Rageblade only needs a little bit of AS from another source to be effective, and any AP/AS build is going to have tons of it in the form of Zerk's and Nashor's. Kayle with Zerk's and Rageblade at level 9 takes about five seconds from initial Q + E combo to eight stacks; four seconds if you throw a W in there. Add a Stinger, it only takes four/three seconds to max. AS runes shave another half second off that. Etc. And this ignores situations where you have max stacks anyway, such as when you're in lane fighting creep, or have high CDR in the teamfight phase and can cycle W/E during a standoff.

Fact of the matter is, you have Rageblade after 2235g. Give that money to your lane opponent, and marvel at how little that they can do with it, compared to what you bring to the table even with only a couple of stacks.

Not a required item, but hard to leave it on the table. I rarely jump it for an early Nashor's, which has less offensive power.
