If you don't want to believe locket is a good tank item, shrug, not going to try to convince you. Anyway, I changed my build a bit in the last game and i was pretty impressed with the core of: locket spirit visage what you go for after that is kind of in the air, I ended the game (a 4 vs 5 I carried) with Atma's, Spirit Visage, Randuin's, Treads, Triforce and Locket. | ||

Mp5plvl are the best runes in the game (and meditation is probly the best mastery) - the whole point of running them is so you don't have to waste gold on mp5 items. | ||

Oh and of course locket+visage is a good combo, but it adds minimal tankage to Nasus while providing great utility to your team which is not really his roll as far as being an aura whore/healer. I'm willing to try anything though so I'll give it a shot. I'm just thinking that locket is going to be crap in teamfights and i'll get bursted down immediately since I spent all my tank item money on it. When we're getting poked while dancing around their turret is the only time it's going to do much imo. | ||

This isn't to say that after locket, sv and sheen you are free to pump elixirs and push for a win because then your runes won't be enough to mitigate the magic damage you'll be taking, but 2 negatrons cost little more than triple pot, and with the kills you'll be getting from teamfights that isn't going to be a huge sum of money for you. | ||

Although you do lack the flat EHP you make up for it with runes, and the stacking regen from your passive/ult/locket being increased by SV makes you pretty ridiculous.

no reason to give a solo to a tank thats gonna let their carry farm too when you can have a tank that will deny and farm effectively at the same time just my 2 cents on nasus current state | ||

Nasus' ult doesn't give any regen. This logic all just seems backwards to me. We're taking the best runes (mp5plvl) and the best tanking items (randuins, banshees) and trading them for lesser runes (armor, mres) and lesser tanking items (locket, sv), all because locket is fotm? note that I'm not hating on locket. I'm placing it in the same category as Aegis - good, but much more useful if someone else on your team buys it.

I really don't think locket is a lesser tanking item than randuin's or banshee's. I certainly wouldn't say it's better in terms of absolute effects but it's on their level, and it's way undercosted compared to them. @ruken us, not sure why I'm not showing up as my name is the same there | ||

At least that's my view on that matter (though nowadays i think nasus needs to be tanky) | ||

Aegis fits the bill. So does Randuin. If your team's performance in fights is going to be relatively immune to the effects of randuin (they have a heavy magical/CC and relatively position independent team), Aegis comes out as the superior option. Nasus is great and all, but he isn't going to be dealing dedicated carry level damage, and he doesn't have much utility outside wither. Compare that to mumu/galio/nunu/olaf/gragas/malphite/XZ. The gulf in team fight control is massive, so you need to make up for it somehow, and giving your team a shitton of armor and mres during the early portion of the game when the last whispers and void staffs aren't out is huge. | ||
