[quote=deathalo44]@ Lugignaf It won'r exactly kill you to read it at this order. I didn't notice it when I post[/quote]

[quote=Hamduden]Im with Jebus most of the way: (HoG) (Philo) [[Mercury's Treads]] [[Frozen Heart]] [[Force of Nature]] [[Trinity Force]] [[Banshee's Veil]] [[Randuin's Omen]] ^Standard Trinity-tank build with 9/0/21 - 0/21/9 - 0/9/21. I wouldn't go Guardian. I don't really like it, since tanks/Trinity-tanks will most likely die last; and you actually want people to attack you instead of your carry. Guardian = die last. You could most likely build some AP items on her too (Abyssal Scepter etc.), but I really think this is the way to go, since her ratios are so low. Flash + Ignite/Exhaust for summoner spells ofc.[/quote]

[quote=Draconis][icon=Philosopher's Stone] Philosopher's Stone [icon=Boots of Speed] Boots of Speed [icon=Glacial Shroud] Glacial Shroud [icon=Mercury's Treads] Mercury's Treads -I prefer these for the Tenacity [icon=Frozen Heart] Frozen Heart [icon=Banshee's Veil] Banshee's Veil [icon=Shurelya's Reverie] Shurelya's Reverie -Some health and pushes our CDR to 40%. [icon=Warmog's Armor] Warmog's Armor -By this point you should have 261+ Armor and 192+ MR with W so Health is where we should focus. [icon=Will of the Ancients] Will of the Ancients - I grab this mainly for the 25% spell vamp which should help you and your team stay alive. You'll have great Armor, good MR, great health, and 40% CDR with runes (Q with a 4.8s CD at 18, W will provide its buff with 100% up time). I like 9/21/0 with her for the CDR and MrP. I got 9 MR Marks, 9 Armor Seals, 3 CDR Glyphs, 6 MR Glyphs, 3 HP Quints. Exhaust (great for early ganks and your 3rd ability that can slow/stun) and Ghost/Flash (depending on preference). I played this 5 games tonight and won 5 games. She is SOOOO much fun. I also tried jungling (borrowed my amumu's build). She did ok pumping W. Not amazing though.[/quote]

[quote=MTaur]Ok, I'd just make a guide if they had her up here yet, but they don't, so here we go. I'm not set on any particular order yet. Lots of CDR runes because I didn't make any room for CDR in the items. ([[Frozen Heart]] in place of [[Frozen Mallet]] is a possibility.) 9/0/21 masteries for the same reason. Exhaust, without a doubt. Then a spell of your choice. [[Doran's Shield]] or maybe [[Heart of Gold]] to start with. [[Mercury's Treads]] (unless you want Move 3, idk) [[Abyssal Scepter]] (works with passive and just generally a tanky AP item) [[Warden's Mail]] (upgrade whenever. [[Randuin's Omen]] for even more CC insanity.) [[Frozen Mallet]] [[Sunfire Cape]] (sun knight, gotta have one) [[Malady]] (works with passive. Can be taken early to help farm) This build is for supporting magic-heavy teams. It's not as pure tank as absolutely possible, but the res bonus from Eclipse is enormous and you can cut a corner like I did. Nothing against Aegis, but I didn't have room for it. Might even take it in place of [[Sunfire Cape]], but not having [[Sunfire Cape]] on [[Leona]] just feels wrong in the same way that taking [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] on [[Brand]] feels wrong.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]but rylai's is good on brand. i'm iffy on the malady but the rest sounds good on your build.[/quote]

[/quote] I think this might work nicely - I'm going to try doing it with a Trinity instead of the WotA and then with the WotA.[/quote]

[quote=MTaur][quote=caucheka] but rylai's is good on brand. i'm iffy on the malady but the rest sounds good on your build. [/quote] I know, I tested it once, and he's crazy dependent on skill shots and it helps him out. But there's something perverse about freezing things every time you set them on fire. Not that it would stop me from using it, but you know. I actually don't know if [[Sunfire Cape]] is worth it... it just feels right aesthetically. She could probably use CDR more than that, really... [[Nashor's Tooth]] is an option, even. About [[Malady]], I would think it would be pretty easy to get two stacks at the very least with EQ. Between [[Frozen Mallet]], [[Exhaust]], and [[Solar Flare]], it shouldn't be that hard to get one or two more in when you want to. Not worth it for the passive alone, but if there's respectable magic damage on your team, that's 44 MR reduction total...[/quote]

[quote=valk 32]I feel that you invested too much in resistances, not enough in hp, because take note she has a fairly large resistance buff in her sheild[/quote]
