dear mr. mc2147. I totally agree on you build. Wriggle's/Merc's/Youmuu's are core on laning Xin. Also part about AtMog's (I prefer AtMallet) and Infinity/LW/Randuin's in late game. Your runes for Xin is nearly identical as mine (I get 3flatAD quints) also masteries are the same. Your build is super good on Xin in my opinion, probably even perfect for you playstyle. But... your build is even better on other tanky dps for example Wukong. It's all becouse he has got scaling. At lvl1 Nimbus Strike deals as much dmg as Audacious Charge. With items at lvl 5 Nimbus Strike will deal ~3 times Audacious Charge damage (it's physical so its benefits from armpen, has AD scaling). Xin has better speed and cd. But I would say Wukong has 3/4 of Xin's speed in combat (better base speed, 50% instead of 80% on activation). Xin has only better regen and lane pushing speed. He drops so much in dmg after lvl 6. Also if you rely on cooldowns you will be out of mana fast. AD scaling to E is a best treatment to Xin cause it would be less OP than buff to ultimate. Q and W are fine.
