Who runs Gunblade on AP Shaco over Nashor's Tooth and why?

Wait what

Do people actually build Nashors on Shaco? That seems pretty pointless to me, you might as well just build an AD item instead at that point and get more value out of it.

nashors is god awful on ap shaco. you aren't wanting to get in and auto a few times. fuck no

you wanna Q in, backstab their squishy, and gunblade+e if needed. They will almost certainly be dead.

Then you ult, hope you don't die, and q out.

GUnblade>nashors by 100000000x

Not to mention with runic echos and gunblade the proc alone is 300 dmg

I build both a lot of the time. AS has synergies with the AD from Gunblade, and the On-Hit effect works on the clone, giving you some free damage even when they know it's the clone and have to avoid attacking it. The combo also helps waveclear and objective damage significantly.

AP shaco is built to maximize burst. Gunblade's hybrid stats benefits his new kit even better (hybrid ratio on Q and E, Q's auto still applies 100% of his AD on top of the bonus damage etc) on top of the active itself.

With Q-Gunblade-E is very high damage all in a very short span of time

Nashor's is a DPS item and if you want DPS you're better off with AD Shaco

nashors helps in farming phase with aa speed. as well as a significant ap boost when sending your decoy and Q E into a full team.
