I guess he sees that you can DPS pretty decently as Kayle, while not having to be as squishy as other DPS's. Even if you're doing less damage than a "dedicated" DPS, with the W and E skills, there's not an awful lot they can do to stop you.

Also, I will once again personally vouch for Cooldown reduction on Judicator; spamming Reckoning is devastating, her ultimate recharges faster than most naturally, and every second down on the Bubble could get you out of trouble where nothing else could. I find I often can escape even 5 on 1 ganks with little difficulty, or at least leading the enemy team on a wild goose chase through the jungles.

This is thanks in part to the very long duration of Intervention; early game, it's good for healing on lanes, but after about level 6, it's honestly better for the sizable %speed bonus, rather than the regen. On no account can the value of this skill be forgotten!

I'll tell you one thing you probably don't need gear for: attack speed. Her passive makes it scale with level; take some scaling runes, too, and you'll see the "golden flying chainsaw" without needing gear for it.

On the subject of cooldowns, what is the cap on cooldown? I hear it referenced a lot, but I'd like to know how much it is...

By the way, is Sunfire Cape really worth it? I see it's a great health and armor bonus, but the AoE DoT doesn't seem to be all that great... I guess you could push a lane a little faster, but...

Agreed--if it did, I think I'd be almost completely in the AP camp.

You know, Fiendish Codex is a great way to get the best of both worlds... good AP bonus AND large cooldown reduction...

Actually, that would work perfectly! My usual rune/mastery build gets me 20% cooldown reduction (10% from 8 Glyphs and 1 Quint, 10% from the offense and utility masteries), and the 20%(?) from FC would hit the cap. Bubble would last 4 seconds and be on a 12 second recast--you're invulnerable 33% of the time! BWA HA HA!

Anybody know what the AP ratio on Reckoning is? I wanna know just how much it helps... I might be trying this tonight.

Lastly, if not Sunfire Cape, what's the best tanking item? I think Force of Nature is a contender, due to the massive regen and speed bonus, but I don't think it adds health. Warmog's is obviously crazy powerful, but is also crazy expensive. Anything else add worthwhile HP bonus?

Well, Warmog's can become damage, sort of... Atma's Impaler grants a sizeable crit bonus and adds 2% of your max HP to your damage... this usually translates to 50~ish damage, and Warmog's translates to another 18, which is not bad considering the increased survivability. Like I always(?) say, why stack one when you can stack two?

Also, I had no idea AP affected her ult so much O_o but I was actually asking about her Q-skill. Do I have the name wrong?

HOLY **** that's sick. Now I get it... guess I'm sold on AP/cooldown, then.

What items buff AP and HP, if any? We're on to something here...

Judicator's Q spell (her nuke) is 1 : 1 AP scaling. Her ultimate is 1 : .35 though, it just got nerfed in the last patch.

Rod of Ages is a fairly common AP/HP/Mana item.
