Kassadin: Need Optimized Netherblade-Oriented...

[quote=SrsBsns1338]I'm trying to come up with the best possible melee Kassadin build, heavily oriented around Offense/Defense masteries, rune compositioning, skill order, and most importantly the items and ordering. Anyone on these forums have the brains to help me come up with the absolute best Netherblade-Oriented "Melee" assassin build? If you think you're a veteran LoL player and know the game from A to B, then consider this a challenge from me to you. Post your ideas, and have at it![/quote]

[quote=caucheka]first off nice profile name. was srsbsns1337 taken? nah i kid i kdi. but i'll try to think up something. just you wait.[/quote]

[quote=SrsBsns1338]*laughs* Yea, it was taken. :P I hope you're able to cook up something good so I can take it to Summoner's Drift asap! xD I've been doing my research on what would be the best item, but I want to make sure that Kass can dish out some serious damage fast, thus enabling his spammability. I have my eyes set on Nashor's Tooth for some reason because I know it'd make mana insanely easy to manage while providing the means to wail on foes with the rest of the damage items. But then I think, "Kass also needs sum srs pew-pew damage! Not just IAS... So I have my eyes set upon the Guinsoo's Rageblade, Hextech Gunblade, and the Black Cleaver. Also, for runes I was thinking a hybrid between the core elements: armor pen., magic pen., and a.p.. I don't know which is greater, so I'm hoping posters will read my posts and share some of their awesome wisdom with me.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]so, you're looking for a hybrid build?[/quote]

[quote=ZeroRacer]I...I can't believe it. I made an account here just to get this same question answered. http://leaguecraft.com/strategies/guide/1227-kass-will-whoop-your-ass-damage-kassadin.xhtml Above is the build by chainsawmonkey, he has one of the few reputations for being a respected hybrid kass main on leaguecraft. Could someone help optimize it a bit? I still find the early-mid game...lacking. Sure, once you got your trini force and begin building your other late game items it's fun analing people with your purple lightsaber, but I just feel so useless during the mid game skirmishes. Edit: Also tried out the highest rated resident build on mobafire for dps kassadin. It was different enough from the chainsawmonkey build that I would be interested enough to try it. Sadly...I don't know, even with a decent team I couldn't output the damage needed to really be useful.[/quote]

Thank you for pointing the page out for me to see it. It just looks pretty much like an inferior carry build. Master Yi or other carries can prolly do it better... :/ I was thinking more like Guinsoo, Hextech Gunblade, Lichbane, etc.[/quote]

[quote=ZeroRacer]Well, think about it, if you wanted to play yi, play yi. But my question to you is, does yi have a get out of hell card, doubling as an initiation move, a powerful aoe slow, and a single target silence? His moves keep useful because of sheer utility. But I agree with you, there are many ways to go about doing this build and even with my mild success with it I find it lacking something that would have made it more viable.[/quote]
