Oh, I've known of other people who've created multiple guides for the same champion. Any opinions if I should split this up? There does seem to be an excess of information and various builds. I never intended to have so much quantity, but the more I wrote, the more I realized just how much was missing.

Note: I did accidentally delete an earlier comment on page 1. I'm not entirely sure what was on it, but it was in response to and possibly the "Meister" / "Maister" controversy.

If you are reading this guide, please note that the changes to 3.8 have more or less negated most of the builds I have presented. Until such a day I can find an effective solution, it will remain unfinished. no longer offers bonus damage per swing. Even with the changes to still won't have enough output in order to make it viable. I will most likely present an alternative solution focusing on the Gluttonous Warwick portion.

Then I'm confused as where your problem is as I've already corrected the misspelling. Most guides on mobafire have misspelled words; all I can do is fix them when either I see them or others point them out to me. Though I do admit the title is somewhat more than any mere word(s) within a guide.

In any case, you're entitled to your own opinion. I wrote this because I enjoy writing guides, and no matter how many negative votes I get, I still consider this one of the more thorough guides on the site and will continue improving and updating it as need be. Right now I'm currently working on a lane matchup section, which is proving rather annoying because I hardly ever play top. (Also well aware of your III Commandment).

I won't get into detail for reasoning/tips (takes too much space), but if anyone has any suggestions beyond what I already have, feel free to post/comment on it, as much of my current information may be outdated.

Au contraire. *taps my own username* 'meister' is common enough, 'maister' is not, and furthermore is old English so there we go.

In any case, you spelt maister wrongly. So, -1.

Not exactly sure what this was about, both are correct spellings in English. It is not an English word per-say. And as far as I know, not common enough for a single spelling to be set.

Nothing mana-related until is a very reasonable objection. is extremely mana reliant and even with the extra 300-400 mana, can still OOM very easily. This goes well with the vs , as the ring offers quite a bit of mana regen if you're able to farm. I rarely play top, but I find when I do it's best to not abuse . No matter what you do, you'll be weak in the beginning. I prefer to not push my luck until I have enough farm to actually kill a champion.

The amount of physical damage does is completely dependent on how you build him; he'll do hardly any with this build. (Q), his only damage ability, is magic, and + + all do magic damage, far surpassing anything physical for his AA and .

You recommend (builds into ) rather than (, , or ). This build focuses more on AP, severely diminishing the value of , which would be more viable on a typical bruiser-jungle build. The main reason I chose is for 500 health and , though 10% CDR is helpful as well.

Defensively, yes you get more defensive later rather than earlier, but gives 25 MR + up to 20 MR whenever is attacking. Anyways, both the top and junger builds have and as well as and respectively. That's 3 defensive items; not exactly sure what you mean by only 1.

As far as , you'll note I don't put it into any of the "example builds." Nonetheless, AP stacks with , IAS stacks with , , and , and CDR stacks with 3 of 's 4 abilities. Yes, it's not optimal because it's 100% offensive, but then that's why it's under "offensive options."

Oh boy, no mana ultill Glacial for warwick top? Are you kidding me? You should get a mana item or you can't sustain on top, specially versus a ranged char.
Then further "Nashor's Tooth" is no viable offensive item for WW, his Q scales horribly with his ability power, you are way better off getting getting BOTRK, Malady, Wit's end or Frozen Mallet for WW. Rod of ages and Abyssal are also examples of kinda horrible items on him...

Starting dorans on ww on top is just silly, since he got life steal the 5 life steal per hit is useless, 80 health, okay but you can just sustain with life steal. I would rather go Doran's ring for extra early game dmg and mana regen.

Sor shoes? You do like 50% physical dmg, only your Q and your Malady/Wit's end use this, rather go for Merc's for tenacity (chance jungle item to razor).

Also I think with 1 def. jungle item and frozen heart you're not quite as tanky vs magic, but whatever
