I was wondering if anyone's ever done just a straight AD/AS build Kayle and if it's better/comparable to Hybrid/AS build. It seems like it wouldn't be too bad.

These attacks splash, dealing the extra magic damage and a percent of the physical damage to enemies near her target. This splash damage does not affect turrets. (up to 40% Physical and 28 (+0.3 per Ability Power) magical) In a hybrid build, it seems like most of the splash damage would come from the physical part anyway, with a very small amount from the magical. If you just built straight AD, I imagine the 40% physical would be significantly higher and you'd still have AP from 30% of Kayle's attack damage. Does hybrid do more overall splash damage, or does the physical? In addition to that, she hits the main target for her AD anyway and this isn't affected by her AP, plus a bonus % from her Q that is also not affected by her AP. The initial hit from her Q won't be as strong since you're not building AP, but if you're focusing more on the damage from her E attacks anyway, then I don't see that being much of a problem. Her heal obviously won't do as much, though it doesn't have a very high ratio, and again, 30% of her AD will be in her AP, and I feel like if you're building her like this, you won't want her heal for the heal as much as for the speed boost, which won't be affected by AP.

These are just my thoughts though. I've never tried it out. I was just wondering if anyone has anything to contribute to this.
