I was wondering why you take the inspiration mastery, as it seems that shaco is able to keep up with his adc's levels

I can confirm that this build works. I'm usually a support main myself, but I've been playing ADC recently and I got the privilege to play with the author of this guide and I can say that this Shaco build has it's quirks, but is really good.

10/10.

Original build, except that I have my doubts about Will of the Ancients and Mejai's Soulstealer. Not to mention Shaco as support might not be really useful in Ranked play.

I play Support AP Shaco a lot but in Normal games. I believe it would only work in Ranked ones if your team has good initiators and the other team no assassins, since you don't have good instant peeling skills save for maybe if you take Exhaust.

Really fun to play though.

Hey man, good guide, I'm a Gold Shaco main who plays a lot of support and just put up an AP Shaco guide of my own. Go Check it out.

I'm wondering why you don't have DFG in your build, with it's 10% cdr and insane active damage it can really help you powerspike through the midgame. I'm sure you've tried it I'm just curious as to why you decide against it. :)

I really like this guide, however I think Tear of the Goddess is a good mana item, as it gives the survivability/mana/damage you need for the late game and to keep your stats. Great job!
