Like seriously, have you people tried this on him yet? Good overall damage, I'm building him like Jarvan right now lol.

In theory AD/AS Maokai could work since you're an excellent chaser and you have a lot of sustain with your passive, especially in team fights (ESPECIALLY when there's a vlad/ryze/other spammer in the game).

Still, I think that since a lot of people are building him roam/support (gold per 5), it's just less costly to build AP/support/tanky Maokai.

EDIT: Damn, Trojan, that link was useful. AP/Triforce Maokai, never thought of that. o.o

Lol, he is building very similar to me Trojan.

Right now I'm more focus on cooldown reduction and trinity force proc. As of right now his cooldown are damn long.

I'm was thinking Spirit Visage on him might be worth the buy as it scales with his passive and gives the much need cooldown reduction.

Lets theorycraft the hell out of this guy. If we are able to come up with a very good build I will put it into a guide and give you all credit of course.

For some theory crafting:

- duo or solo top lane. Chu8 prefers solo top/mid, but currently I see all maokais take bot lane. I don't think mid would be good, because anyone with range should be able to shut him down, but I guess we either have to test it ourselves or trust chu8 on this one.

-definitely start with regrowth + pot, then turn into philo stone. Mao needs mana, and money too if he wants a trinity force. a Heart of gold would be good for him too, if 1 philo is enough - if not, 2 philos instead of 1 philo/1 hog. I'm not quite sure how necessary tenacity is on mao, so it depends if elysia's is situational or not.

-though Chu8 says banshee's after elysia's miracle, I'm thinking that considereth is right and we should go spirit visage instead. However, getting 40% cdr will need a bit more than just that. Maybe this order:

regrowth + pot
philo + boots (+ 1 or 2 heart of gold if you have good start)
sorc + sheen
triforce
miracle (situational?)
spirit visage
morello's evil tome
rylai's/rabadon's

I used to lane Maokai mid. His sapling toss buys him a large section of mid when used to harass and will easily keep him alive
