How effective is an full AP shen?

IS it better to build AP and tankiness or just full tankiness?

Why does he have taunts about killing people when he is generally treated as a tank and not getting kills.

And why does his yellow jacket skin, shows him using wooden swords (The name is escaping me.. the kind they use in those little sword fighting tournaments stuff) But he pulls out a normal metal sword when he attacks, while holding onto the wooden handle.

And why does he think he is so fast, when he is actually slow.

Effective damage wise, AP Shen is lackluster. Defending though. Big difference. 1.5 Ratio on his ult is good.

If you can afford it, both.

To catch is to kill. To kill is enough.

Kendo swords are a powerful thing. Misdirection, even more so.

He is a ninja you know. Not even light can catch them.

Hmm I like that build Nameless, (And thank you for answering as well Lugig :o) I think I'll take Warmogs after Rylais and get rid of the sunfire... But that's just my personal preferences speaking there...

Building health for his passive is not really worth it IMO.
With Rylai's, you have a slow... on one skill. This is just my opinion though.

You could easily replace the warmog's with another item, that's just an easy way to get tanky xD

The Rylai's could be replaced with a Zhonya's Hourglass also.

Rylai's works towards his passive, a little extra damage/slow (And a little extra on the sheild) I wouldn't be stacking hp just for his passive lol. ( I kinda need it to tank :o)

I also like Force of Nature when I need to be more tanky than an Abyssal Scepter can make me, but again, these are more about personal preference than anything else.

No HP at all? ( I mean, I know resistances are an important part butttt... no hp at all?) Wouldn't you still die relatively fast that way?
