Ok thanks.

Nice build. I've always gone brawlers gloves to start but i find the cloth and pots works much better about 90% of the time. +1

It's just for sustain. Yes, that's the usual Jungle build but it could be built solo top as well.

Because it looks like it with cloth armor 5 health potion to start + wriggle lantern.

Where did you get the idea that it was a Jungle build?

Hi,

Sorry I haven't read your build yet but one thing comes to my mind when I see it, this is a jungle build so where is smite ?

Great! Will be working on that. I just wish that cheat sheet was more...versatile. I don't always build that way so it is a bit misleading.

A decent looking Gangplank guide. A couple of things though.

First thing I notice is the Exhaust. You should really only get it if noone else in your team is (though these days, the support will usually grab one) and even then it's still pretty situational. Ignite gives you a lot more kill potential in the lane and in general or even Teleport would be more useful. (I know you mention all of the viable summoner spells later but I don't think Exhaust should be the one listed as main choice.
Since the mana increase cost on Parrrley, Gangplank needs some sort of mana regen early on to keep up. I would suggest taking the mastery points out of defense and put them into utility for the mana regen as it's a pretty simple solution. (and 2 points in Durability don't really do that much)
Rushing Warmog's Armor is a bit outdated nowadays because of the nerf and because with just a Warmog's you really won't be doing anything. It's almost always better now to grab a Frozen Mallet instead.
Phantom Dancer as a final item is a bit meh. At this point you should probably be looking at getting armor penetration with a Last Whisper.
You could probably add a couple more defensive items, such as Randuin's Omen, Guardian Angel, etc.

Other than that it looks pretty good. I like how you give the readers some good alternative mastery and rune choices which is always very important. One last tip I can give you is to update your match-ups cause some of them are a bit off. (, , mainly)
