The Builds
The Madred's Bloodrazor build has the same runes and mastery's because its more of a situational build, if your team needs a Madred's Bloodrazor to kill high defence / health targets.
The way of the Trinity Force:
This build is consentrated around the power of team fights, the ability to survive and still do a fair amount of damage. In my personal opinion this is the best build for Shaco, when where team composition is not tank heavy.
(Example: Tank - Support - AD Carry - AP Caster - Jungler)
Pros:
1. Great survivability
2. Fair amount of damage
3. Doesn't rely on kills
4. Cooldown reduction
5. Free ward every 3 minutes
6. Can do his job very well in teamfights
7. Early game damage is fenominal
8. No mana problems
9. Cheep items / versatile
Cons:
1. Not as much damage as other builds
2. Does not have Madred's Bloodrazor
3. Missing some attack speed
The way of the Madred's Bloodrazor:
All about the percentage damage and life steal, the anti tank build. Plus the defence items to survive. In my opinion this build is best when you are facing a tank heavy team.
(Example: Tank - Off Tank - Off Tank - Support - AD Carry)
Pros:
1. Great at killing high health / armor targets
2. Good life steal
3. Ok Survivability
4. Good attack speed
5. 1v1 its a great build
6. Terifik armor pen
Cons:
1. Missing some survivability
2. Expensive items
3. Does not have the free ward from Wriggle's
4. Needs a good start and items are not centered around that
5. A bit tricky in teamfights
6. Very dependent on red buff for the slow
7. Does not have cooldown reduction
8. Not very versatile
Items
Core items, the bare essentials, bread and butter. Reason why Brutalizer is a part of the core, is because of its early game damage buff. Mercury's Treads are used for magic resistence and reduced crowd control duration. Where is not one match I run without Merc's. Why ? Well shaco's ability to gank, escape, duke and all the rest of his tricks and useless if you are slowed, stunned, snared and all the rest of the bad stuff. Wriggle's Lantern is explained in a different segment.
How to build your core:
1. Madred's Razors
2. Boots of Speed
3. Wriggle's Lantern
4. Mercury's Treads
5. The Brutalizer
Why Trinity Force? Ill make another own segment just for this, please bear with me a little longer. Ghostblade is where to enhance the stats from Trinity Force, crit, run speed, attack speed, attack damage, cooldownreduction. Also gives armorpen which goes nicely with runes and masteries. Brutalizer is bought before Trinity Force because of the early attack damage, armorpen and cooldown reduction boost.
How to build your Trinity Force:
1. Optimal way is to start off with Zeal
2. Second item would be Sheen
3. Last but not least Phage
But if you are having some trouble with nuke damage or just don't feel as safe as you should like to, buy Phage first.
Defence is the backbone to your success. I find Banshee's Vail and Guardian Angle to be the most effective items, great passives, all around good stats combined and gives your clone a sense of not being a clone. Main key thing to note while building items in game is, do i need defence instead of damage ? Don't hesitate to buy defence items after core build. "Better doing less damage, then no damage"
How to build your Banshee's veil:
1. Start off with a Ruby Crystal
2. After that crack open a Negatron Cloak
3. Then finish off Banshee's Veil
How to build your Guardian Angel:
1. Fist buy your Chain Vest
2. Next finish the Guardian Angel

Core items for the madred's Bloodrazor build. Maxamizing anti minion power and life steal for keeping that health bar full. The main reasons for having the Emblem if Valour is to simulate, the life steal of Wriggle's Lantern and sustain yourself through the jungle.
How to build your core:
1. Madred's Razors
2. Boots of Speed
3. Emblem of Valour
4. Mercury's Treads
Madred's Bloodrazor is one of whose items shaco is well known for, more of a traditional build. Reason to why this item is sow good is because of the percentage damage it dose. Think of it as a Chogath with 5000 health, it still only takes around 25 hits to kill him. Not included magic resistance and armor. The Stark's Fervor is a part of my build because of the life steal and attack speed. More damage to Madred's and life steal sow you can live to hit those 25 hits. The Black Cleaver is for taking down the over targets, like AP caster, AD carry and support. Also works well versus tanks and has more attack speed.
How to build your Madred's Bloodrazor:
1. Madred's Razors is part of your core
2. After your core buy a Recurve Bow
3. Third but not last finish
How to build your Stark's Fervor:
1. Emblem of Valour should all ready be yours
2. Same as Madred's Bloodrazor start with Recurve Bow
3. Then buy your Stark's Fervor
How to build your The Black Cleaver:
1. Always try and start with B. F. Sword
2. When that's done finish The Black Cleaver
