Sometimes some extra damage can be nice though, so iceborne or hydra often get built late, or triforce for ms/slow/damage. In 3v3 though he may sometimes want to build damage overpower some other teams, something like hyrda+iceborne+sv gives him amazing clear, damage, cdr, and resists, and he can continue to build damage if necessary. Generally though Nasus mostly plays really well just building tanky items and just use his built in damage kit with cd for his damage, he usually doesn't need much more than that. Arpen, self-scaling Q, and his ult gives him AD based on how long he can stand in the middle of the enemy team  | ||

You usually will get iceborn cause its a nice item Hydra can be okay (even though I usually recommend not getting it) The one thing you can think about in the real lategame is a lastwhisper but you have the same problem as every melee later on - you get kited and kiled before you get into melee range | ||

like iceborn is going to be 125 damage or something more on your Q which you can always get by farming q better hydra stops you farming q i dunno why you'd ever want it unless it procs on your q or something | ||

Like others have said, his kit has built-in % damage. I like to build him Ancient Golem, Aegis locket/randuins + swiftness boots. Last whisperer is nice because of lategame armor mitigation, but you can do well fulltank while allowing your ulti to deal most of your damage. | ||

why would you say damage is mandatory especially when you see all the jungle nasus who never built a single damage item I meant it exactly as I wrote "no dmg is mandatory" no forgotten comma :D To clear it up: You dont need dmg as Nasus. however you can get some if you are already really really tanky and your team needs more dmg (which is rarely) | ||

might not be terrible though, but just buy a few more pots and get whatever resist or cdr item that you really want | ||

The tenacity allows you to get other boots other than merc treads, which is awesome if the other team lacks decent AP. If you get swiftness boots, the slow resist and movement lv3 means no one will ever be able to run away from you, and once you get swiftness boots and the ancient golem, you can cheese a kill if the other guy is still trying to zone you. | ||

spirit of the ancient golem isnt bad however the thing is you have so much lifesteal and a free hp ult which can function as a heal meaning resists are just vastly better for a long laning phase. 500 hp is a lot in a fight but only 3 hp pots in a laning phase so against any magic dmg you want spirit visage more than spirit of the ancient golem and you will have a glacial +nearly a wardens mail instead also. id only get spirit stone if i had to be super passive so much that im going to be underfarmed so i need the hp pretty badly and tabi/spirit of the ancient golem is probably the easiest way to get tanky quickly in that position there shouldn't be anyone that beats him top lane hard enough to justify that though, unless you get super behind | ||

You're pretty spot on, except that Nasus ganks kind of suck and he's much better at counterganking and tower pushing. He has the best waveclear of any jungler. Also, I'd recommend adding a jungler to your pool that can gank and control the game early, like Elise/Jarvan/Eve. Other than Sejuani's initiate all 3 of those play very similarly. | ||

What are people building typically? Went SS -> boots -> Golem -> Swifties -> Locket -> Last Whisper -> Randuins. In hindsight I think the cdr+healing bonus (and other stats) of Visage should have had me getting it much sooner but the opposing team had one source of AP damage so it went fine anyway. Last Whisper can probably wait but I was feeling pretty good with golem and locket but I think visage + warden's would have made me scarier at that point in the game... not sure. | ||

It really pains me how much locket sucks compared to bulwark, because that used to be such a staple. -_- | ||
