chu8 who got himself to play playing mao mid built almost allways RoA and trinity force. ofc you need to lane with him cause you wont get the farm necessary for this items in the jungle.

trinity might seem noob, but actuallythat stats on it that may seem as usless for mao are really helpfull. Mao has one of the highest base damgage in game so the trinity proc does good damage and his low CD spells (mainly Q) allow you to proc frequently. attackspped also may seem bad, but in teamfights when your passive is charged every second, its good to have high attackspeed to proc it. only stat on trinity that is not so usefull for him is crit but hey.... its never bad to crit someone even if the trinity crit is all the crit you have.

After that two items, consider rabadon, GA, abyssal, FH, void
