You max Arcane Smash because it's your main disruption tool in a fight and I'm pretty sure skilling AS reduces its cooldown... if not then that whole section is void! As a tank, you need to protect your teammates and Arcane Smash has a lot more utility than Twisted Advance. Damage doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the comment :)

UPDATE: Just checked, it doesn't reduce the cooldown when you skill Arcane Smash... but it does drastically improve the slow (40% is insane). Therefore I still think it's better to max than Twisted Advance. I'd only ever max Twisted Advance if there was a Tryndamere getting early feed.. or some AD melee carry that I'd need to hold back (although Arcane Smash does a great job of holding them back if you're in a good position)

much in depth guide and gives a good idea of the math behind him. I still dont get your idea of maxing arcane smash before advance. since TA gives more damage from rank 1-3 and have a better AP ratio than AS.

only spammability is the true key essence there. and tanks should relay on teammates imo.

+1 keep up the work!

Added a section about Maokai's skills and their usage. If you fancy reading a wall of text, then give it a look!

Thanks for the comment, glad it worked out for you. I just wrote a 'What to do Vs a Bloodrazor' section but the browser messed up and I lost everything. Can't be arsed to write that all out again now.

Yeah, I think switching your Tear for a Chalice and then Thornmail for Frozen Heart is a good idea. You'll really miss the maximum mana if you don't have tear. Frozen Heart is a brilliant item for any other Maokai build.

Overall I just wouldn't pick Maokai if the enemy team has Warwick or a typical Bloodrazor user. If you're forced to play with him anyway, switch in Chalice, get Spirit Visage before Sunfire Cape and then maybe an early Negatron Cloak (later used for FoN or Banshee's Veil) just to build up a base MR. You've got your ultimate too, so Madred's really shouldn't be much of a problem.

Nice build! Tested it out with excellent results. A bit different runes and masteries but still. One thing thou you do want quite some MR to counter blood razor and deaf fire grasp so challis of harmony might not be so bad after all. I usually start with challis and ninja tabbis then warmogg and FoN. That way you have some basic armour, MR before you build health and hp/5. Without tear frozen hart becomes even nicer to...
