As I said: top, I take both, Philo and mostly HoG as well. As a support, I often get Philo as well, as I said before and that's mostly it unless I think about buying Randuin's or Solari (they happen to be part of my build if in all the cases that I end with buying HoG).

Soul Shroud depends on your playstyle, if you ask me. If youn think you need to get more from Mao's passive plus have a mana-hungry carry, then get it.

I personally don't get it on Mao since I can get more and enough mana from Chalice plus CDR and tankiness from Frozen Heart, which is a core item on my tanks.
