Typically i get a catalyst for the laning sustain, the build boot of AS, finish the RoA. at this point i am usually able to be quite a threat to the enemy team an dthey tend to keep their distance or run stupidly into me after a bit of feasting i build the necessary death cap. At this point i analyze to see what is going on in the poking before team fights, if i am still pwning i build a lich bane then a nashor's tooth (stinger first) then malady--of course the game NEVER lasts that long. If my life is sucking i'll build more typical with an Abyssal scepter, and a zhonya's hourglass and i may consider a malady if the game lasts that long and my team is making a come back otherwise its an AAS.

In the former situation i use her spells for added damage and poking but the work is done by the passive, in the latter i play more like a typical mage.

NEVER PLAY ORIANNA AS PURE SUPPORT. maybe more like karma...
