my naut build is AP Tank. I think AP naut is viable and good, its ult AP hurts and the E actually got on cool quite fast i think, its just a matter of doing things strategically, poke with Q E W combo and  then finish them with another combo, or in a literal confrontation, tank for a while and then juke around to wait for E cool, E's damage can't be ignored mind you

For how the build tend to be(more AP or Tank), it requires the player to see the flow of battle. If the enemy is fed(or so-so like normal) obviously go tankier(warmog, sunfire etc). but if the team have quite the squishes or fighter who concentrate much on dmg, i like to built AP to make sure when i confront them, the damage trade will be even(no one want to be a walking punching bag when alone, mind you) so the enemy knows i pose quite a threat and not just an overly bulky tank without any dmg.

Tanky build : rush philo(obviously), boots(mr or tabi according to situation) and a quick kage pick for extra gold(u can skip it if u want) OR codex(cd reduct and AP is always great) OR the Spirit Stone(this is the better pick between the three if u really need survivality). Then build any tanky items u want, golem spirit etc.

AP tank build : almost the same with Tanky, BUT i make both Kage and Codex(both serve as early AP boost with passive bonus). then see the situation, IF things suddenly turns bad, go tank with SF cape or other giants belt builds to make sure u survive when dealing your AP dmg. Turn the kage to Twin Shadow if you are taking the support(which i do), it will give MR and another CC to your arsenal


 * the key in this build(can be applied at tanky) is the CODEX. if your team are suddenly in a roll and you are rich, but the Large Rod and make DEATHFIRE. deathfire are great now, it deals huge dmg, AND amplify other mgc dmg while giving HUGE AP! with this bad boy you can become The "Assasin Nautilus".

Here's the thing. Q the unfortunate victim, Deathfire him/her, R, and E then W and aa if he is still alive. i know a lot of people will complain that it will make him less tanky because of the cost. but hey! i make it and still be able to tank, if u can't, thats probably bcoz of your runes or master OR the lack of skill(in farming and killing) required to achieve this method. with this build i killed a fed draven in 2 sec, Q,D,R and that gives me about 600 gold for ending his legendary narcism. Seriously with that deadly combo u got, money shortage would be easily covered in no time
