I'd like some opinions on solo top Kayle DPS build. I usually open with Boots and pots, then farm my way into a GP10 item (usually HoG) and a BF Sword. Then I buy AS Boots, and a Zeal, finish my Infinity Edge and work on a TriForce. Phantom Dancer comes next although I usually build a Wardens Mail first. Then I complete my Randuins and build a situational MR item (Usually BV, or a Wit's End if I'm doing extremely good). Final build looks something like this:

Beserkers - IE - TriForce - Phantom Dancer - Randuins - BV

Pros:

Insane amount of single target damage with Q and passive;

Strong AoE splash damage with E;

70% crit chance;

Semi-tanky build with every single defence stat covered (HP, MR and Armor, which all combines with Kayle's strong defensive base stats)

Cons:

Stupidly expensive build. Requires godlike farming capacity and lane kills as well;

No ArPen aside from the offensive tree mastery, and passive doesn't really make up for it. Possible solution could be replacing PD for Black Clever, sacrificing some AS and crit chance for more raw damage;

Usually you would want 3 pure defensive items on a solo top if you're not taking defensive boots. But i really don't see a place for GA in this build unless we're replacing BV.
