the thing is, you never want more than one phantom dancer on trist, or much of any other AS item on her for that

the only reason you should be getting more AS other than a PD is to gain more attack damage or arpen (such as black cleaver)

tristana's Q allows her to build even more damage than the average carry because she doesn't need as much AS on items to have a high AS

more damage is much more valuable than AS when you have a 90% AS steroid

in 5v5s, there's a lot more that can be used to focus you down and kill you, so you're gonna need some sustain as someone else mentioned

my end build as trist

Serks/MTreds - IE - PD - BT - BT/BC - BT/BC/GA (the last two slots will not have the same item)

MTreds - Mercury Treds (they give you some magic resist [mres] and tenacity - tenacity lowers the durations of slows, stuns, and any other form of CC [crowd control]

IE - Infinity Edge

PD - Phantom Dancer

BT - Bloodthirster - one of the best items out there for an AD carry - you can gain stacks onto this item for every minion/monster kill, and you can have up to 40 bonus AD and 8 bonus lifesteal - with the item's stats and max stacks, you get 100 AD and 20% lifesteal from one BT

BC - Black Cleaver - this item is for when your enemy team isn't building all too much armor - BC can lower their armor so that you deal maximum damage instead of having it reduced by at least 100

GA - Guardian Angel - this is a very fun item - when you die, you revive on the spot without actually "dying" (so no enemy kill) - there's a 5 minute cooldown on the item, but the effect is very worth it - with your lifesteal and damage by the time you build this, you should be able to outsustain someone if you've already died dealing some damage - guardian angel also gives you some magic resist and armor, which is a fantastic plus

if the enemy team all have armor, you need a last whisper - it gives you 40% armor penetration, so only 60% of their armor is effective - if they all have lots of armor, this is a big difference in your damage

well, i love trist, and her ability to jump around and push people away or secure kills with her ult allows me to be a huge threat as trist, cause she is a hyper carry late game

always remember, her W (jump) refreshes on any kill or assist
