mostly full tank items, Atma's armor is a bit lacking and the crit chance is mostly useless (Nasus Q's farmed damage doesn't crit). The Ad is also not very useful since as I stated above, CDR's multiplicative damage increase on Siphoning Strike will do more damage than bonus AD ever would for Nasus' Q. Nasus' attack speed is also nothing special, with the only AS item being Trinity Force, so overall Nasus just doesn't benefit from AD very much.

Nasus doesn't need CDR because he bases his performance mainly on one ability , Siphoning Strike and that has a very low cool-down. Because of this you really don't need to buy Youmuu's Ghostblade. If you want armor penetration just get a Last Whisper.
Nasus is one of the best DPS champions to have life-steal on cause he already has natural life-steal from his passive. For that reason Bloodthirster should ALWAYS be the preferred pick for AD over Infinity Edge.
You have good armor and magic resistance, but not a whole lot of health. What would you say of an "Atmog's" combo?
I would say thank you for not even pretending to read the guide and you can get the Hell out of here

I upvoted since even if i don't feel like this is optimal, it is close and definitely deserves more than 41%. I suggest changing some of your laning theory as Nasus though, I would aim for closer to 300-400 farm by 20 minutes, or else you won't reach late-game nasus stage. Q farm is nice, but be sure to last hit regularly too. One Q farmed minion is only worth 2 regular last-hits gold-wise, if you Q farm one but miss another then it would be like if you last-hitted them both regularly. Also, I would finish TriForce before spamming potions :P.
