With lich bane after decieve its +120% damage from stealth, transfered and combied with AP, so ... after deathcap I had something about 410AP and 100AD... thats a fkin 1100+ damage :D. Guys... just decieve there, throw this wicked demage on them, halucinate, flash out, throw your box, or whatever and end up with dagger. Lich bane is a must for AP shacons... get it after boots, or whenever ^^. nice AP build btw, but well... gona to do something myself.

I tested out the build in a custom game to see how much damage i could get and you were right a void staff was better than a hextech gunblade expecially at the beginning for the more damage and it's a pretty cheap build. for the full build it would probably be around 16000 which isn't all that much in those games.

Well you got to remember that your not going to be going in there after you use your abilities and you would most likely die a painful death. I did actually try a sheen and the fact that your not going to be auto attacking with ap shaco you shouldn't get sheen or lichbane.

Yay someone played this guide and liked it! YAY!

I've never had sucsess with AP shaco until I uses this +1

spell vamp is nice but, you can't do much with it I could've sworn that i changed for void staff might have only been in the items section though. if you want to you can get void then hextech revolver for the damage then spell vamp. you can also just go rabadon's after words

build looks pretty good i would recommend a lich bane before arch but whatever works fine

Woops thought I changed the hextech revolver, and I took your advice and changing it now.
I can see why you wouldn't want the perseverance but, I mainly took to get more mana regen, I can see why it's bad on him and the reduced time dead would help if your doing pretty badly.

+1 haha

The only thing i would change is that you should get hextech right off the abt so that you have the early damage and ap to get kills and then you can get all the other ap builds to rape hard. +1 still good job sir

Two other things to keep in mind is masterie related, Persrverence is a bad spell, it sounds good but if you do the math it is sow little that reduced time spent dead is better. But that is not as important. But some thing that is important is Expanded mind. that masterie is just bad. i recomend you change it to greed or utility mastery. I would have done the math for you but iam really bad at math D:

nice update. like the spell vamp, ill give it a go.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't had the ip to buy the force runes and kinda thought they were stupid till I did the math and found out that I was pretty dang dumb for not getting them sooner. I put the potency ones on there for the early game advantage like you need for ap akali or veigar. Also the reason I put the teleport and fortify up was because I still had the troll build on my mind and wasn't thinking. I've updated the hallucinate part of my build to stress a couple of things. Also I should have remembered Rabadon's passive a little better. Please tell me how your experience go when when you try this build. the void staff was a nice touch. probably going to be updating this quite a bit.

Iam spoon and agree with this build.

Have a few things to say if thats ok.
Summoner spells dont enhance your play style, think you should rethink the summoner spells. Flash/Ghost = win when utility build. Ap per level runes would be better.

reason's:
1. since you have meja in your build, right after level 6-7 when you buy your meja, you set yourself back. meja dosnt give that much in its self.
2.Ap per level runes give you the same AP at level 6, as flats.
3. since you have rabadon's AP per level is sow sweat.

Ok some thing more to, i would change out the first archangle staff, for void staff. Why is easy, you have no real magic pen. late game void staff is the best.

Cool guide, ill give it a try later on today. I have played ap shaco allot back in the day for funsys. Allot of fun. Liked how you leveled shiv before boxes, good man D: Cool thanks for the guide and catch ya on the flip side. +1
