How about trying lifesteal runes instead of armor pen ones? |

Nice guide...always good to see an in-depth guide that already does things pretty similar to my playstyle. I do generally get an early
If I'm reviewing your guide, it'd be nice to return the favor.

It's cheap enough that it doesn't slow you down much, and it really complements those armor pen runes.I tried rushing some early dmg items on Xin, and if I get some really nice early kills... I usually do grab a Brutalizer or an Avarice Blade to keep the early edge. But since I'm a huge fan of Trinity on Xin... I really find going for something like Brutalizer just cripples my tankiness too much. Because Trinity + Brutalizer... and then starting to become tanky is just too late if I dont get fed really hard. Most of the time I just try to stay competitive in dmg via Trinity... but Im already dropping Trinity sometimes to rush Mallet + Atmas... cuz I would simply die to fast otherwise. nic732 wrote:

Definitely don't get life steal runes. After level 3 or so he can maintain life in the jungle at pretty much any health level, unless he's going after dragon or baron. You really rarely hear "executed!" when xin's jungling.

With trundle most guide use a similar concept. If you get fed go for a trinity. Normal game go for froze. Mallet and then you choose: aegis, atmas, or tank items with one damage item at some point. Since frozen mallet doesnt offer the same damage trinity does. But it does give you a very nice slow for ganking. |

Nice Guide for Xin.... But I feel he's useless, really useless.... All things he does, Irelia/Nasus/Nocturne/Renekton, basically ANY offtank with a dashe, can do it better... Also his damage with offtank build isn't that great... Might aswel build him glasscannon. |
