Hi dudes. I've started working on a Gangplank build, but I'm in quite a dilemma on the item build.

The item sequence I've used is:
2x Faerie Charm + pots
Philosopher's Stone
Avarice Blade
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Infinity Edge
Eleisa's Miracle
Youmuu's Ghostblade
Warmog's Armor
Atma's Impaler
Banshee's Veil - Instead of Elaia's

I would really like Trinity Force or Phantom Dancer, but I don't know what to replace. Perhaps instead of Youmuu's.. What do you guys think?

Replace infinity edge with triforce IMO. It sounds kinda silly, but GP benefits from all the stats and the slow works great on him.

Or you could remove youmuus and replace that with infinity edge - skipping the avarice altogether, but I don't know, not really familiar with Atmogs GP...

Wouldn't start with 2 faerie charms either - you're only buying one philo stone, and you can turn that into eleisa's when needed.

Warmog or BV are probably the best choices to skip if you really want one of those items.

There is a severe lack of Executioner's Calling in this build.

Also, why are you not jungling?

I prefer laning with GP :)

Perhaps I shouldn't make a guide, cause this build might just be suited for my playstyle, I've had good results with it.. I've tried going TF, but I died more often and that made me do less damage. I think going with 3 defensive items make you a really bulky killing machine, when critting for 1100 or so, even with 3 defensive items. Furthermore you have a great gold advantage going with 2 gp10 items, while still farming like a baws.

I probably just need to test different item paths alot of times to see which I find best.

I sell the second charm, it's simply for more mana reg. I farm like there's no tomorrow with Q in early game.

In my two recent games I've had a better farm than the mid players despite me playing in a duolane and in a 1v2 lane.

Executioner's Calling is a fantastically underrated item, especially on Gangplank. Gangplank with an Exe Calling is super-strong in lane. Every time they use a health potion, nullify that healing. It allows you to dominate the solo top lane and the DoTs really add up, and the lifesteal and crit chance are both things that GP needs.

Triforce vs. Infinity Edge is an on-going debate but Triforce is actually more common now.
