seriously. reporting all you guys who just made accounts and commented like once.
You only need ONE proc for a burst Mage. Any more and you would be doing SUSTAINED dps. AP
Also, what about
MORE THAN ONE PROC IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. What are you going to use it on? A minion?
MajorLoL, I recommend you archive this and start over. It got trolled too many times, despite how good it is. Some people just don't learn.
How is
@sn0wwarrior I played against one
It's a terrible item because his cooldowns are too long to really utilize it. You'll get one, maybe two uses out of it before you're dead. I'd much rather have something like Abyssal Scepter which still gives a huge chunk of AP, a magic pen aura debuff, and a ton of MR. Magic pen will give you more consistent dps, as well as additional dps for the rest of your team which is far more useful on someone who can't spam abilities.

p.s.
I read it, as well as the other recommended items, etc. However, your core build items don't have any and I have issue with that. Lichbane is still a terrible item on him, and he's still a terrible solo laner. I usually jungle and solo Nauts are really easy to gank. Come in from behind, and hit them. Stay in from of him so he can't escape with Dredge Line. Rinse and repeat. Against any competent player solo Naut is easy to counter, and I still stand by the healing from WotA isn't enough to provide any real sustain on him.
Explaining nothing to you? I fleshed out all my issues with this build. I'm sure you can improve upon it, but as it is -1.
First, you've got no CDR on him at all, and his cooldowns are horrible. Secondly, while WotA is a tempting item, what with 80AP and an Aura Spellvamp, it doesn't work well on Nautilus because all of his abilities are AoE besides Dredge Line. Third, Lichbane isn't worth the gold because even with CDR he doesn't have short enough cooldowns to utilize the Sheen proc it gives. Finally, because he is fairly gold dependent to have any real damage output he has to solo lane. Problem with that is anyone who has any map awareness at all isn't going to be caught up in his abilities. To really initiate he has to land that dredge line and any minion can block that for you. He really shines in lane with another champ, but if you start taking CS from them you're taking gold away from someone who can play the damage role better anyway.
I'll report them too once I get home xD
I will report them too it is so stupid.
