How to build Gangplank in a proper way?
Since they removed the crit from Trinity Force, Gangplank builds feel really awkward. Trinity Force is still non-negotiable because he really needs the Spellblade procs, but now that this item lacks crit, I don't know how I should built him.
Most melee carries rely on stacking attack speed because they spend a lot of time auto-attacking, but Gangplank is the opposite of that. He is a caster. He doesn't auto-attack a lot; most of his damage come from his Q and his barrels. He usually auto-attacks only to activate his passive as auto-attacking for Gangplank is risky most of time and he is better off spamming Q and his barrels. As such, there is not much point in stacking attack speed, he needs cooldown reduction more, which is exactly what he gets when building Triforce and other possible items like Ionian Boots (I also use CDR blues on GP).
The problem is that unlike other AD casters, Gangplank needs to stack crit. Yes, Gangplank can be built critless. An armor penetration based build isn't out of question; 
the possiblities are numerous. The problem with such build is that it falls off late game in terms of damage due to lack of crits. Unless Gangplank manages to hit every barrel (which will not be realistically possible) he is not going to do a lot of damage even to squishy targets. He really needs crit so that his Q and his autos can scale against every target, not just squishies. Even his barrels do a lot more damage if Gangplank has crit chance. Also, without crit chance, Gangplank cannot waveclear properly at late game.
The problem with that? Well, other than 
and 
there are no crit items with AD, other than 
which is only avaliable to alternative maps like Twisted Treeline and Crystal Scar. Most crit items are attack speed items. When purchasing attack speed items for Gangplank, it always feel like you are putting the attack speed to waste, but Gangplank still needs that valuable 30% critical strike chance.
I've even tried to build two but this is stil an awkward way to build Gangplank. It would be really good if Riot either removed Gangplank's reliance on Trinity Force, or if they gave him better synergy with pure AD/armor penetration/CDR builds, or if they just introduced more non-AS crit items.
Back then, this wasn't a problem because Trinity Force had crit. As long as this doesn't happen, I would ask, which build is the best for Gangplank currently?
-
(yes, two infinity edges) then one of those items: 
(other more situtional items: 
) - Same as the above build, except that instead of using two Infinity Edges, I purchase only one, and buy a Statikk Shiv instead of the other infintiy Edge. This gives Gangplank 10% more crit chance and a good passive lighting effect, but gives him less AD.
- Just building critless:
