He can get some pretty gargantuan nuke damage out of his first hit with an AD build, however if he hits anything, even a minion, then it takes 10 seconds for him to charge another one up. I think he synergises far more out of attack speed items than AD items, especially Wit's End.

And also the fact that his Q both locks him out of auto attacking for the duration, is practically useless to dash to the target he hits and has a hefty windup time to render using it as an escape unlikely.

All AD Thresh has going for him is a huge one hit nuke (on short range) and a large on hit depending on how he farms. His ranges are just too short on everything except his Q (which isn't very useful with an AD build).
