New Shen - Possible AP Builds/Crafting

[quote=Slizer002]Give me your ideas - I've only tried him nce and had to run a pretty standard tank build as I was jungling. But with the new scalings on everything and no cost on R - I would say that a AP tank Shen suddenly looks REALLY strong ^^ Opinions etc come with it all :D[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Revolver for early game substain. Then go rylais -> Sunfire -> Abyssal. So strong build it is not even funny...[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]never thought of sunfire, but it works, hmm.. i usually get sandals of situation rylais abyssal zhonyas deathcap situational usually situational item is a pure tank item. theres not much else that gives good defensive statss and mage stats.[/quote]

[quote=Slizer002]That seems pretty damn strong, never thought of revolver myself! :O And mixing in that Sunfire sounds pretty sick - makes it much more viable for latergame id think? I was thinking Zhonyas + Abyssal as pretty damn core too yeah. OFC Rabas for later but nowhere near a rush item ^^ How does one play AP tank shen compared to tank shen? :3 What runes etc do you use? ^^[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I use MRpen marks, health/ level seals, and AP/level glyphs with 2 MS and 1 Health quint. 9-21-0 Masteries with the exhaust mastery (since I take ghost & exhaust on Shen) build: Merc's (almost always the best choice imo) Sunfire Abyssal Scepter Rylai's Guardian Angel or Deathcap depending on the game Zhonya's[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]what sets ap tank shen apart from regular shen is that, well for starters he isn't as tanky. but his feint is actually worth it now. his q is nice damage. (the heal used to scale with ap too :( and [[stand united]]. oh god his ultimate. especially with the new 1.5 ratio. you can easily double the shields power.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995][[sunfire cape]], [[abyssal scepter]], and [[rylai's crystal scepter]] are all core on AP tank shen. Past that, it's probably best to just get pure defense - but if you can afford to get more AP/defense hybrid stats, [[zhonya's hourglass]] or [[will of the ancients]] might be good choices. [[rabadon's deathcap]] might be good if you're owning or the enemy isn't dealing enough damage to you to warrant more defense, but it's very situational.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Always. I mean always rush Rylai's. This item is GOD on shen. AP or tank. Full ap shen is gonna fail. Offtanky ap shen on the other hand... Never got passt my abyssal after i upgraded revolver. But i am thinking maybe Randuin's or banshee. With my build your ult shield will shield around 1.2k. More than enough ;).[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis][quote=PotatisFarfar] Always. I mean always rush Rylai's. This item is GOD on shen. AP or tank. [/quote] Now I think of it, it does sound REALLY strong on him. 35% slow on a low CD Q? Yes please.[/quote]

[quote=Slizer002]How the fuck do you lane AP shen? <.< He cant lane against anything ranged D: So mid is a no-go - I suppose solo top is the only place that could work?[/quote]
