Your tank build is actually very much in the direction that I've started taking my Shyvana. It has helped me look at my build differently, too.

A question: Why do you have a point in Lethality (critical strike damage) when you don't have any items to give critical strike (other than the possible 18% chance from Atma's)? I've put that point into doing additional tower damage, in case we need to back door or something similar.

Good question, makes me wanna rethink hole masteries section and i think you are right, I usually have that point there because i usually take some small crit, either trinity or atmas and stuff like that, but in a hole tanky dps build with no crit, Lethality is a waste of masteries :P

I don't think you need to rethink the entire mastery tree; I use the same mastery tree for tanky DPS Shyv, with the only exception being Lethality. I put mine into tower damage since nothing else would help much at all, except maybe cooldown, and that extra tower damage is a lot and can help significantly, especially compared to something like +0.5% damage. Thank you for considering, and for the build! It really has helped me understand tanky Shyv better. :)

Gotta say, I liked this guide much more than the current top voted Shyv guide. Lots of options and nice sorting, nice job.

Thank you very much, people like you really make my day much better, this guide used to be number one with 91% but then it started getting troll-voted and went down to 82% and now its slowly going up again

Thank you for your support and kindness :)

I prefer this guide over the most rated one just coz of that nice jungle guide with attack damage instead of utility and resistance.
Just a question tho ... Why attack damage instead of armour pen ?

If you are talking about items build, I did added armor pen items just like Black Cleaver and Youmus Ghostblade, i dont really use this much unless theres any enemy stacking lots of armour, if there is i usually take Black Cleaver to counter him, combined with Shyvana´s E Flame Breath, you get a nice ammounr of armour reduced from him, plus i like the atack speed The Black Cleaver gives because it fits perfectly with Madreds Bloodrazour, anyways thats just my style of playing shyvana, I added all possible items for her from my point of view so YOU can create your own play style with Shyvana. Theres people that go full dps and people that go VERY tanky its up to you to see wich role fits you most :)
