The Gunblade adds AP that improve the performance and damage output of Jack in the Box. Because Jack in the Boxes cause 1.5 sec of fear and deal damage they are great in team-fights. Gunblade also provides life steal and spell vamp which provide Shaco with sustain. Because Shaco is a hit and run champ the extra life-steal from helps him continue to be able to reenter team-fights quickly after taking wraiths to heal fully. While I agree that BOTRK is a great item on Shaco the added AP from the Gunblade makes more of a difference than you think. Before you start trashing the build at least play it once or twice. I think you'll be surprised. Any other questions?

Jack in the box has a 20% scaling. With the 65 AP you get from this build, that's 12 more damage. I'm not exactly sure about JITB, but I think it gets 5 autos off. That's an extra 60 damage, for 3400 gold. Yeah... no, lets not do that. It does however add 65 damage to your shiv, but that's nothing.

Also, as mentioned above, JITBs die too fast to make a difference. If they get 5 autos off they'll deal 60 damage more, but they'll probably accidentally get killed after 1 auto or so.

Jack in the boxes die too fast anyway to make a difference within the teamfight (damagewise). The spellvamp is also pretty wasted, you might get 100 hp back or something from an E, but that is it. BotRK is just way better for Shaco (especially AD Shaco) due to the fact that it's active is stronger and the damage on-hit effect synergises greatly with Shaco's clone.

Yeah, I agree with everything said above - this is AD Shaco with a gunblade, which isn't even necessary. I dont see what the benefit is, you don't have enough AP to make it stronger than a , and it's not exactly like the stats are better for Shaco either. (Not even sure if BOTRK is a good item on Shaco, I don't play him but I can't see there being any issues with it).
