Is the new bruiser items good on Gangplank or is glasscannon still superior?

I have been aiming for a more bruiser build rather than glasscannon GP and honestly it seems quite fun and it felt kinda a strong.

This has been my goal item 3078 item 3748 item 3742 item 3065 item 3053 item 1330 (order of items may be varied)

I haven't reached full build yet in my games, but I think this build has alot of potentional even tough GP isnt the top Steraks user(in terms of base AD), but it gives him high survivability and time use his amazing oranges.

While item 3742 and item 3748 don't amplify barrel damage I feel it gives power to his Q if he chooses to directly poke his opponent and since you can last hit with barrels you can retain the movement speed of item 3742 forever.

Not to mention Titanic hydra effectively increases your harras range, by either hitting minions with Q or basic attacks.

Needless to say this GP is more close and personal and is less dependant on barrels and his Q has more more utility in that he can apply a 75% slow and deal a decent chunk of damage because of Titanic hydra and Sheen.

Also if you melee auto barells(when having titanic hydra) you can layer 2 AoE effects on the enemy, because of the hydra cone and the barrel explosion.

What do you guys think?

Mix and matching items is a good way to go, I wouldn't take item 3748, as it does not proc with Parrrlay,(At least last time I checked.) but item 3078 + item 3053 is great along with item 3742, I might still pick up a item 3142 here and there, but thats just me :3

I think it procs on Parrley, but not if you parrley a Barrel, because it seems like the cone will origante from GP meaning you get a cone in whichever direction you faced if you parrley barrels

Yeah that's what I meant, which is why I tend to take other items, and not item 3748, but I suppose the damage scaling on health is worth it. I just tend to take other things due to how it procs at your feet, and not from where your Q lands.
