Pros: - Maintain relatively high damage throughout the entirety of the fight - High sustain throughout the game - Very effective against melee Gods - Fun to play - Works well with most ally Gods for duo'ing - Perfect partner for support |
Cons: - Difficult to maintain sustain against ranged enemies, without careful, tactical play - Slow speed early game - Against high burst damage enemies, very reliant on stuns |
Death's Toll Allows you to have some viable sustain early on in the game, whether it be 1v1 or conquest, you will need this if you want to keep poking your enemy as well as maintaining your health and mana. It also provides a nice amount of damage, as it should be bought at the same time as level one 
Tabi
Tabi should be bought in conjunction with Death's Toll to maximise your early game damage. Proceeding to max it out to Warrior Tabi as soon as possible maintains the damage you can dish out with its power and penetration, but also increases your move and attack speed a little, allowing for easier pokes and dodges, while maintaining your sustain from Death's Toll with the extra speed.
72 Transformations to provide a stun if the enemy makes an attack, or to launch an attack on them, it is VERY helpful to have Fist of the Gods in order to stun lock during a hard assault on them, or to follow up on a failed Tiger stun. For me, this active is invaluable to a sustain build for 
Sun Wukong as it helps for maximum damage potential at minimal risk, as well as providing more escapability.
Qin's Blades are pretty awesome, what makes this item invaluable is the passive effect, dealing damage equal to 4% of an enemy God's maximum HP. This speaks for itself, it's great, and a brilliant way to really annoy tanks too :D Qin's Blades, feel free to use 
Qin's Sais, they don't appear to do much to a full health target, but as their health dwindles, your damage goes through the roof. This is very effective against enemies that have a knack for escaping with low HP.
Runic Shield, but you will lose the CD reduction. However, if you are against magical (or physical) and DON'T need the extra defense, I strongly recommend 
Jotunn's Wrath for it's power and penetration on top of it's CD reduction. The mana doesn't hurt either :)
Deathbringer/
Rage combo. it is not needed on Wukong, his passive more than makes up for it and you will find yourself critting far more often than if you had that combo. Death's Toll. There is a nice selection of items that fit well with the build:
Great for (obviously) it's incredible lifesteal, but it also provides a very respectable 40 power. at the 5th stack of this you can be looking at 100-150 health per hit with this.
Chang'e, 
Hel or 
Aphrodite
Don't need anymore lifesteal and can afford to lose the 5 from Death's Toll? Fine, go with some incredibly good attack peed and movement speed. Allowing for faster heals from your current lifesteal and better escape/chase potential.
Arguably better than 
Fatalis, because of the lifesteal and penetration, and the passive providing even more lifesteal in a pinch. It lacks the movement speed of the Fatalis so it's a choice you have to make yourself :)
Considering the high sustain from this build, provided you don't need the lifesteal, 
Heartseeker is a brilliant choice to maximise damage. This is due to its passive; while the move speed and power are mediocre at best, Heartseeker's passive is what really makes it shine with this sustain. As with Devourer's Gloves you should rarely see less than maximum stacks on this item, increasing your damage exponentially by turning a 25 power item effectively into a 75 power item.
Freya's Ult, 
Aegis Amulet is a sure way to shrug it off completely. Same can be said of many other Gods)
The Magic Cudgel for poking the enemy. While it provides a great wave clearing skill, it starts with VERY high damage, with a fairly decent cooldown. When possible, try to get creep in the hitbox too, to maximise it's effectiveness. The Magic Cudgel, be mindful of the creep, as at lower levels, they freaking hurt. After poking, I suggest running to group with your own creep, then initiating combat with their's once they are aggro'd on yours. This way you're staying out of harm's way as much as possible, while using the creep to heal you. Master's Will to send them into the air, retreat slightly before turning and throwing a The Magic Cudgel at their face. This should spur them into retreating. If it doesn't, use 72 Transformations and Tiger form to stun them before proceeding to kill them (most likely with the aid of your creep if they have pushed through]]. 72 Transformations and heal up at your base. Somersault Cloud for a free heal and a decoy that will damage them. Jump down once healed and continue attacking or retreating Fist of the Gods, you should be in a position where you no longer have to wait for a creep on creep battle to heal, and the pace will speed up, i adivse using Fist of the Gods after your tiger form stun and preferably only initiating the fight with stun when the creep are a little away from you, so you can guarantee your stun, auto attack them down, use your Master's Will to knock them up, disabling them further before activating your Fist of the Gods for another stun and some auto attacks, mix in your The Magic Cudgel for damage spikes and they should be dead. 72 Transformations on one and your Fist of the Gods on the other (In conquest or even 3v3). Your auto attack damage should dish out a whole load of damage at end game, allowing for quick, effective kills. Sun Wukong is a good lane partner for most anybody else.
Aphrodite is a brilliant partner to lane with for her additional stun, her doves for heals and extra damage, and the damage buff she can apply to you.
Chang'e is another effective partner, again due to her additional stun, but also for her capacity to increase your defenses and heals of course. Sun Wukong works exceptionally well with any slowing/CC'ing god. A partner that can disable, root or slow your enemy is perfect for saving Wukong's easily utilised CC's for the crucial moment.
Chronos is effective thanks to his excessive ability to stun and slow. His ultimate provides a great basis for using him as bait.
Artemis would not be my personal first choice for a partner, but I have seen her used effectively alongside Wukong, due to her ultimate providing her with immunity to CC and stunning enemies around you, and her traps acting as roots (if triggered) and wards (saving gold).
Sobek provides some excellent synergistic scenarios with his 
Charge Prey and 
Tail Whip providing almost duplicate effects to your own abilities, with the exception that his will bring the enemy closer to you.
Or you could not take the easy way out and work out your own kickass combos ;) Click to see mine
Sun Wukong as a sustain, is not to be too ballsy early game. While he is a God that can definitely handle the aggression early on, it isn't wise, because if your opponent manages to escape, you can bet your *** that he has a way of healing, which leaves you to play very carefully against creep, or be forced to [VCB]Return to base!

its pretty much tough build.
However, it IS called a guide and I would feel like I was stomping all over people's creativity if I added every suggestion that would work well in this :D
Your input has been greatly appreciated :D
Yes Grimskull, I'm a fairly quick learner :P Definitely a little excessive, but it seemed a good idea at the time xD That's a fair point, and if I get over this absolutely shattered, after-work, feeling, I may just add in a section like that :)
(Oh dear... Mazximise ftw >.>)
[EDIT] Okay that feeling wore off rather quickly, and I took your advice Grim, but I did hide it in a spoiler box (Gotta give people the chance to ignore my combo's and try their own)
I wish I could double up vote a guide. If you still want to improve, you could make a skills chapter to detail the different abilities and possible combo's. You referenced me as well, that's classic. My hat's of for you sir! Congratulations on a great first guide!
(there's a typo in your description of
Well yes xD Rage/Deathbringer is nrmally sweet, but why bother with that much crit (on top of defenses) after 50% xD
I suppose it could be one to swap for the
[Added some more BB coding, but now I think I've gone overboard xD Tried to colour code the various aspects of the build]
Now the good stuff: This is one of the few builds I have read that actually has some very good reasoning behind it. You used your brains and it's noticeable. Especially not getting rage because you already have Wukong's passive is pure genius.
Also, I think
great guide, the build alone deserves an up vote (just add some more BB coding)
