I love this build. It's amazing! :D The attack speed is pretty awesome. But the thing is since she has a low mana pool, I usually pick Clarity and Ignite as her summoner skills.
Clarity - I can spam easily.
Ignite - She could use the extra damage.

Anyways, I'm still in the process of re-doing my rune page for her. Soo, I shall let you know when I have all my runes for her and so forth. THIS BUILD IS AWESOME. +1 for you sir.

I've been playing this build a lot and have found that it is much more reliable than a crit build. With a crit build I find some players walking away when I should have killed them. This build is reliable and makes you a pretty durable carry due to the lifesteal and frozen mallet health bonus. Great build for ranked and normal alike!

Don't go around promoting your own build on other Caitlyn build's, it is very distasteful.

Its a pretty amazing build tried it once and it worked like an angel but i still think that armor pen runes and the offence mastery benefits abit more when it comes to the hard armor tanks but it was a darn nice and well made guide. +1 for me =D

You braniac? Please read the guide first.

There is no reason to get crit, look you're ulti doesn't crit and you're passive is a free Infinity Edge, just without need of crit. So there is NO reason to get crit. As I explains it's also SO unreliable.
I know my ulti doesn't crit and what do you mean your passive is a free infinity edge? The infinity edge gives a huge amount of AD. Does your passive give a huge amount of AD? Does your passive give an increased critical strike or chance? NO it doesn't. I use crits in my guide because i get to hit crits very fast and everytime delivering HIGHER DAMAGE. Your Cait is all about DPS but mine is all about burst. But my Cerebral Assassin Guide gives more AD increasing crit and increasing damage. Oh and my ulti i did some calculations and my damage is significantly high. If my Cait gets assists and kills the damage significantly increases with SOTA. My Cait does SUPER high burst while yours has very fast armor pen AS. My cait only has to hit 3 shots to kill a squishy. Instead of going armor pen for mine, i just add phantom dancer or madred's to kill the tanks b/c late game they have lots of armor but i could counter it with even higher damage.

Sorry for being so offensive but there are many ways to play cait. I'm not saying you are wrong for AS Cait because Cait needs AS. Check out my new guide plz. http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/caitlyn-the-cerebral-assassin-53690 try it out ^_^ you'll be plzed to know it works. Trust me my new build is not that unreliable.

Great build
+1
one thing though, in the part where you link to the top ahse build and say that AS is better than crit since neither her skills nor passive can crit, i just wanted to point out that her passive can crit :x

Yo nice build! just wanted to say that i think a crit build will work well with her as well since if i remember rite her passive and her ultimate work with her crits too. A high Crit item build with AS will work with her too from my experience, but everyone has their own personal playstyle. Nonetheless tho u got a nice build here, i tried it out and liked it too.

If you had read what I wrote, I said that I tried to limit my spells - i didn't even attempt to do any amount of harassing or farming with skill shots until mid game at least, but when it came to team fights there's a certain amount of damage and spells i HAVE to deal to be a halfway-decent carry. I really couldn't get more than a few spells off before having to retreat if I entered a battle with full MP. I used your guide to the letter and I got that result, but I guess I'll try out the meki pendant/mana regen runes.


I really don't get it, you must be lying or something.

I am pretty sure her base mana pool is something around 550-900 in mid-game, and her spells on cost around 60 mana. So just there she would be able to use at least 15+ spells non-stop to run out of mana, and with this build you get at least 30 mp5 (6 mana per second, which means it takes 10 seconds to get mana for a spell).

Do you in average, use her abillities more than 10 seconds? Only in team fights I do, and I still last for more than enough time. Well I will test it again and have max focus on her mana.


Have you ever tried playing Ashe? Her mana is a bit like Ashe, it's quite is to have enough if you just play correctly.
