So far, I'm building her as an AD caster rather than an AD carry. I don't like the latter because, well, although she has ranged harrasment and a defensive ability, she has no CC neither a gap closer, and personally I like carries with 3/4 of those requeriments. On the other hand, going as an AD caster is not working bad for me, except for one time where I had to lane with a first-timer Thresh.

My build goes as this: Start Sapphire crystal+3 Health pots, rush Tear of the goddess, and leave it as that until it's almost fully stacked. Then I get in this order: Ionian boots of ludicity > The brutalizer > Glacial shroud > Iceborn gauntlet -Usually after this it's time to upgrade the Tear into Manamune- > The black cleaver. 40% CDR, with Iceborn proc and Muramana extra damage has worked well for me (Tons of damage with E at 1.8 segs CD), at least for now. I would like to throw an early Vampiric scepter there, but I feel it slows my itemization. Regardless, the last two items usually are two Bloodthirsters, but depending on the enemy comp I'll consider getting others. For example, if the enemy team comp is stacking too much Health, I get a Blade of the ruined king instead of one of the BT's, then if they're stacking too much armor I'll get a Last whisper instead of one of the BT's, so my two final items can be BT+BT, BT+BotRK, BT+LW, or BotRK+LW. However, given that I'm already getting some armor from Iceborn gauntlet, and that AD casters tend to fall lategame, I'm thinking about dropping the LW idea and get a Maw of Malmortius, so I can balance a bit my defenses.

I just position myself for dealing as much damage as possible with Q, and land as many E's as I can (Iceborn gauntlet synergizes great with Sivir's innate), pop shield when required. If I'm going to be left behind when chasing someone, or if I'm in a teamfight, I pop my ult.

Thoughts?
