#1. Summoner Spells: and are not the way to go, I know they are nice but they just arnt the best choice. If your getting into a position were you NEED to use heal then you are either A) Being to offensive overall or B) Arnt going back when you should.
Now you want clarity to spam box's, I get that. But here is what you should do instead for early game box spamming.
Get Blue. Youtube "Shaco Blue Level 1 Tutorial", its really easy and you take minimal damage. Now that you have blue you have cooldown Reduction to help spam your box's PLUS insane mana regen that will keep you up enough to spam them fast.
So replace heal and clarity with the following.
: If you want first blood
: Really useful for getting kills, especially if your spamming those boxs sneakylike in a bush and someone is stupid enough to run into it. You exhaust them so ur boxs get mroe hits on him.
: Get back to lane
: Use with your deceive for turretdives, securring kills or getting away.
#2. Ability order.
You max out your box's first, if you were AP or Hybrid that would work. But because you are ad, go twoshiv. Trust me on this. Two-Shiv is a MUCH BETTER way to kill them. Lets do some math...
Level 5 boxs with Level 1 Two-SHIV: Deceive into mid to kill someone, put ur box behind them, FEARED, Box gets 0-2 shots on them before they are gone, Two shive.... thats about 0-200 damage from boxs + 50 damage twoshiv
Level 5 twoshiv with level 1 Boxs: Deceive into mid to kill someone, put ur box behind them, FEARED, Box gets 0-2 shots on them, Two-Shiv! Thats 0-50 damage with 200-300 damage (from twoshive depending on how far u are in your build), thats 0-350 damage instead of 0-250. It makes a difference.
and for your argument "I need to spam my boxs in a bush", 5 boxs at level 5 is un needed overkill, at level 1 they will secure a kill, if they dont cause the person flashed or something, ur level 5 boxs wouldnt of made a difference.
#3. Items:
Because you want Speedy DPS, let me aid you :P
#1 Item should either be , if you NEED it :P or just
next you should go for these items.
(upgrade to phantom or Trinity Force LATER not right away)
(Upgrade from Zeal)
(If your team as any other ads other then u :P)
{If they are a slightly tankier/higher HP team)
^^ Those are your speedy DPS items, chose the ones u want.
Now for survivability. You said thorn, my anwser is NO WAY :P your items to survive should be these.
Its passive is SO GOOD with deceive its not even funny. if you die, Deceive away! <3 Plus the armor and magic resist boost is also a lifesaver :P
If there team is ap heavy or you keep getting caught in stuns. Get this. Its honestly the most OP item in the game. its the difference between
Without: Veiger 1 Shots you.
With: Veiger does half your health, and you kill him while his spells are on cd.
#4: Runes: I would get Marks: Armor Pen, Seals: HP per level/Flat HP, Glyphs: Mana regen per 5 or Magic Resist. Quints: Flat health.
I personaly like playing either DPS Lane shaco, DPS Jungle shaco or Hybrid. Hyrbid makes your two-shiv hit over 400's by level 7 wich is fun. :P I dont have a build for that, if you like you could check out my shaco build (In my signature). You dont have to do what i said, i am just trying to help :) Have fun and enjoy my favorite stealthy assasin! :P
PS. My build in my signature is out of date and is made from when I was level 27ish, its not completly how I play him now when I lane (Tho I mainly jungle) and i personaly enjoy Hybrid lane better then DPS lane. I recommend learning both and going based on how heavy ad/ap your team is. I will be updating that build soon tho :P
Runes, well marks can be armor pen or crit dmg, but flat manaregen? You really don't spam your spells that much so no need to take those, armor glyphs? Eh? Take MR / MR per lvl. Quins...... Hp/5 reg, dmg and armor? ... -1, thxbye, if you could add some color, pics etc and read some other guides how to play shaco, thanks.
