You have no life-steal... OK, I know Renekton is an ability based fighter(like Garen and Riven), not an auto-attacker, but late-game that is just not gonna cut it anymore. Even with a butt load of AD, Cull the Meek and Ruthless Predator are just not going to be as effective, and let's face it, if they're on cool-down, you are extremely screwed.

That is why, just like with Garen and Riven you have to morph him into and improvised auto-attacker. For that purpose, Wit's End is a very good step in the right direction(otherwise why not just get Hexdrinker?), but it's not enough. A The Bloodthirster is going to do so much more for you than The Brutalizer(it's good for early-game, but turning it into Youmuu's Ghostblade is not worth it...AT ALL).

Also, not enough MR for an off-tank, forget the freaking CDR and get some Mercury's Treads. The cool-down times aren't that big and the tenacity is much more important. Using Mercs is what allows you to go with Wit's End and not Banshee's Veil or Force of Nature. Also, you have a stun and a double dash, don't build Phage into Frozen Mallet, use Trinity Force instead, for guys with instant abilities that auto-attack afterwards it's absolutely awesome. To compensate for the health you won't gain, just use Warmog's Armor instead of Sunfire Cape, absolutely godlike survivability. You have Atma's, so you don't actually need more armor.

Hey guys, i have been trying out a new build for rene and it works wonders. Not really gonna make a guide because im not experienced enough as rene, but tell me what you think of my item build. Cd recution boots, warmong, impaler, wit's end, madred's blood razors and black cleawer. It makes your w insanely powerfull while giving you some extra armor and magic ressistance. If you dont agree, please explain.

Keep in mind, you use this build for an off tank rene.

@razoredge993: Get Mercury's Treads instead of Ionian Boots of Lucidity. With this much attack speed, you can auto-attack very well with Renekton, so you won't be so skill-dependent. You say this is an off-tank build, so Wit's End is not enough of a MR resistance item all by itself. It doesn't compare to Banshee's Veil or Force of Nature, but coupled with Mercury's Treads it works very well. Also, you might wnat to trade The Black Cleaver for The Bloodthirster. If Renekton won't be skill dependent and start auto-attacking people, might as well have some life-steal to increase his survivability. This is just my opinion. If your build works well, keep using it.

His passive is Reign of Anger (50% more fury below 50% health), not Fury system.

Doubt Evil's going to be updating this anytime soon :P

And there is no specific build you want to follow every game.
Wit's End, TBC, and Madred's work on him not because you're trying to morph him into an AA-er. It's because you can easily apply Wit's procs, TBC procs, and Madreds damages with his W easily.

@RosePhoenix: IMO, no ability based AD off-tank( Riven, Garen, Wukong, Lee Sin, Pantheon, Skarner, Talon, and of course, Renekton) can play like this towards the end of the game. Except maybe Talon, they ALL fall off drastically in damage as the game progresses even if instead of taking them off-tank, you build them full AD. Plus, being CD dependent they will get crushed by the auto-attackers, even if you cap out the CDR to 40%. The only way you can truly make them powerful late-game is to teach them to auto-attack, give then ATS and life-steal, not just AD. It's rather hard to do, since you also have to give them armor, MR and health, but I have found working recipes for all the ones that I own( Garen, Renekton, Riven).

I mean just think about it, it'll help you get your Fury up faster and it'll also give you damage when your abilities are on cool-down. You will definitely be a bigger threat as Renekton if you auto-attack. Playing these champions as AD casters doesn't work anymore...I MEAN IT. I mean think of it like this, guys like Irelia, Olaf, Shyvana, Poppy, Jarvan IV, Trundle, don't have natural attack speeds too high either and yet you have to make them auto-attack cause they don't have OP damage spells like the others. This shouldn't be an impediment, in fact if they can auto-attack and have these wonderful spells, than that means they're actually in advantage. Bottom line is: if you're purely AD based, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be a good auto-attacker.
