Has anybody tried a bruiser build on him. I would get (in no particular order as any game can make me change what goes where and a few of the items) boots (merc or tabi), tri force, warmogs, atmas (still a decent item with his use of armor), malmortius (good mr and decent damage), and really any of the BF sword items i guess. Gives pretty decent survivability and a surprising amount of damage because of the 40% AD buff on his W. I haven't really tried this in a game but I see no reason why it couldn't work with the right team comp because the solo top is usually an AD bruiser to begin with. Thoughts?

Oh and I might throw in an early philo stone (to be sold later at a minor profit) for mana fixing problems gp5 and just because I think it works well to help people sustain better into early mid game. This depends on how your farm goes in the beginning though. I would generally start with a regrowth pendant if going for this build because if need be it can either go towards a philo stone (if your farm works out) oryour warmogs if not. Definitely wouldn't get tied to anything particular because who can predict that AD carry going 6-1 at ten minutes.
