A Question for all PBE Nautilus Players

I don't have a PBE account (rito pls), so I've only had the chance to speculate.

How many of you have tried maxing E before W with his 5.5 buffs? I'm curious to know whether the sustain from W is still king or if the extra clear power from E is a better step. I just want to know what you have found to be optimal so far.

Part of me thinks it'll be something more of a blend, like: 1) Putting points in W>E>W>Q (gank) and maxing E>W>R>Q -or- 2) Putting points in W>E>E>Q (gank) and maxing W>E>R>Q

Since I can't test, I'm just spitballing, though. Thoughts?

Well, you'll be able to test soon.

My initial reaction is you probably won't get multiple Es off on a camp, so it probably still makes more sense to max w.

Also, maxing E makes it expensive in terms of mana, maybe even with the decreased mana cost. Anyhow, ill give it a try here in a sec

I don't like the look of the changes. We'll see.

Its a helpful early game change, mainly the shield buff for early game, but the main strength of the change still rests in late game fights. You will still max your W first, but the E buff is really disruptive in a team fight.
