I don't know, Stormraiders was good on him, but now that it is not damage based, it is harder for him to proc before people flee (although I suppose you could just barely proc it with a W E R) becuase he used to be able to proc it by Q'ing 2 minions then getting the empowered auto on the enemy champ, and get the speed buff in one hit.

I think what I would take would be a resolve-precision or a resolve-inspiration:

Grasp for the sustain and max health size

Unflinching for the tenacity and slow resist, (or font of life because you should get rylai's),

I think the 5% armor on iron skin applies whenever his abilities do damage (as it generates a shield,) so this may be one of the few circumstances where iron and mirror skin are better than conditioning

And then either conditioning for the max health or revitalize, because his passive's shield scales with heal and shield power, and his W heals him more and his shield generates 10% faster when below 40% hp

Taking precision second I would get:

Triumph, as it increases your ability to resist ganks by focusing one opponent (you heal on killing him and get a ghost to kill the other one with)

and, of course, Coup de Grace as it empowers your ult's ability to finish people off for the ghost

Taking inspiration second, I would get slightly magical footwear for the free boots and increased speed

and also approach velocity, because it is easy to enter fights by casting E or W to damage an enemy champion

However, there is something to be said for taking inspiration as a primary so you can have unsealed spellbook, so that you can ignite-ult for an early kill then back and switch ignite for TP
