Your overall doesn't do damage, + you don't have enough health to put Atma's Impaler
Item's build is wrong change it and I will change my vote.
I'm sorry, so far it is not a Tank or a DPS
Atma's Impaler is for more than the damage, it's for the armor as well. At the end of your build, it will still give you 50+ AD, which is still fairly good for a tanky DPS. I do see your point, though, and acknowledge that maybe taking it isn't optimal for the amount of health you end up having, but it still syngerizes very well with Darius's ability to tank and DPS at the same time.
bad build
At least giving me a few tips as to why it's a bad build would help. It's not set in stone, and the guide itself is more for what its name implies: a GUIDE. The build isn't to be followed like a bible; at the very least, the guide itself should help you make one of your own.
tis is not a tenk or a demege? WTF is tath?
A tanky DPS is neither specifically a tank nor specifically a DPS. It focuses on building survivability, but not to an extent to sacrifice a lot of damage. Darius just so happens to be able to do that very effectively, which is what this build's aiming for.
Pretty useless then others... trinity force is a bad choice for Darius...
Trinity Force isn't the best item for Darius, but it basically gives him a bit of everything that helps him (with the exception of the small amount of AP). It's an all-around choice for beginners (whom this guide is aimed at), but I can see why it could be suboptimal. I'd be willing to take suggestions for alternatives.
I use 9/21/0 for masteries, which I assume will be included in the alternate mastery pages.
Good job sir.
Focusing on defensive masteries aren't a bad choice at all, and yeah, that's what I planning on including in alternate masteries. Defensive masteries just focus more on the tanky side of Tanky DPS, rather than the dps side.
there are two reasons why i upvote this:
1. I really like the guide and think that trinity is an often overlooked option for Darius because darius benefits heavily from every stat it gives to you apart from the AP. The movement speed also benefits darius heavily because he is somewhat slow. You can discuss about the guardian angel but in late game it can become quite handy especially when you are doing well and get focused.
2. You got heavily trollvoted and the last one really tops it of (i got trollvoted by that b*tch too) and i think that authors should get the rating they deserve. as this is a good guide i feel like you deserve the +1
Thanks, you basically hit on every reason why I got Trinity Force over other items. I appreciate the support.
Pretty awesome guide, looks nice too. :D
Thanks, that was the goal! :D
I'll be reassessing item choices and mastery pages within the coming week, and I'd appreciate any more feedback.
