TriForce/Edge is fine, TriForce/Mallet is not.

Shaco is an assassin, not a freaking DPS Carry, Phantom Dancer only helps your Clone and Trinity Force would be better in almost every single way.

Why?

Trinity Force gives less crit and atk speed, sure, whatever, but it gives you another onhit slow which can mean landing a kill or the enemy carry escapes because they CC'ed you. The Sheen proc WILL crit for the extra Q+IE dmg, letting you Q autoattack E and kill the enemy carry during that late game.

The reason he's called 'bad' late game is because people build Phantom Dancer way too much on him, and believe me, I've TRIED Phantom Dancer and it's a lot of Gold for little profit, whereas Shaco can use Trinity Force to basically its full potential and is more than happy to abuse it.

My build is -- Wriggle's (Replace with Bloodthirster for full build), Boots (Usually Mobility), Infinity Edge, Trinity Force, Last Whisper, Situational DPS-tanky item (Often times Maw of Malmortimus because of some caster like Karthus)

E will literally do 500+ dmg. Q crit for 1.5k, autoattack crit for 1.1k, you carry harder than Vayne if they don't stop you from killing their carries.
