There simply are a lot better alternatives mobility/damage wise (for mobility you could go shurelia's if you/your team needs the burst ms or Triforce to have constant ms advantage), arpen is very nice to have but its about the only redeeming stat for its price and that alone isn't enough. The cdr is nice for farming, the gp10 buildup too, but that's about it. Several other items provide a fuckton more damage for a little more gold, and others like Triforce offer pretty much all the utility/mobility he could want.

I still believe that Mallet -> IE -> GA is the best build for GP in order to carry. Its just sad that he both loses top so hard to many famous picks AND is so effin vulnerable to ganks.
