Just saw your guide The Angry Cookie and it's awesome! I'll be trying to incorporate your format. And about the Guinsoo's Rageblade issue is it more viable to rush Nashor's Tooth instead? Also I was thinking if players could choose to go for Lich Bane instead of Trinity Force when vying for more AP augmented melee damage when completing their Sheen and regular Trinity Force if they need more chasing power or attack speed. Banshee's Veil and Guardian Angel are definitely good for him if having late game survival issues so I'll mention that as well.

You might want to consider at least putting paragraphs in this guide or maybe some pictures.. Your gonna turn a lot of ppl away with the MASSIVE wall of text.. Other than that I admire anyone who is brave enough to attempt DPS Kassadin, one recommendation though would be to sub out guinsoo's for another AS item since it takes a while to charge and to sub out a lich for a guardian angel if they are focusing you.. Take a look at my Kassadin guide for a good format and AP build.. +1 from me.

Thanks for the info InFecTion. ^_^ I'm still not sure if Lich Bane and Trinity Force's passives stack in the latest patch but I'll try to see it again if it does soon. However, if the game still drags on it would be better to use Kassadin's high AP to augment his melee attacks to finish off squishies more quickly. The defense will be properly handled if a player is quick with his fingers and correct with Riftwalk. Besides, it's not Kassadin's job to tank. But of course it depends on the players as well. If they need more survivability then by all means tweak the item build a little and substitute Lich Bane with Banshee's Veil.

I'm going to have to downvote this. A trinity force and a lichbane just won't work together.. I would suggest taking out the lichbane and adding something defensive (banshees beil, guardian angel, etc.)

Read the whole wall. Lol. ^_^ I specifically made this guide for a viable DPS Kassadin. As I said in the beginning of this in-depth guide it wasn't meant to be the best guide for Kassadin but just to be my own suggestion for Kassadin. It's not newbie friendly, thus the wall of text and explanations, and it's supposed to be just another build possible for adventurous and risk taking veteran League of Legends players. Thank you for the first comment though. I appreciate it.

P.S. - The Kassadin in this guide will be auto-attacking A LOT. ^_^

too much text, its just a big wall. Also, you should build Kass pure AP, if you are trying to make him a carry. The AP is more important than the damage, so I dont know why you built it. Also, guinsoo's? really? you arent going to be autoattacking, that isnt what Kass is about.
