I was thinking about trying something like this:
Boots of Swiftness (subject to change)
Rod of Ages
Atma's Impaler
Trinity Force
Sunfire Aegis or
Banshee's Veil
Guardian Angel
What do you guys think?







What do you guys think?
Chu8's typical builds for maokai
1) regrowth + pot
philo + boots (+ 1 or 2 heart of rice if you have good start)
sorc + sheen
triforce
miracle
banshee (or abyssal if it seems necessary)
rylai + deathcap (you can skip rylai if you need other item, but its exceptionally good)
Replace banshee with randuins, GA, or Hourglass if enemy team is mainly AD
2) mana crystral + 2 pots
catalist
sorc boots
rod of ages
sheen
deathcap + triforce
banshee
moonflair

Just bad..
Go with what Chu8 builds instead.

kk just randomly throwing the idea out there.
I usually play tanky AP Mao anyways, I'll stick with that...
EDIT: Actually, what exactly is so bad about it?
My thought process: If you're building a trinity force optimize it > How do you optimize the procs? > get
more AD > how do you stay tanky and get AD? > Atma's + other health items
Imma replace the hextech with a guardian angel, because that item is pretty worthless.
Maokai doesn't have the synergy for it.
Although Arcane Smash has a low cooldown, it's not what you want to be spamming.
If it were more effective CC like Blitzcrank's
Power Fist then maybe, but it is such a common hit-or-miss skill.
I tried using Sheen in last week's Maokai free week.
It went horribly.
Not having my usual catalyst made things go terribly in lane.
Personally, I think Maokai has sufficient damage to go full tank, with a little AP on the side.

@Jun You probably weren't doing it right =/
Maokai NEEDS solo mid or solo top, he can 2v2 or 2v1, but he just scales so well with levels.
I carry with Maokai and Triforce
Try this build next time since its more mana friendly:
mana crystral + 2 pots
catalist
sorc boots
rod of ages
sheen
deathcap + triforce
banshee
moonflair
To clarify he synergizes with it very well.

Best bet is to use his combo: E>W>Q. You get huge burst damage with that, some AP, and Triforce.
