Here's a better explaination: Mandreds is good against tanky characters. Tanky characters tend to build at least a bit of mr. You have no magic penetration, so the damage from Madreds against the targets it would be more powerful against is mitigated to deal 2.7ish% at-most. Against a 3k hp character that's 81 damage, which happens to be about the same amount as squishies w/o mr. So you're buying 80 magic damage on attacks, 40 damage, 40% attack speed and 25 armor for 3800g. Wits End gives you 40% as, about 30 magic damage on attacks and 30-50 mr for almost half the price. And mr is worth more g than armor. I'd suggest sticking to the ad bruiser suite, anyways. The more synergy, the better.

I like Nash's build suggestions. Also start double doran. I prefer Mallet over TF, but w/e. If you really want to spoil yourself, go ahead and buy the 4k item that gives you 250 hp.
