This build is OK. He doesn't specify marks, but I assume he meant AD. Instead of armor pen, it's much better to run either AS or AD. Armor pen doesn't so as much for you, hell i'd rather run Armor or MR quints over that. Masteries are OK, primarily you should know when Feast is better than Double-edged sword, and also that Insight is 100x better than Perserverance. Darius may have the 2nd highest health regen in the game, but Insight is way too good to pass up. I respect strength as a keystone, but make sure you know when it's better to take either Grasp or Stormraider's. For the items, not too sure how he can say Ninja Tabi is core, it is literally the opposite of a core item, there are easily many situations where it's a terrible item. Swiftness boots would be what I consider the "corest" boot option. BC good as always, especially after the buff. DMP really good aswell. Sterak's is OK, but definitely not a core item, usually at this point you'd want to round the build out with SV so you can teamfight without getting blown up by the midlaner. Titanic Hydra is really risky, especially at this point it'll be really late into the game, if I would buy it I would buy it 2nd at the very latest. SV good as always should try to get it earlier. Make sure you know when it's good to buy zzrot, banshee's, death's dance, these items are really good in certain situations. On a side note, he usually gets a 2nd point in Q at level 3? Should try to have all your abilites by 3 90% of the time, also starting W is really good in a lot of melee matchups, and when you're against a ranged with no gap closer.
