I wouldn't get it.

Nasus doesn't need the added sustain since he has so much passive life steal.
Health items with defensive stats are going to give you more overall health unless they deal true damage, amd the only true damage you need to worry about as Nasus now a days is Vayne.
If you need a Mega Health item, just get Frozen Mallet since it gives 100 less HP for 30 more attack damage and a passive slow on your main form of damage.

Lifesteal scales with resistances, which makes HP items that come with additional resistance a lot better on him.

Also, Spirit Visage > Banshee's for Nasus.

I typically just get both unless the enemy team is very AD heavy.

item 3047 item 3111 item 3025 item 3065 item 3143 item 3102 item 3075 is a pretty typical build for me.

I'd recommend getting spirit visage over banshee's. I don't really like Warmogs on anyone, but Garen and Volibear personally.

i get warmogs after i buy other items, like almsot last item on nasus. Normal nasus build. You tanky and all that health makes your armor/MR even more worth due to HP increases resistances effectiveness. Also gives 40% CDR when you run 20% starting CDR which i myself like to do.

Nasus item 3111 item 3025 item 3065 item 3143 item 3102 item 3083 (obviously a general build vs Armor/Mr teams)

That's pretty much the same build I use. Only difference is that I usually take Thornmail as my last item to prevent enemies from healing through lifesteal when I fight them when the enemy team has 2+ autoattackers.

I also use Armor Pen marks instead of AD marks. They give really nice damage combined with Sheen, Q stacks, and E's armor reduction.

Games always situational. i grab Thorn over banshee if they have a lot of AD/Autoattacked and with that i sometimes grab ninja tabs if they have alot of auto attack reliant champs due to 10% reduction and just buy elixir for tenacity. But in the end warmogs adds not only a lot of passive healing (from spirit/passive combo when not in combat) but also due to the fact health increases value of resistances.

Oh, not denying that. Building situationally is how tanks and fighters work.

I honestly rarely play tanks but nasus is on of my favorite champions. even if he isn't in my favorite lane or type of role haha.

No trinity force?

Trinity Force provides personal mobility and somewhat improved single-target damage, however Nasus deals a lot of damage even without items. While it can be a nice item, it can leave you a bit squishier that you may like in the mid-game and it provides several stats Nasus doesn't really need at a high cost.

Iceborn Gauntlet provides an AoE slow (for peeling/chasing) and more durability, which can help you survive mid-game fights. You don't really need items to deal damage and Nasus' lifesteal and ultimate increase the value of resistances.

Iceborn Gauntlet and Spirit Visage are good core items when you've started 20% CDR from runes and masteries. They will give you pretty much everything you want on Nasus very early in the game.

adc can buy armor

What does that have to do with Trinity Force vs Iceborn Gauntlet? Neither of them provide armor reduction/penetration and most of your damage will come from Q and R in either case.

KãtãrinãJun 13, 20151 votes

Um no because i can stack Q well enough i don't need it. why would i buy tri over iceborn? i like the AOE slow and it gives armor which im a tank so.
