Thoughts on my new Build?
Since Duskblade has been (over)buffed, it seems like a pretty good item for Garen. I've been trying it as a rush item, replacing Ghostblade (also still a good 1st item). My build has been something like this:
vs Squishy team
Duskblade -> Deadmans -> Ghostblade -> Cowl/Hex if needed -> Sterakks if needed -> Black Cleaver
Now, I rush the Duskblade for the pure damage it gives me in lane. I can walk into a brush, come out and fuck their whole life up. I can pretend to roam, wait in river brush and murder them, etc. DMP is just core for mobility. Ghostblade gives me that sweet gap-close and lethality. I add cleaver on the end where some might prefer Triforce. I think the fact that your spin gives you the rageboost with Cleaver, but not with Triforce just makes it more appealing to me. It also shreds base armour, so you are dealing true damage basically.
Vs tanky team
Duskblade -> DMP -> Cleaver -> Visage if needed -> GA if needed -> Either go tankier if losing or damage if winning
The idea here is that I still want to fuck people up in early/midgame with dusk, but I need an earlier cleaver for shredding tanks. Then I want to get some tank stats so I can survive since I won't be bursting anyone, then it just depends how things are going.
How do you guys feel about Duskblade? I've done like 3 games now rushing it, and I murdered everyone.
