The RIOT Act

[Mr. Zhu]

Well lets see... For Nasus Warmogs would be best if he got it early in game.... but THe way I see it(and the way I have interpreted everyones tips... Philo Stone, Sheen(To Trinity) Boots(Which one depends on the situation IE Treads if you are having problems with slows stuns and Magic... or CD boots if not and you want more available chances to get Q). Are 3 of the main Core items, followed by Glacial(To Mallet) and FoN. So that pretty much means Warmogs is taking a backseat to quite a bit and unless you are lucky to have been extremly fed.... Or you have a team capable of handling 4 v5 fights rather well... in which you can get it and even make your Q MORE dangerous... but at the same time... even then... You could be more focused on shredding the waves and removing towers or actually being in the team fight and making things even more easier on the team and also allowing you to kill them all and push for the win.

And Sig for clarification I meant... I grab Sunfire Cape then Atma's and say fuck the Warmogs. Fm and FoN are really all Nasus really needs.. unless theres a few melee idiots then a Thornmail is possible...

There's no set build for EVERY game. Now, I'm gonna come out and lash at CDR boots yet again, because... well... HELL NAW. Ninja Tabi and Merc Treads should be the only two boot you are considering, because CDR have other ways to be made up. Assuming you're building Philo -> Shureylia's, trust that it's a very good and underrated item, that's already 15% CDR. If you build a HoG (which you would want to in a lane of practically complete farm) and build that into a randuin or if you build a frozen heart that's already max CDR. You don't need those boots. For sure though, you want both Philo and HoG there and then you build Sheen.

Sheen is a good item for Nasus in trades against enemy champion. If they insist on harassing you, tag them right back with your sheen, but that's as much as you need in a lane of farm. As Nasus your role is not to be in every team fight, CCing every fucker and keeping people off your carry. You are the one that farms in the background, make appearances in big 5v5 fights, or dragon fights and hang around until you have +300 on your Q. By that time you would already have a shit ton of damage with Sheen, so I never recommend rushing tri-force. I would build Shureylia's before Tri, and then maybe another tanky item, completing Tri-force as a 3rd or 4th item depending how farmed you are in terms of kills that you may have scooped up in lane. Of course if you farm enough and can buy a tri-force straight up, don't hesitate to go for it. But there are other things out there that do a lot of Nasus, he's not just a tri-force machine. If you just build him pure tank, he still does a ton of damage with that Q, the tri-force just puts him even higher on the damage scale.
