Going 9 in offensive seems pretty silly, quite a bit of your damage is from E and R anyway, better get 21 in utility for that 6% cdr and movement speed and other goodies. Putting points in E and just qing the large creep seems like the best way to play him. You get 66% of your original q stacks compared to doing it perfectly before but you don't artificially slow yourself. Hydra is trash, lw is okay if they stack armour trinity is going to be good when it costs a reasonable price again. Spirit of the ancient golem+cdr boots+kindlegem into locket+glacial seems like a good core and maybe a spirit visage instead of glacial vs heavier magic damage. | ||

Stacking lifesteal is only good for 1v1 or fed as fuck ad carries when there isn't 123103213 assassins that can jump you which is pretty much never these days | ||

Spirit stone makes sense since you don't really want to lose Q procs from madreds procs. Only your Q procs the spirit of red buff. I'd say you need a consistent slow to prevent kiting and then you go tank stats since Nasus doesn't have the mobility in teamfights to survive if he's not tanky. 2 points in E might kill the little creeps too fast. I played Shyvana jungle recently and I think I killed the little wraiths with a level 1 W. I think another big consideration if you're going to max Q is your mana consumption. Q at low levels doesn't cost much, but it steadily increases to 40mana and a shorter cooldown. Are you taking blue buffs? The biggest problem is still going to be your clear speed. If you slow it down to farm your Q then you can't gank for your allies as much. His W is decent CC if you can somehow get in range to use it. On spirit of red buff, I can confirm E and R damage both *do* proc it (tested in custom game, feel free to check yourself) And yeah I looked at the mana costs, but spirit stone should cover you as long as you use E responsibly Also the reasoning behind hydra was that you have lulzy aoe healing while being tanky so you don't get bursted 100 to 0, but it seems iffy at best. Armor pen runes are questionable on nasus since E already shreds armor to really low levels. Flat ad/AS/MS seem good, would have to test | ||

It seems AoE isn't classified as DoT immediately. Thank you for doing the tests. | ||

1. Health 2. AOE magic damage 3. Bonus AD People are just going to scatter when you ult lategame, so hydra doesn't make much sense to me. Again, lifesteal is not as good as defense on him. You're not an AD, you can't sit there attacking to keep your health up. You need health and resists to survive as people try to kite you. Edited because spelling 2hard. | ||

He needs extra mobility and tank stats, as long as he stays alive he'll deal out a lot of damage regardless. His passive and w also ensure that as long as you can outlast the enemies he'll be progessively harder to take out the fewer they get. Building an item purely for damage is not really the way to go, if you want more damage something along the line of atma's is better as it at least gives you armor and criting with q is way strong and lifesteals more than enough. | ||

Before it couldn't. This is weird. It really shouldn't imo. It leads to a lot more damage on lucky TriForce crits and I have no idea when it was stealth patched in... Little things like this make theorycrafting much harder. | ||

It does make TF a lot more attractive, though. | ||
