Build Boots of Lucidity isn't a good option. He would benefit from an Athene's and Nashor rush much better (even if it goes a little over 40% with the offense masteries). Nashor's is a must have for him. His kit is centered around his w and Nashor's takes care of two birds with one stone. Rushing Nashor may or may not be better depending on how well you're using mana. If you're doing okay maybe snag a chalice but Blue Buff should keep you fine. Another bit of info: after some testing today, his minions' attacks are considered spell damage interact with Liandry's and Rylai's but doesn't work with Lich Bane. So don't buy sheen, ever. Please. His early game is really passive. RoA is an okay build, but he doesn't necessarily need it as an "essential" item. An Athene's will do just fine at mid game and landing your e on a champion is fairly difficult so the bonus health shield isn't as prevelant (not to mention the bonus health from Rylai's or Liandry's should be find). I personally don't like using Zhonya's with him. His kit is very dependent on him interacting with his soldiers and that long stasis works against continuously summoning soldiers. I would prefer a Frozen Heart for the armor or Banshee's for survivability. And honestly once he has AUG he doesn't have big mana problems in average fights, whether 1v1s or teamfights.
