@Simoncr1s : The calculation was based on 2 observations:

1/ Kayle's E procs DFT as "AoE" effect

2/ Another proc will refresh the DoT damage

So the dmg each proc will be 3 (+10% AP)(+25% bonusAD) in 1.5s. In other words 2 (+6.66%AP) (+16.66% bonusAD) in 1s. Typically an AP build only has +10AD/18lv from mastery, so when she has 100AP a proc will cause ~13.5 magic damage in 1.5s which is 9 DPS ~ 9% AP. When she has 200AP a proc will cause ~25 magic damage in 1.5s which is 16.6 DPS ~ 8.3% AP, etc...

@TwistedM : In S5 I prefer AS AP builds as well, but the AS items got nerfed along with the AP items. Before, we has Nashor, Devourer, Zephyr, Wit's End which is all +50% AS, and Runaan +70% AS. Now only Guinsoo's blade can surpass 50% at full stacks, but its price just got nerfed in 5.23 which is significant. Nashor is still intact but Zephyr was removed, WitEnd and Devourer got nerfed AS with higher prices! Runaan got nerfed AS and the bolt range (this 'undocumented nerf', as known as 'ninja nerf', is so annoying) ; meanwhile its crits favours AD builds than Kayle builds.

Hence I doubt the AS builds is still strong. I'm trying spellvamp(+lifesteal) builds, and maybe AD items will be more viable. Burst builds are good in laning phase only... I'm afraid Kayle will become trivial again...
