I don't see the issue with BoRK. It gives you identical attack speed to Wit's End while also giving you that passive which is helpful for closing a gap when Shadow Dash is on cool down. I don't know if it's a personal problem but I find split pushing with Sunfire Aegis alone to be rather slow.


Well, to me, you don't make much use of the LS, you don't really need the slow (although it's nice to have), small amounts of AD, doesn't make you that much tankier and doesn't sinergize all that well with the kit. So I'd rather always build Wit's End because it just helps your team so much more when you shred MR, get even tankier and still have leftover gold from not going for BotRK.

I'd only go for it as a 6th item, or maybe sooner if way ahead. But this means I either didn't go Trinity Force, which doesn't happen that often or I'm just so fed I can afford both.

Alright. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I have decided to keep the masteries as they are, until the need rises for me to switch up my gameplay. I will also be keeping my runes the same since they are a pretty common set up for Shen and I've had no issues with them.

I will however be trying Wit's End instead of Blade of the Ruined King.

Rushing Sunfire Aegis works because you mitigate both AD (armor/health) and AP (health) and gain a damaging aura which helps with split-push/farm/chase. Not only that, but the aura gets progressively worse, as the damage doesn't scale, so you benefit the most from it early-mid game.

Why not hydra for that split pushing?
