How do we MAX Braum's damage?

Cosmicness·May 6, 2014·1 votes·11,391 views

Excuse me for not looking far into his scaling but I noticed his q scales off of health. How do we build Braum to have the MOST damage possible? Do we forget he scales with health and just build normal AD? or does his ult scale with ap?

I would like to know what to build to make Braum hit like a Russian guy with a giant shield.

What his the perfect mix of health and ad to build? and AP if he has at all any scaling.

I understand Braum is not meant for damage... Doesn't mean we've never tried ad leona...

His Q Scales with 2% of MAX health, his jump to and protect scales with bonus Armor and MR (don't remember ratios), and his ulti scales with a 0.6% AP ratio (ratios are of last time I looked at PBE changes).

You'd basically have to build tanky in order to deal damage,that's how I look at it.

That's pretty awesome if thats actually how to make him do the most damage, but i feel like building ad just for his auto attacks might make him deal more damage than his health scaling.

well, atma's would be a great start, as well as say fromal and lets not forget teh tri-force. thats half a build right there, not sure if its suited to your needs exactly, but its something~

Just a heads up but in the current AMA Rito has already said that if he's viable in any other lane / position then he's broken and will get nerfed. I definitely do not like poo pooing on experimenting with off builds and the such but if what they say is true you're unlikely to see good results trying to maximize damage.

Not saying you shouldn't, just that if it does work don't expect it to last very long.

yeah I just read that, im not expecting him to work in other lanes, I just want to try it for fun once or twice. Just because I have a group of friends to play with who dont mind losing :P

Sounds like my kind of people.

I know, I know for many people winning=fun but I'd rather have fun losing than deal with jerks while winning. Ideally both is great, and I'm certainly not suggesting that good attitudes and winning are mutually exclusive but I also don't think experimentation shouldn't be kicked to the curb just for the sake of scores.

Glad you've found a cool group of people to play with. :)

If you plan to mindless build him for dmg build him like an ad carry his atk speed wont scale well but who cares

so is he gonna be a right away jump in supp?or a kinda wait and see supp?

CosmicnessMay 6, 20141 votes

with his jump and wall I feel like he can be a play maker in clutch situations. but I feel like He will also be a good initiator with his ult, and will be able to tank fights due to his natural tanky-ness...

His scaling is (intentionally) incredibly bad which means your best bet is items that either don't scale or scale to something other than raw stats. Trinity Force/Iceborn Gauntlet and Sunfire Cape (all scale with level only) are your best bets. If you want to get full dumb then Wit's End (scales with aspd), BotRK (scales with aspd and enemy hp), and Flare (aspd) if you're jungling.

Of course the actual intelligent way to up his damage is cdr, which will up his damage by a comparatively small amount but also increase his utility and tankiness, but judging from your mention of AD Leona I don't think 'intelligent' is what you're aiming for.
