Pros and Cons
Pros
Global ultimate and AoE team steroid.
Scales well with items.
Can get extra gold with Parrrley
Is able to perma slow a target after a few auto attacks and a Parrley.
ganplank is one of my favorite champs to play. But I don't understand why there isn't a critplank build. He can do amazing damage and I don't feel this takes advantage of that. Am I missing something? I am fairly new to the game. (5 months).
On the 'Rune, Masteries and Summoner Spells' page, there are no mastery points in the boxes
Anyway fantastic guide. I've only recently picked up GP, but find him hard in the top lane. He is an excellent jungler, able to go 1v1 with some of the squishier junglers, and he also has quite a big lane presence in the early game.
I myself go a 0/21/9 setup, but that's just me. If you are snowballing out of control I find it very good to pick up the latter of the 2 phage builds after you have build the first. The perma-slow is always good and you deal so much damage with a t-forced Q crit :3
I've tried this set of masteries and it's worked pretty well for me, but I still prefer 0/21/9 or 9/21/9 personally. When I'm jungling, I typically find myself not being able to farm well enough to become an actual carrying bruiser, so I do this utility bruiser thing with HoG, Phage and Aegis which is actually kind of weird for GP who scales so very well with damage, but it works out.

Posted 12/6/2012 12:38:13 AMYou go for the 9/21/0 instead of 0/21/9 because gives you option to go exhuast and you 100% need the armor pen.
