Okay hear me out, I’ve been testing other lethality builds. I’m no expert so if someone can actually run the damage numbers on me I’d appreciate it. I’ve actually been testing Hubris > lvl2 boots > RFC > Profane Hydra > LDR > Shield Bow. The reason I use hydra is because the amount of stats + lethality and haste. Not only that but it’s AOE passive also works on the secondary hits of smolders Q past 125 stacks. So if you land your Qs right you can hit multiple enemies with multiple splash damages. + the added wave clear helps with stacks.I think all in all it does more damage than shojin, understanding the lack of health. Additionally the shield bow gives you crit chance where as blood thirstir does not which your Q scales more off of critical chance than the extra 25 AD. TBH I think you could switch out shield bow with BT its just a preference thing. I am just assuming with the extra critical chance you are getting more damage over extended fights with autos. I really don’t think Shojin is worth it anymore the amount of damage ramp it gives seemed like to me that it wasn’t worth it and was negligible to more AD and wave clear. But if I plan on going shield now I will take coup de grace vs JOAT rune tree

Elder in 24 min,WHEN YOU'RE AHEAD - it's so late. 36 ability haste in 24 min (26 with situational swiftness), no mana item. This is bad.
