It's true that attack speed is his best scaling for damage, runaan's is one oft he best choices on him as his procst he full damage on his main target and the minimum damage on the other two since his AA is fairly fast at the longest range. However as a Tank/Support he'd benefit from Wit's End (since he has no MR scaling, he'd need the MR it gives, the on-hit would stack with his passive as well).

The problem with bruiser Thresh is the amount of sheer farming and time it takes for it to pick up leaves him underwhelming for a long period, sorta like Nasus only it never pays off in the end. And also makes him fairly Frozen Mallet dependant.

Despite this going Top Thresh and building Wit's and Mallet as a full tank is feasible, just enemies with the ability to deny will shit on him, same with champions who have good sustain, and gapclosers.

All in all my 4 favourite items on him are Mercury, Runic, FM, and Wit's, I only build Runaan on him in PBE cus I can get away with it, in real game's it's too expensive, only for ADC's, and leaves him squishy if rushed.
