Nasus and Trinity force.

[quote=Lugignaf]I play a ton of tanky characters and Nasus seems like a tank with nice DPS potential. But from all my testing, he always seems to need a Trinity Force. I'm wondering if there's a better item with the close to the same effect and a much smaller price. Any thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Oops... Somehow, this got double posted... If someone can, get rid of the lesser viewed one.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Gah bad servers make me have to retype my post. I personally play tanky Nasus with Triforce and I hit just as hard if not harder than an AD Nasus with siphoning strike depending if I'm keeping up on my last hits. You'll still hit around 690 damage (300 from siphoning stacks and natural damage + Triforce AD stats + 130% from Triforce passive) as a tank every 3 seconds. That's pretty damn good if you ask me (of course it's not counting resistances). Nasus + Triforce = love. You really can't go wrong with a Triforce on almost any build with Nasus (unless you're building AP, which would make me want to thwomp you on the back of the head.)[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Tanky Nasus with TF is awesome. That's the best way to play him by far. Just don't go for it right away. I always get [[Aegis of the Legion]] (and boots ofc) before I get [[Sheen]], then get a few tank items before completing [[Trinity Force]].[/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]Hmm sounds good, Ill try it out :D! I'm personally a HUGE fan of trinity force[/quote]

[quote=Jvstm]I always rush Sheen then build tanky, finishing up TF after a few tank items. Unless I build AP (super fun, but not recommended for newer Nasus users, IMO), then I get Lichbane instead of Trinity.[/quote]

[quote=SinDelta]Tank Nasus i feel is the way to go. Try this build [icon=Trinity Force size=25] [icon=Mercury's Treads size=25] [icon=Aegis of the Legion size=25] [icon=Soul Shroud size=25] [icon=Guardian Angel size=25] [icon=Randuin's Omen size=25] or [icon=Atma's Impaler size=25] Just play defensively early game and focus on last hitting with that Q spell. This build focuses on being tanky and supporty while still having a good burst of damage and with that atma impaler you are really deadly in that ultimate of yours.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]If that's the exact item build order: I'd recommend you not use that build. If it's something logical like aegis->sheen->boots->triforce->Guardian Angel->Randuins/Banshee's->whatever the fuck you want, i think it'd make a bit more sense.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Huh... I've been playing all wrong then. Other than the TF I get none of those. 2 PDs a Manamune and then some situational items. Weird... Quick edit to clarify: I also tend to just sneak around the map later game to kill turrets. I don't really do team fights.[/quote]

[/quote] I don't see why you wouldn't do team fights with your E lowering down resists and your ultimate being super ultra awesome. 2 PDs on a champion like Nasus is a large waste of your gold investment, having a Triforce would be so much more beneficial overall for more damage on your Q rather than more damage over time. Overall Nasus can be a decent DPS but only if you're fed which is hard to do against a semi-competent player (i'm just putting myself in both situations. If I was going AD Nasus vs me going Tank Nasus, I think hands down my ad would die hard to my tank Nasus.)[/quote]
