Yeah as he is now, a build with some decent tankiness that allows him to walk into danger a lot is best... in order to be effective with his turrets, he has to be darting in and out (or waddling in and out anyway...) to place them near enemies during fighting... also it helps for his other abilities too... most of them can't miss if he's very close... and also, baiting is a good strategy with him, however with his slow speed it can go wrong fast, a little extra tankiness really helps... I like starting with Roa, then getting deathcap, then seeing where I am from there, but rylai's is not that bad on him, abyssal scepter, Zhonya's Hourglass of course, even Liandry's mask if I am getting rylais' anyway (Liandry's is actually not bad on him, he can lay down pretty constant poke on a large portion of the enemy team in a teamfight... it adds up, especially if enhanced by Rylai's or his stun or slow... I think warmogs is overkill though, I find that getting the tanky mage items tends to be enough.
