AS Offtank (would it work?)

[quote=darkr3x]Chalk it up to only have played for a week, but I've hardly seen anyone aside from [[Teemo]] associated with buffing AS. Does AS not really scale along the same lines as AD/AP in terms of output? [color=#ff0000]ANSWER[/color] Not with Alistar, so now this is about creating a [b][i]chaser/diver who can jump into and out of a team fight to take out people with low HP AND keep them from getting back under tower or die trying.[/i][/b] I am currently player lv9. [u]Runes[/u] 3 Flat MP marks (early game ability advantage, synergy with cape later) 3 Flat Armor Seals (early game advantage, still somewhat useful later) 3 [s]Scaled[/s] Flat CDR Glyphs (more useful early, esp in duo lanes to set up ganks) 0 [i]MP Quints[/i] [u]Masteries[/u] 1 Deadliness 3 Archmage;s Savvy 4 Sorcery 1 Archaic Knowledge [u]Item Core[/u] HoG > Omen Merc's Treads Sunfire Cape/ Stark's (lots of squishies/lots of tanks) Spirit Visage (boosts his healing and HP/5) Sheen, Zeal > Triforce (+30 AS and other stuff) Glacial Shroud > Frozen Heart The Above build is 1:0 Game 1: 5/5/14[/quote]

[quote=Mrs Warboys]AS works best with champs that have high natural AD or an AD steroid. Mundo/Master Yi and their Es, for example.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]what warboys said. also alistar isn't a very good ad character. his skills are set to be a great tank, initiator, mage, or any combination of the 3.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Most auto attacking champs build AD+crit because Infinity Edge gives bonus value for those stats.[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]Offtank with AS is only really Ireia because her W is so stupidly broken that all she needs is a SoTD and full tank items and she will rape face[/quote]

[quote=Searz]^No. All she needs is Wit's End+Trinity Force+Tanky stuffz to rape faces.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=caucheka] what warboys said. also alistar isn't a very good ad character. his skills are set to be a great tank, initiator, mage, or any combination of the 3. [/quote] I remember when DPS Alistar used to be a viable thing because of his passive.[/quote]

[quote=darkr3x]perhaps I should clarify what it is I want to accomplish. essentially I want to knock down towers and then be there when a team fight breaks out. once there, pummel the stuffing out of who ever I crash into and keep the heat up. you know, I just described [[shen]] -_-[/quote]

Wit's End + red buff combined with Vorpal Spikes on Cho'gath is really effective and makes you do quite alot of damage while still being able to build tanky as hell. Same thing on Udyr, grab a wit's end, activate phoenix stance, profit.[/quote]
