The generally accepted optimal build is: Brutalizer into Youmuu's, boots based on preference (I love CDR), another Brutalizer, then LW, BC, last two optional, I take IE and GA usually, Banshee's or Scimitar if I need it.

I don't really like getting Maw or Hex simply because Talon shouldn't be in a position where he can take retaliation, the only time he would be, when he's super fed or super behind, are when you REALLY need to focus on damage. I like Hydra if the enemy team is squishy however, instead of taking the IE, gives me more AoE to burst multiple people at once.

I never liked Tri either, and I don't see it much, most of its stats are wasted, or just not enough, the Crit, AS, and mana don't really get much use for Talon. The AP is totally wasted, and the AD and HP are minimal gains. The passives are the only useful components of Triforce, and for the losses to other areas, I really don't think they're needed, especially since you can get more damage by buying another AD item so the damage passive is unneeded, and I personally get Youmuu's, rendering the MS passive unneeded as well.
