I build her with enough HP to get her through what she needs to get through, but that's it. She doesn't need more. If I really need more health than Rod of Ages gives me, then I'll throw a Rylai's on her. I rarely need it, if ever. PvP, I open with boots and 3 health pots (because I'd rather rely on my basic attacks than be dead), rush Rod of Ages, build Liandry's Torment, then the Deathcap, after that, it depends on my needs, but I usually build Deathfire Grasp, Void Staff if I need Magic Pen, and have Sorceror's Shoes usually. If not, I use Boots of Swiftness because movement speed never hurt anyone. I'll replace the Void Staff with Will of the Ancients or Rylai's depending on my needs, because yes, I would rather be killing the opponent than have them killing me. I've gotten a full build PvP twice though. The vast majority of the time, I get maybe three items and boots, so I make the most of it. I try to get as much damage output as possible on her, because she's one of the best 1v1. She needs the damage output, even if her opponent has Magic Resist. The base damage isn't what gets the kills for Elise late game (which I've been saying for a while now is her best game) it's the scaling.
