I usually build CC boots, Ghostblade, and BF sword early on. Later on, I build IE and Atmog's. The enemy almost always buys enough armor for Last Whisper, so I get it as my last item. Since Garen cannot use Black Cleaver, Last Whisper is very good for him.

Why do I have this build? Well, he has enough resists already, so give him Atmog's and CC boots for all the tankiness he needs. Ghostblade helps gapclose and lets you DPS while Q and E are on CD, gives crit, builds from gp5 and brutalizer, nice CDR too. IE gives crit dmg and chance, as well as the AD to use it.

I am still stunned at how well Garen scales into late game. His presence is immense, like he is 2-3champs.
