Shen masteries (Shen mains come help out a bronzie plz :D )

Wolfess··2 votes·2,203 views

K so I like playing tanky/annoying champions top. Used to be mundo but I've been playing shen lately because I've been trying to improve my global awareness, which honestly I'm pretty bad at, so I can help the team more even if isolated on my little top lane island.

Here's what I currently use as my shen masteries http://i.imgur.com/PZfJ5D8.png

Ive been considering using thunderlord because I hear it's strong, or Windspeaker's blessing because shield/heal buff, though unsure if it would also buff my allies when they heal off of my Q. If it does then that would be pretty awesome since it could let them grab some defensive buffs on top.

Also, does Grasp of the Undying do damage equal to that heal? or does it just heal me for the 3%. As for Strength of the Ages, 300hp sounds nice though it ould require 15 cannon minions which takes a bit and the heal is prety good too, though sounds more like a "we're losing so here's a buff" kinda keystone, which makes it a bit less appealing

Thoughts/tips/etc?

tbh, I use 12/0/18 masteries and I use grasp of the undying. You can win trade with your ki strike ( With The Grasp Proc ) and your Q poke.

Just follow what plat+ players do. Grasp of the undying all the way.

I played Shen as an AP fighter/dualist rather than a tank. I felt that it was rather boring and along the way I've been trying out different builds and would build something like this:

Lichbane Hextech gunblade Sunfire cape Rageblade Boots(whichever) Wits end or static shiv

I would do this if your jungle is a tank otherwise build a rageblade and wits end and the rest defensive items. You'll win trades.

But it all comes down to your playstyle obviously. I wanted to try something different and I found that the build I listed is a lot of fun, because people really don't expect the damage you'll be doing.

If you want to keep playing as a tank I would switch to grasp of the undying. The heal in proc is really usful in trades. Strength of the ages seemed great at first. But then I thought about it regarding a teamfight was turned off by it. I tried it as Nasus and Skarner but I found thunderlords/grasp if the undying is much better.

thanks for the advice everyone :) gona try using Grasp in the next couple shen games I try. Definitely sounds like it's a better laning/trading keystone.
