i play her as a jungler, and i always build offtankish. you get a catch, you annihilate the squishy, and you gotta survive until your team catches up with your play.

if you duel a tank, being offtank is actually really good. your passive allows for continued damage, while your tankiness allows for you to stand up to them for a prolonged amount of time to make good use of it.

my build is:

AP jgl item with blue smite

mpen boots

hourglass

banshees

rabadons deathcap

warmogs.

as you notice most items give AP, but also resistances. her shield give you "artificial" HP, so having resistances is important, and AP makes is scale better, so you are deceptively tanky from early on throughout the midgame. once your enemies understand that you need to be focused down, warmogs is in place for the lategame teamfights, where the enemy teams damage is much higher now, and you need more survivability after a dive.

disclaimer: should your team lack considerable damage, or should your team already have a reliable diver who does the picks, obviously buy different, for example if you need more damage, get a lichbane if it has to be burst damage.
