After playing him in almost nothing but mirror matchups, I have concluded that once you finish your first core item and shoes, landing your e is quintessential to success, as while you do get small amounts of poke naturally over time, the e w q combo can easily force your opponents out of lane as real damage only comes when you can proc the passive. As for building, I'm thinking archangels staff or Athene's for core depending on the situation (I like archangel but its preference) a liandrys and rabadons is a good followup. The liandry is obvious (slows and DoT), and rabadons works so well with archangel. If you think AP is worthless on him, (I don't think so but whatever) morellonomicon is a great item. I think he really takes some getting used to (plasma fission) but there is some great potential. Also he looks awesome as do all of his particles.
