Thanks for the tips. I do think an AD build is ok but like i said it dosen't take place for any tank. I know i need to pretty it up I just didn't have the time at the start. I will fix the item order also (I kinda just put them on). I will take your tips into consideration. I soon should start to fix up some of what has been said. THanks to those who left constructive comments though.

A lot of what has been said is valid. If you are trying to pretty your guide up, look at jhoijhoi's guide; it's made for that specific purpose.

Otherwise...
-attack speed boots seem like a bad choice. Because he is slow and kited as well as he is, consider Boots of Swiftness, or tenacity boots just so a slow/stun/fear doesn't completely remove you from the fight.

- Last Whisper should almost always be a situational item; If they haven't build armor and only have ~50 armor or so, spending 2k to kill 25 armor can be done much easier.

-Trinity should almost always be rushed. Q proc + health + speed. The last bit is arguably the most important. I would advise some kind of Atmogs variation as well.

That's my two cents, hope it helps.

Sheen is great because it adds damage based on your total AD, not bonus. And anyway, it's just a cheap way of making your Q and your E hit harder while boosting your mana pool. And btw, by the time you're level 3, Sheen adds over 60 damage when it procs. Hmmm, BFS for 1.2K, plus AP, plus mana, plus it builds into Trinity Force. The only reason to buy BFS over Sheen is if you intend on rushing something that uses BFS, like Infinity Edge.



Have you ever seen the stats on Wither? It is very powerful CC with insane duration, and it makes Nasus one of the best chasers and gank-buddies (the person in-lane on a gank) in the game. Melee isn't too much of a problem, since Nasus has one of the best minion-farming spells in the game in his E, Spirit Fire, as well as a very high passive lifesteal. He can lifesteal harassment, he has powerful zoning, good chase, and high burst damage. Oh yeah, and he snowballs.

Sheesh, y'all. Some of you make constructive comments, like CombatJack1's comment on Last Whisper, but don't just say that AD Nasus is unviable. There's always merit in trying or advocating a new way of playing a champion, and if the person doesn't seem to build it like you would, make suggestions.

To Stormtrooper27, I have some advice.

1. Make your guide a little prettier, even just a little bbcode. A lack of bbcode makes people discredit you on spec

2. I agree with CJ1, Last Whisper is a late-game item

3. I would substitute out Black Cleaver for some survivability. Black Cleaver is best on attack speed builds which can get some heavy benefit from its proc-effect. You just don't have enough AS to make it worthwhile.

4. You might want to put a Manamune into your early build. It solves your mana problems early, it synergizes amazingly with your Q-spam snowballing, and it will easily add enough AD to make it worth its cost. Manamune on Nasus could easily reach 600 bonus mana, which would give you a total of over 2K in your pool. 100 AD for ~2K gold, yes please.

I have to agree with the previous comment, AD Nasus is unfortunately not viable because of his inherent limitations (melee, easily kited, etc.) and you will be absolutely destroyed in teamfights if anyone chose to focus you. The deal with nasus is that you farm well with SS so that it replaces the need for DPS, then you build tanky and CDR so you can throw out your Qs as rapidly as possible, it really is the optimal strategy for him. Also with as much flat armour pen as you have, Last Whisper should be a later game item only when the enemies begin building into armour, you need to establish a good base of AD first.

My recommendation is to read a few other nasus guides and see how they build him, then try out your build in ranked or more competitive play and you'll see the limitations of this glass cannon melee champion.

An interesting guide, but in my opinion you miss the very essence of Nasus. He dont need alot of AD siphoning strike takes care of that. you should rather build him tanky and maybe with a atmas impaler if extra damage needed

Well I suppose it makes sense if you're just going for a glass cannon nasus (not saying that's a good idea mind you), but it is kind of his main deal damage wise.

why Sheen first...you don't even have any attack damage yet. same problem with rushing Trinity Force on off-tank solo top nasus.
