As for boots I mostly take

As for the 6th item I personally recommend buying magic penetration like






When you decided what items to pick, head over to your mid lane and place boxes to cover the jungle and pull the blue/red for your jungler. Untill you reach level 4 just farm like a braindead zombie, by the time that you are level 4 you will have
Two-Shiv Poison at level 2, and so be able to harass alot. Just keep harassing but don't waste too much mana for when your jungler comes to gank your lane.

By now you should have
Deathfire Grasp and ofcourse tier 2 boots(
Mobility Boots or
Sorcerer's Shoes or boots of ludicity) so roam as much as you can to help your team out, steal their blue or maybe wait their jungler up at their blue. Keep in mind that waiting someone up can be risky to lose alot of time in farming and doing other useful stuff. Mid game for AP Shaco is when you will really deal some damage and make a difference in team fights. Try to build
Lich Bane as fast a possible at this point, so your bursting can start.




AP Shaco is an absolute beast at late game, he can almost one-shot every AD carry by then with the
Deathfire Grasp +
Two-Shiv Poison +
Lich Bane proc combo. Also his clone deals over 1100 damage to their entire team if used right.



In team fights you can basically shut down AD carries immediatly with your
Deathfire Grasp +
Two-Shiv Poison +
Lich Bane proc combo. Doing this already helps the teamfight to go in your favour. After that you should immediatly drop down your clone and hope it explodes soon, it probably will because people tend to use alot of AoE spells in teamfights. This clone will deal alot of damage to everyone and makes your team able to finish the rest together with you.
