A few questions on items for Renekton

[quote=Cooookiez]Renekton is one of those champions where I just cant figure out the items for. Here is my item build : Dorans Shield Ionian Boots of Lucidity Spirit Visage The Brutalizer Black Cleaver Blood Thirster With those items, he has damage output but not a whole lot. I could get snowball items, but I have a issue when ever I pick one up (my head gets too big if I get a lot of stacks and end up losing them all). Cooldown reduction and armor penetration are definitely a must, but I dont think he needs all the cdr that I gave him in that particular build. I just want a little insight on how you would build him. Thanks.[/quote]

[quote=GeneralMat]Yeah im having the same troubles. Theres too many stats i want to buy for. i'm Currently using: Boots of Lucidity Warmogs Frozen mallet Spirit visage Blood thirster then either another BT or BC. But this means a massive cost so have to farm minions real hard.[/quote]

[quote=Elydarine]This is what I have been using Boots of lucidity Trinity force Blood thirster Phantom Dancer Starks IE Its high dmg output but low survivablity[/quote]

[quote=Desseus]I've been going for Doren's Shield (to start off with 1 health potion) Boots of Lucidity Frozen mallet Black Cleaver Blood thirster Infinity Edge Defensive item (drop Doren's Shield for this) the defensive item can vary on the game really I usually go for Guardian Angel which gives me 142 armor and 102 magic resist (including runes also) that in combination with frozen mallet is usually enough for me since I'm then on about 2602 health, around 350 Attack Damage as well. also the defensive item can be brought early if its needed usually forth item if that is the case. also if the team is heavy AD themselves I might get a Randuin's omen the extra cooldown reduction never hurts and the health on top of frozen mallet will be more than enough for him. I'm still testing this but felt like giving my opinion if it helped anyone :P.[/quote]

[quote=Cooookiez]Yeah I figured I would post this so other people can reflect off of each other and work out a solid build. One thing about him though is that he is one hell of a harass early game.[/quote]

[quote=Atheb]I had the best game with dorans shield boots of lucidity ghostblade frozen mallet sunfire cape guardian angel currently asking myself if heavier on the AD would be worth it but i dont know... maybe only use brutalizer instead of ghostblade or build ghost last but needs more testing[/quote]

[quote=Madmack]Maxing out, or getting very close to maxing out your cooldown reduction will make a huge difference for your damage output.[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]I tested him out a bitsy. Skill/item setup can always be found on my ideas vol. 2. I find him quite effective for AD stacking. 3 skills with low cd that have nice AD scaling? I go boots of lucidity - for early game CDR (the skills are a bit high cd before lvled) Brutallizer Vamp scepter for jungling in mid game. BF Yoyo Scepter BF 2x Thirster upgreade Defensive item - Mallet Defensive item - Omen.[/quote]

[quote=SatansFate]Currently, he's best played as Offtank, since they nerfed his Q into the ground. 'Since his Q now only heals 10%, instead of 100%, Spirit Visage is pretty useless now. I usually go. Boots of Lucidity Brutaliser Sunfire Cape Yoyo Frozen Mallet Madred's Bloodrazor[/quote]

[quote=Valester]I've been experimenting with him a bit lately and I've found that there's a lot that works with Ren. I played a game with him just last night and did very well. I opened with Vampiric Scepter and went into, Berserker Greaves Phage into Frozen Mallet BF Sword into BloodThirster BF Sword into Black Cleaver Sunfire The game ended before I could grab Item number 6, but I was debating going for either Phantom Dancer or Infinity Edge. I did what I could to stack damage with survivability. The key to Ren is being able to gather rage quickly, and attack speed really helps with that as you gain 5 rage per attack. The life steal and his Cull the Meek along with his ult and it's small CD really make him durable. With this build, I'm often called to Tank, and at the same time, I can still dish out very decent damage output. Just my 2 cents here. Hope it helps.[/quote]
