Why do Nasus players still rush sheen/triforce/ibg. I always max CDR to 40% first. It Maximizes his stacking. Even with the maths Maxing CDR does more DPS than getting Sheen/Triforce. 40% CDR vs 5% CDR is like being able to do 60% more Q's. CDR items also makes Nasus Tanky.

Triforce rush vs CDR rush over a 20 minutes game.

Frozen Heart + Kindle Gem + Runes/Mastery = 40% CDR costs about 3450 gold. = 60-66% more Q hits. Maxing CDR first your Q can be farmed to about 400-450 in 20 minutes. Net about 100-150 more damage in Q. In a fight you'll be able to get an extra Q hit on opponent because you'll dish out 66% more Q's.

Triforce = 3703 gold Adds about 250 Damage per Q. + Runes is a 5% cdr start.

Without CDR your Q is farmed to about 250-300 in 20 minutes. So  you lose out about 100-150 Q stacks. while you gain 250 damage from Triforce So you'll only net about 100 extra damage with triforce vs cdr build. While the CDR build does more 66% more Q hits.

TL;DR CDR does more Damage than Triforce Rush. Get CDR and get stacks.
