After tons, and I do mean tons, of effort, I've finally managed to make her work decently well. Considering how much easier the games felt when I wasn't able to pick her, I'm going to say she's still pretty weak right now, but here's waht I've been doing.

To start, take your e level one and just last hit with it, then Q, and try to harrass a bit with q but don't follow up with e unless they've already been poked down a bit, you just don't have the mana for it. Put another point in q level 4, and possibly level 5. Once you have a tear then start putting points into E, because now you can actually use it to harrass without needing to go back to fountain. I wouldn't recommend putting points in q beyond level 7 though, unless you're against an assassin that you just can't safely get into e range of no matter what.

After tear get a rod of ages, because if you aren't at least somewhat tanky you're going lose every trade ever because your sustaiined damage is your only real advantage. Now is when the build gets a little bit strange, turn the tear into an archangels, and if you can't afford it buy some parts to a morellos. Finish the archangels, and get a morellos, and now you'll have around 330 ap, decent hp, enough mana to actually fight, and a huge shield(770 damage shield in my case with max mana).

Next I like Rylais, but I've also gotten zhonya's, or abyssal. It kind of depends on if you really need resists for some specific threat, but usually Rylais is best. Next get either a void staff or rabadons, and after that just grab the one you missed out on in most cases. Sometimes, it can be better to forsake a rabadons or void staff for some other items, the best ones being Frozen heart, Ludens echo, guadian angel, Zhonya's, or Banshee's veil, but that requires reading the game a bit more than most players can correctly do, so if you're unsure just stick to the regular build and you should do fine.

Perhaps a bit quick to call it her best build, but in about 15 ranked games since the rework, it's been by far the easiest to win with, and if you get ahead with this you'll be melting people....although if you're getting ahead with the new Cass then please tell me what you're doing, because stupidity seems to be the only way you'll get any kills early.
