start out with either dorans shield, boots or a tome. immediatly rush a revolver, sorc/merc treads dependant on the situation, deathcap, upgrade revolver to WOTA (alot of people do this early, which is a mistake), then go for either rylai´s or zhonya´s (again dependant on the situation. rylais for tankyness and zhonya´s for more AP, armor and a 2 second immobile pool without the damage). from there you should have plenty damage and can go for stuff like FoN.

do not get: WOTA early (explation already stated) Warmogs (simply too expensive and you can only really reap the benefits if you get it early) banshees (1 of the few chars it isnt very useful on. you have pool and hopefully zhonyas to dodge important spells) spirit visage (the only healing it will benefit is the tiny amount from your revolver and the heal from your Q, and you can get a much more useful Rod for the same price). CDR boots (too expensive after their initial price drop. sorcs or mercs are much beneficial).

hopefully you will find his useful.
