Mate Sunfiore did nothing here, its the fact that trynamere didn't dodge e and proceeded to get hit by multiple tentacles.

it did 285 dmg so define 'nothing'. but i think you misunderstood the goal of the clip. this is not a 'sunfire might be better than sunder'. the point is that you can take a tank item while still having reliable wave clear and kill threat

Illaoi already has amazing waveclear, full AD or not. I totally respect trying out different builds, but I really doubt sunfire is worth very much. I'll try it out in practice tool, though. You have to remember that fights only last for a few seconds. If anyone stays close to Illaoi during her ult, they're dead anyway, so in any case, the enemy is not close for long enough for Sunfire to have very much of an impact. IMO it's better to build more AD, different (more effective) tanky items, or something that grants some mobility.

there are 2 things i dont fully agree with. amazing waveclear but messy to last hit unless you have stridebraker or trinity for some attack speed. i would have to slow down the clear quite a bit to make sure i dont bleed random cs even if im alone. and second, the fights are fast only if u have ad. if i have sunder and ignite sure, im looking to oneshot when i dive with E ult. without ad you actually use all the uptime from the ult and simply outlast them. surprisingly consistent against bursty stuff like garen or darius.

i've had my share of dmg oriented build, you can see this post that i did here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Illaoi/comments/1raduat/darius_players_are_predictable_with_e/
