Having an AP guide and knowing how to build an AP character are 2 different things. This guide needs differentiation.
Zero♥

I like the guide, but learn how to BB Code!!! Also, try to go more in-depth, and shorten your paragraphs, so your reader won't have to read long white texts D: +1 for the effort though!

This guide needs a lot of work you have only 6 chapters and need a lot of chech for grammar mistakes and just go and proof-read it for spelling mistakes. Your items doesn't look that good and only take a Mejai's Soulstealer if you are doing well then you should make another guide on the same page where you will use Mejai's Soulstealer or you should explain somethingh like this: "Warning: Only use Mejai's Soulstealer if you are doing very well because every kill you get you will increase your ability power but every time you dies you will lose a lot of your stacks."

PUT A LOT OF MORE CHAPTER! then you should check out jhoijhoi, making a guide for information howe to make you guide good and there is also a chapter called "organization" there you look, which chapter will be useful etc.
You can also find icon and images in jhoijhoi's making a guide

Will come back later for a possible vote. please +rep me if you think i earned it and helped to imporve you guide

I will vote +1 if you make this build more in-depth. I think that Zhonya's Hourglass isn't the best choice for Shaco. I know this is an AP build, but you better buy Hextech's or Sunfire Aegis or something.

Biggest problem of this is "stupid downvoting"... I vote up too,it works,so why would i downvote it?

I'm not going to vote on this guide.
But the above poster should understand that grading criteria is not based purely on "seeing it in action."
As a community our comments are made in order to better the guide, no matter what section or part of it we have qualms with.

On to your guide: Not in-depth, no coding, and doesn't offer anything more than other AP shaco guides.
I suggest taking some time and trying to expand and develop your guide instead of throwing up a couple paragraphs of generic, non-helpful information.

Well,I tried it out and from my perspetive it is pure legit,I don't usualy play AP Shaco but it was worth it. I had a perfect score and my team used my fearing in their advantage. I don't get guys like the other commenters,you don't rate a guide by the lenght of it description,you rate it by seeing it in action. And why should he change Mejai Soulstealer? It gives a much bigger boost then the other ap items,if you are doing great why the hell would you throw your succes? Well, you've got a UP VOTE from me mate,but yeah,your build does need more work.If I would have been new to Shaco,I wouldn't get anything from your guide...

I'd like to say only few little things. About taking buff without jungler. Box can hold 60 secs in stealth,then dies,but when buff spawns 1:55,start put boxes at 0:56,to have more boxes and faster kill. :) You probably should have time to kill wolfes eighter,which is sometimes big difference.. Anyway... "Ap Shaco is not difficult" is bullsh*t. AP shaco is hell hard to master in cuz of box placing and E harassement. But keep playing and improwin' your guide man!

Dude,this is not the AP Shaco guide I wanted to see.Listen.You guide is a bit short,you need a little bit more coding.I agree with the dude before.It is weird order of your chapters.
Also,AP Shaco doesn't work like that.Firsst of all, Majai's soulstealer is not always quite useful.Also,you may want to have Rylai's Crystal Scepter or Rod of Ages.One more thing,I wouldn't say that you will need inginte because you are a caster.That thing I learned by playing Ahri-if you are AP carry/assassin don't take Ignite.

well AP Shaco may be legit, bot this guide isn't, coding beyond the basics goes a long way, for instance Shaco looks better then shaco or Shaco. It's a mistake to recommend stacking items such as Leviathan, Mejai's Soulstealer, and Sword of the Occult as a core item, They are best listed as situational items. also, your chapter order is odd, and the guide is pretty short. I'm not trying to be rude, its just as far as i can tell, this guide needs a lot of work.
No vote from me, I'm afraid, but I will check again later.
