Rushing a tear then going manamune makes things much, much easier for him.

Items I think are good for him:

Mercs, Tear>Manamune, Catalyst>BV, Atmas, Phage>Trin Force, and a situational tanky to beef up whatever you need last (WM or GA possess good synergy with his kit).

@ Telran: I'm not sure SV is really worth it on him, it'll boost his E... but thats about it. Bloodthirster would be fun, but he needs items that give him better mitigation or mana control.

Some facts to consider about Yorick to plan your playstyle, runes, etc: 1. He scales with AD and HP 2. has some trouble with mana 3. needs to be built tanky due to a lack of hard control, range, burst, and gap closing ability

Some facts about his pets: 1. Their damage scales off of Yoricks AD, and their HP with his 2. They don't last long even when unharmed 3. They don't deal a lot of damage but they do hunt champions far with no range limit 4. They cannot be directly controlled ie Mord's or Shaco's pets

The Revenant clones the target and has about 75% of its AD, using the ult isn't always about the temp rebirth, this pet can deal A LOT of damage. It is a very powerful multipurpose tool that seems to be the crux of wielding Yorick well.
