If you are picking Nautilus then you must understand that you will be offloading almost all of your damage requirements to your teammates and that your job is enabling them to dish it out. His damage is unreliable and hard to bring to bear, and I wouldn't advise going offensive on him at all unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that your teammates are 100% useless or you're so far ahead that basically anyone else could get away with it too.

AD is completely useless; he has no AD scalings nor any steroids to take advantage of it. AP is so-so but getting enough of it to make a difference costs a lot of gold that you're not likely to be getting. IMO, the best offensive stats on him are attack speed and magic resistance reduction/penetration.

and are my two main offensive items for Nauti and I almost never go beyond those. is one of his best 'selfish' items because he basically always gets the double burn damage. on him works well enough, but I don't like having to rush it to get most use out of it. is an item I haven't really tried out on him yet, but I've seen it used and it's quite good in spite of him being unable to trigger Spellblade very often. is overkill on him for CC but it's passable for a mix of damage and durability.
