New patch, R is now 2.5 seconds instead of 2.

Old DPS per target:

Level 11: 500 / 2 = 250
Level 16: 600 / 2 = 300
+200% AP and +300% AD over 2s meant that you'd get +1(AP) DPS and +1.5(AD) DPS.

New DPS per target:
Level 6: 400 / 2.5 = 160
Level 11: 575 / 2.5 = 230
Level 16: 750 / 2.5 = 300
+250% AP and +375% AD over 2.5s means that you get +1(AP) DPS and +1.5(AD) DPS.

It's really just a way to make Kat scale even better into the lategame. On the bad side, you have less punch at level 6. Unless you have CC enemies have more time to get away. However you don't have the 0.25 channeling time anymore. Without AD/AP items, Kat does 517.5 damage in 2.25 seconds at level 11 versus old 500 damage, already an improvement. At 16 it's a bigger improvement. And also you now have a little bit of damage to outlast Zhonya's casting time.

Overall in the 2.25s timeframe that the spell used to occupy you do:
10% less damage at level 6
3.5% more damage at level 11
12.5% more damage at level 16


What do these new ratios say about Gunblade vs pure AP builds? +75% AD is pretty big

Don't build gunblade. It's just inferior to other options

How do you build Kat early? I mean like after the opening items. Since no DRing/chalice/tear do you get guise as a early boost (seems very good idea to skip if for some reason you get tons of gold early, like killing mid+jungler). Flat pen seems to suck for her and it's really awkward to make an abyssal (unlike a zhonyas) for the MR if you get dumped on by an AP mid.
