Umm. Let me think. You could try other items for facing certain opponents. You could buy Liandries Torment. Extra health and because you deal slows onto people with the Q you can get the double damage. Also something of note. Frost Queen's activate damage counts and also gets the double damage bonus from Liandries.

If you are having trouble with mages you can get Abyssal Scepter. Magic resistance. Lowering their magic resistance. The aura just covers the distance you can make when targetting an opponent.

If you are in need of more Armor there is Iceborn Gauntlet. It's slightly more affordable to buy now and extra mana doesn't hurt but what you could also buy if you are making enough money to afford that is to get Rylai's Crystal scepter. It would improve kiting a little more than just Q alone although you won't get the full slow on E you will get the full slow on Q which can be effective.

Last two items are purely offensive with not a lot of utilty for other people to expand upon and will be hard to employ before late game. Seraph's Embrace and Lich Bane. Lich Bane has nice Synergy with Kayle's kit giving her bonus damage for just turning on the E. It now bulds from Aether Wisp and Sheen. Aether Wisp is pretty easy to build but you'll be sitting on until you get 2,050 gold. If you get Sheen and Aether Wisp it's 850 to buy Lich bane but requires two slots occupied of course.

Archangels Staff is sort of the odd choice but ideally you can get a tear in early game and with you constantly using E and other spells you could get it to where you want it by late mid game or just late game. If not Archangels staff is still good and when it does turn into Seraphs it's a personal shield you could activate for certain clutch plays. It gains AP based on your mana pool and excluding how much mana you naturally gain it will come around to 90 AP.

Building with tear alone it will cost 2000 but with a blasting wand it will come around 1,140.

So those are some other options. We sort of fluctuated from being below or above the setup previously mentioned. Depending on the situation you could shuffle some of those items to get a certain result. Rylai's and Liandries are kindred spirits and you could possibly burn more damage into a target than you would with some other choices. If you really want Seraph's Embrace any item with flat extra mana to offer is great as well. Don't forget the power of runes and masteries when thinking about how the items should be optimized.
