There is no longer a replacement for ionic, attack speed items with no def are not worth it. The build with the little fame that it had is now completely snuffed out. Plus if your comparing the stats of ionic spark by itself to tri force it's obviously shitter. But the fact that it costs pretty much half the gold allows you to have had an almost worthwhile replacement (same def stats and the 50% attack speed plus magic damage is almost the same damage). But the bigger bonus is being able to be 2k ahead in gold. When they start wits already you've already finished it etc.
