Blade of the Ruined King + The Black Cleaver cause it to be significant again, that together with runes and masteries is around 100 bonus AD, so you basically have 210 AD with just those two items, adding in Duskbringer means 265 AD Plus, the passive of Blade of the Ruined King scales with lifesteal so it adds into that, as well as the bonus lifesteal of Blade of the Ruined King adds into the passive strike. That is nowhere near insignificant. And, Black Cleaver shredds the enemy armor, so you get more out of that as well.

So, the lategame scaling would be stronger while earlygame is kinda the same. And lategame is where Nocturne needs his buffs.
