Masteries:Yea,I really changed my style of gameplay and I'm not using this build anymore.I do use now 21/9/0.
Yeah,about other items,it was before.I played different
Masteries: I also dislike the masteries: 9/21/0 on an extremely aggressive toplaner? 21/9/0 is the way to go in my eyes there.
Skills: NOWHERE mentioned how to maximize her damage.
Ou, sorry, I did not see this at first, because it was so small, even though it is the KEY to deal damage with her, but you described it wrong.
To maximize the damage, you have to cast 3 times a spell to get maximum stacks on
Items: You will lack damage midgame when your build aims for Warmog’s Armor. Even after Warmog’s Armor and Atma’s Impaler you won’t have that much damage, there are better and more effective ways to maximize the damage and her tankyness.
