Hi folks,
I'm new to the game, and have been tinkering around with Nunu for some games now (Yeti FTW^^).
As I have not reached lvl 30 yet, my masteries go usually 9/13/0, Offens for AP, CD reduction and MP, Defense for Tankyness.
Runes are:
2 G. Quints of Potency for early game killpower
7 G. Marks of Insight for late game killpower
7 G. Seals of Resilience for early game survival
6 G. Glyphs of Shielding for late game survival
Items are
Mercury Treads - mostly for the Tenacity 35
Frozen Heart - Tons of Armor, CD reduction, Mana, and some passive CC. Sounds nice
Abyssal Scepter - AP, high MR, and some MP in the form of an aura that works well with Nunu's Ultimate.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter - AP, Health, and my slows are now pretty deadly (IF they stack. I hope they do :P)
... and then I don't know what to build. Rabadon's Death Cap and perhaps some item that give me additional CC?
Suggestions? Comments? Flames? Hate?
Slows generally dont stack... this is becuase if they did it would eventually be 100% slow which would effectively be a stun

Slows do stack, but not well. When multiple slows are applied to a target, the largest slow gets applied 100%, and all other slows get applied at around 30% effectiveness. So building Rylai's on Nunu is a bit of a waste, since only his snowball could proc the slow effectively and it already has a stronger slow. I'd suggest picking up an early
Rod of Ages instead, which is slightly cheaper and ends up providing more HP, plus some nice mana and sustain.
Anyway, Cyniker, are you playing Nunu mid or top or jungle, as a damage dealer-ish guy, or bottom as a support? For mid, you'll want to take HP and MR items before armor, since usually AP carries go mid. For top and jungle, you might want to consider building some GP10 items to supplement your gold income, though this is more necessary for jungling than for top lane. For support, you really should be building GP10 items, both for gold income and because their upgrades are great on supports. Keep in mind that I'm speaking from a level 30 perspective, though; things are different when you're still leveling.
