With one of those you already have like 1.50 as, isn't it better to buy something like essence reaver so you get ad, cdr and reach 70% crit without any runes? Cause you're not really gonna be basic attacking people to death in tfs as GP isn't too tanky, and it gives your barrels the same crit and more damage.
They might be trying out what NB3 did on rengar. PD-Statik-IE.
3698 PM me if you want to see a secret.
PD for the passive damage reduction, shiv for the extra mix of damage type, both for movespeed.
GP isn't just crits, but quickly managing a reproc of your passive with proper barrel usage. Relying on a one-shot wonderbarrel would use higher AD for greater return on the crits, but getting the higher attack speed from multiple zeal paths makes your autos faster, meaning it's less likely somebody will last hit your barrels instead of you, and you can do passive proc, auto barrel, passive proc for a lot of true damage, plus the crits, plus the stattik magic crit. Which provides full damage variety in a burst of damage, making it harder to mitigate than if you went for the wonderbarrel.
