Sigh... more calculations.

Let's assume that we are bursting down a target with 89.5 armor (shaco's base armor).

with my build, armor after lethality=89.5-21(duskblade)-18(youmuu's)-9(the lethality rune)=41.5 armor.

that means it's about 30% damage reduction reduction

with your build, it gets to 10.175 (if you also add youmuus)

that means about 10% damage reduction

so basically.

You get less ad, less potential burst damage, but slightly higher guaranteed burst damage (since it also applies to your e and tiamat damage), better burst against tanks, but worse squishy killing, and severely lower dps due to the several lost crits.

Basically, which one is better depends on the situation. if they have a lot of squishie or if you want to deal higher dps to bruisers that would have high hp but low armor, ie. if they have a tank that you need to be able to deal with it's dominik's. however, you generally just want to nuke squishies.

And, i'm calculating based on level 18 stats, on level 16 %armor pen is a tiny bit weaker.
