It's fine, I'm archiving this guide and starting over, so it'll hopefully not be troll voted to all hell like this one was. This guide used to be the top one until all the 0-post people got to it.

^what part of burst do you not understand?

You only need ONE proc for a burst Mage. Any more and you would be doing SUSTAINED dps. AP Nautilus is a BURST MAGE, not a sustained dps Mage. Do you see LeBlancs with cooldown reductions and Lich Bane? NO. Because a round of spells can easily blow up squishies, and her combo doesn't involve auto-attacks. Nautilus can utilize the auto-attack portion, and BECAUSE only one proc is needed, Lich Bane served its purpose.

Also, what about Fizz? He only uses 1 proc of Lich Bane. Does that mean t doesn't work? No, because he only needs one to kill.

MORE THAN ONE PROC IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. What are you going to use it on? A minion?

MajorLoL, I recommend you archive this and start over. It got trolled too many times, despite how good it is. Some people just don't learn.

How is Lich Bane a terrible item for him. It's AN AP BUILD, not Tanky AP, not Tank, but AP. He's a champion that has auto attack as part of his burst, so why is it a terrible item. You don't seem to realize that. And the core item build is just the two items I always take. Why do you have an issue with that? If you ever actually used Riptide in a minion wave with wota, you would see it gives a good amount of healing. You can even see it in the videos I put in the guide to show it's power.

@sn0wwarrior I played against one Karthus and he could barely do anything to me because he was too squishy to fight me. If I ever do go up against a good Karthus again I might change it. Although I'm not sure if I'll keep updating because people don't seem to understand it's an AP build and not a tank build, except for the tanky AP version. The feedback on how good the guidechanged to how bad the example build is apparently.


It's a terrible item because his cooldowns are too long to really utilize it. You'll get one, maybe two uses out of it before you're dead. I'd much rather have something like Abyssal Scepter which still gives a huge chunk of AP, a magic pen aura debuff, and a ton of MR. Magic pen will give you more consistent dps, as well as additional dps for the rest of your team which is far more useful on someone who can't spam abilities.

so hey, looks like a good guide, but know very little about exactly what to do with this guy as i have not played him yet. so I will not vote at this time. Additionally there seems to be a lot of rage with this build (both for and aganst) so im slightly confused. Either way good luck, mental +1 from me but i dont have enough knowledge to make an accurate vote at this time.

p.s. Karthus does not = free gold. maybe with your average/subpar player it might but anyone who is "good" with him can and will dominate mid lane with him. (aka anyone who actully plays ranked Karthus

@MajorLoL

I read it, as well as the other recommended items, etc. However, your core build items don't have any and I have issue with that. Lichbane is still a terrible item on him, and he's still a terrible solo laner. I usually jungle and solo Nauts are really easy to gank. Come in from behind, and hit them. Stay in from of him so he can't escape with Dredge Line. Rinse and repeat. Against any competent player solo Naut is easy to counter, and I still stand by the healing from WotA isn't enough to provide any real sustain on him.

Explaining nothing to you? I fleshed out all my issues with this build. I'm sure you can improve upon it, but as it is -1.

Ok, I RECOMMENDED CDR, for the last time. Wota is good, because you can heal off minions, and hurting many people in battle. The last thing you said is just a con of Nautilus. If you get caught by Dredge Line you'll be caught by all of his abilities. If not, then how does it have to do with my guide. It's just a con of Nautilus. I recommended GP10 items as well, so that tells me you obviously didn't read the guide. I'm tired of all these downvotes explaining nothing to me..

I've got several issues with this build..

First, you've got no CDR on him at all, and his cooldowns are horrible. Secondly, while WotA is a tempting item, what with 80AP and an Aura Spellvamp, it doesn't work well on Nautilus because all of his abilities are AoE besides Dredge Line. Third, Lichbane isn't worth the gold because even with CDR he doesn't have short enough cooldowns to utilize the Sheen proc it gives. Finally, because he is fairly gold dependent to have any real damage output he has to solo lane. Problem with that is anyone who has any map awareness at all isn't going to be caught up in his abilities. To really initiate he has to land that dredge line and any minion can block that for you. He really shines in lane with another champ, but if you start taking CS from them you're taking gold away from someone who can play the damage role better anyway.

report the people who just made accounts today, just to downvote this because they probably have their own nautilus build.

I will report them too it is so stupid.
