Manamune on Nasus?

Asked by cheesecakejedi on January 30, 2013

Considering I've seen both Frozen heart and Iceborn gauntlet on builds in ranked, both which provide plenty of extra mana, and Nasus's Q ability has a very low cooldown, allowing it to proc quite often, it seems like a perfect fit, but I've seen seen no one grabbing it. Also, taking into consideration his ult, if you can get it to a Muramasa, activating both would be crazy.

He has no particularly effective way of proccing it. I wouldn't spend 2100 gold on essentially a glass AD item. You should have plenty of damage from your abilities, and . You might as well build tankier and peel for your AD instead of trying to be a damage carry yourself.

It does good damage and he can always use the extra mana. However, Nasus has no real AD scaling abilities and relies on his Q-farm for damage. He also has no gap closer or burst so he needs tankiness to survive the middle of team fights. There are worst items for him, but Manamune isn't a good one either.

there isn't any significant problem with getting it, it's just that can basically passively generate damage so the general plan is to make him unkillable so he can just beef his way through everything. I'm not sure but i think if you feel your are not doing enough damage a BC or an LW might be better

But there is a problem here - u have lesser movement speed with + than with but u can increase it by little amount through buying and some move speed items.

And i forgot about that imba proc from which will give you ~120 bonus magic damage from AA or single damaging spell like which will deal 110 + ~170-200 AD + ~150 from stacking Q + ~100 dmg from + ~150 dmg from proc... Calculate.
