so i did the math on tristana, comparing Infinity Edge, Rabadon's Deathcap, and even Hextech Gunblade to see what they add to her kit. i used the burst rotation of E > 4 Autos > W > R. crits are calculated at % increases in AA DPS, so there is some randomness there. and at the time of posting this, i had 2 items calculated for each build, but the relations between each item was the same.

for the IE, i had added Statik Shiv for it's burst potential over Phantom Dancer. the full rotation did 2872 damage. assuming the shiv DOSN'T crit.

for Deathcap, i added Nashor's Tooth, incliding the 15+(15%AP) ratio. it did 2468 damage

for those still wanting AP, i calculated gunblade into this with it's active and Nashor's Tooth. it did 2546 damage, more than rabadon's, but still less than an IE. assuming no crits, though, Gunblade does the best consistent burst.

so really...if you liked AP tristana for her burst potential before, play her as more of an AD caster with a Shiv and Sorcerer's Shoes ...you'll get the best burst that way.
