you need flat armor yellows (survivability) and flat AP quints (lets you clear wraiths quick with saplings), you don't NEED attack speed reds but they do help your clear speed and help you proc your passive all game. Blues can be what tickles your fancy.

do first item rejuv pendant and health pot (don't need cloth armor 5 pots), I like to start wraiths (sapling at 1:05, throw a 2nd, then 3rd at 1:40) then run to blue, wolves, back to wraiths, red, golems, wraiths then wolves and you should have enough gold for philo and boots. Then gank to your heart's content! Happy hunting.
