Ive never ran him top because of mana cost, but i used to main him back in S4 when the feral flare hype was real. I still like to play him but go cinderhulk over devourer, takes to long to ramp up. Skirm>Trailblazer>Stalkers, he has alot to stick with on his target, but if you want sustain or an extra burst of damage/movespeed you could go that. I build him very bruiser, only taking one or two damage items. Blade of the Ruin King is always a go-to item but i dont actually finish it past cutless till 3-4th item. I like to go with an hp item after my cinderhulk/merc treads, Warmogs>Rightous Glory>Randiuns. You can build Spirit Visage>Banshees>Maw for MR, Thornmail is a very trusty Armor item on him, you also could build Frozen Heart if you wanted to but ive always seemed to defult to thornmail. This tanky bruiser build is what ive had the best success with, anytime ive went glass clannon Nocturne ive either snowballed hard, or failed to feel usefull, and i feel it falls off late game, specially with the tank meta in full swing.

This is just *MY* way of playing him and advice, hope it helps you out.
