I appreciate all feedback, but I'd prefer if all criticism is constructive, and not harsh. If you do decide to rate down on my guide please tell me Why you did, so I can improve my guide. Do not judge item, runes, mastery, or skill sequences until reading the chapter on it because pictures, and icons do not give enough information on why I picked that particular build.

Great guide! Few things. Your runes you stated first is not the same as the runes you stated in the runes chapter. After the boxes nerf, AD shaco is a great idea. Take in these points. Your skill sequence.. You're an AD  Shaco, wouldn't you want to take priority of your decieve for your ganks?You stated that you want  Ghost because your decieve has a long cooldown.. then don't you want some cooldown reduction earlier on? Your ghost also has a long cooldown. When I used to play shaco (I used to love shaco before the boxes nerf) I used to take lots of CDR. I think that CDR on shaco is very useful, as it would increase reliability for your decieve, jack in the boxes,  Two-Shiv Poison and ofcourse your hallucination.Decieve=higher reliability JITB=Quicker planting, would be useful since the time-span for JITB has been decreased a lot (more useful than before) Shiv=Key ranged attack. Also has slow, therefore very useful during chases, would be useful if able to slow enemy through-out the chase. Would also deal lots of dmg. Ult=You want your ult a.s.a.p. It is very useful. To be used as bait (alt+click) especially turret attacks when I really want a kill :P Sorry for the brief ideas, but anyways I think it's a good guide. I like how you use ghost.. but since it also has a fairly long cooldown why not try getting some CDR? my idea, if you don't agree it's your choice =P Anyways gl! +1 from me. Many common ideas with me! The thing you said about the runes being different is to be fixed immediately.Alright, the reason you max Two-Shiv Poison over  Deceive is because Deceive only improves the damage output when leveled up; whereas, Two-Shiv Poison when leveled up improves the passive effect of slowing an enemy when attacked, gives an increased chance of affected minions to miss, and improves the active ranged slow. So, overall I would consider that much better than maxing out Deceive. Now as for the CDR question, alright in the typical team fight as Shaco like I state many times you typically decieve through the opposing front line and assassinate the AD Ranged Carry. Typically, if you kill the AD Ranged the teamfight is won, but if you are to be chased you have many escape tools other than ghost that can be used to stall for your Deceive cooldown. The CDR early is not needed because a structured team fight doesn't occur for a while, and by the time one occurs you should have your  The Brutalizer. Therefore, in my opinion CDR early game is not needed. The things brought up about being able to chase down enemies with lower CDR, is not very viable because you have a  Phage, you have a passive slow, and Ghost. The thing brought up about  Hallucinate baiting works at some levels, but usually will only work once on a team. The clone only lasts 18 seconds so if used improperly you lose practically half of your damage in a team fight. Thank you for the information on the runes, I was looking at it earlier and wondering did I really pick those.--Plucin Penguin

Good guide, but the only thing I see wrong is  Wit's End is way too late. That item's alot more powerful early-mid game, so getting it late is a little counter productive.
Thanks to Rys Aberdeen, Jhoijhoi, The_Nameless_Bard, Arcana3, and Miss Maw for the sigs!
 Remember to +Rep me if I helped you out! |

It should be bought earlier but it is all depending on the ap carries on the other team how soon or how late it is bought. Thank you! for bringing this up I will add it to the Items Chapter of my guide to make it more clear.
