I have a blast when I'm playing as Fiddlesticks (Though he's my main, so it may be just a liiiiitle bias~) in the bot lane, though I build as much damage as possible. Fiddlesticks' scaling is .45 all around the board, and unless he builds that early damage, he only gets his Silence and his Fear as his trump cards.

That said, I play Fiddlesticks in a way similar to most of the others here (Maxing R->E->Q->W, only due to Drain allowing me to keep the pressure on with little-to-no recalls, as I'm one of the few people who genuinely loves to run Clarity.). Starting with Boots, one Health Potion and Two Mana Potions on 9/0/21, rarely differing, but may depend on the enemy team's composition. (I truly believe that Fiddle's Fear allows him to counter jungle ganks, but I will pick one up in place of one HPo/Mpo if I'm doing Solo Queue.) Building a Rabadon's gives me an early edge, then following with Zhonya's and Visage (To increase Armor/MR, along with providing a sweet Drain advantage and Crowstasis~), then building Rylai's and Liandry's for Health/AP toward the end. I may build Rylai's before Zhonya's if they have some huge Movement Speed or escapes that my ADC can't cater for.

I'll also build Eleisa's if I've died at least twice before getting Needlessly Large Rod as my first item after boots. My boots are almost always Sorcerer's Shoes, with very little differentiation.

But those are just my two cents. ^.^
