would this weird gangplank build work?

so I was thinking of trying a weird sustain max CDR gp build. Thoughts?

The ap jungle item is really what sets my build apart. I'm getting manamune simply because I need a mana item on gp (one without CDR since jungle item already gives 20%). I'd get trinity force but then I'd have to go trail blazers.

So the idea behind this is mostly trying to capitalize off of spirit visage healing bonus from eating oranges. Also having some ap works well on gp's ult along with max CDR.

Would getting ap masteries be good? Should I get hybrid pen runes or just armorpen?

If i wanted ap gangplank I'd probably build visage with naschors and lich bane and stuff like that...

You generally want some crit chance in your build since Q why not.

Not sure if your build would work though, I am no GP player myself.

The problem with this build is that it is simultaneously pulling in three directions: ad, ap, and tank. I would recommend ditching both Manamune and BotRK as there are so many better alternatives for them for GP. For instance, you might consider rushing a sheen if you are having mana issues early, plus it will help immensely with clears and give you that sheen effect with your q (assuming, haven't checked it). You could then build that into Trinity Force and either start building in Randuin's or another damage (preferably on-hit) item depending on the situation. Going utility is only going to get you so far, you also have to have a build that allows you to do something in teamfights (other than just throwing down your ult).

Abridged: Get item 3078 -> item 3143 / item 3087 item 3074

i think i might go essence reaver trinity force. when you have max cdr you find yourself going out of mana pretty fast. i even tried essence reaver manamune but manamune really eats away at your mana pool.

but ya sheen procs are the way to go. are lifesteal runes worth while? if you have spirit visage. i just wish they'd give essence reaver a bit more lifesteal either 15 or 12% while increase its price point to match that of BT.

Considered item 3025 Instead of Randuin's?

You'll get the slow+sheen proc on your Q, and along with your passive you'd be able to work up a useable slow even without the BotRK active.

It's half as much armor, but it gives some AP, a good amount of mana,with manamune/muramana that's a tirckle of AD. And would add a bit of damage potential.

Rush Sheen, Tear, your jungle item (no idea about order) and you have a flexible core which can go a few different directions.

Where are you getting the last 10% CDR from anyway? I see 20% from Magus enchant and 10% from SV.
