Note: I wrote this 3 times now, thanks to the wiki thinking me to be session hi-jacking.

Now, I agree with most of your points. Warrior is a fantastic item on Rek'Sai, and while I do take it as my first item, I do take Tiamat first before completing Warrior.

This gives me faster clear, a little bit of sustain, and an auto reset to take down camps and enemy champions alike. It's just a good dueling item.

Afterwards, I build into Titanic Hydra.

While I did take Sterak's Gage as my third item in this game, I didn't think it was very useful as I was just incredibly squishy and always died in a teamfight.

I think that Randuin's Omen would be better, as it gives you important tank stats and an aoe slow to let you get out of there or stick to priority targets.

I also took Hail of Blades, Cheap Shot, Eyeball Collection and Ravenous Hunter. For the secondary tree, I took Precision with Triumph and Coup De Grace.

Ravenous Hunter and Triumph are especially important for surviving teamfights. As long as you can auto someone with Q, you'll stay alive for a little longer, just enough to ult the adc and possibly win the fight.

If I'm really far ahead, I might take Sterak's Gage just for shits and giggles.

Now for the runes, I actually hate Press the Attack. I don't think it benefits you at all aside from your ult.

This is because when you engage and use your burrowed abilities, you aren't auto attacking so you won't apply PTA. After unburrowing, your Q will be spent on quickly applying the stacks, so only your autos will be doing the increased damage.

You might think your E can benefit from it, but since it deals true damage, its damage can't be amplified by PTA at all. And using it before you reach maximum fury is just dumb.

I think Hail of Blades is a much better rune on Rek'Sai instead. It allows you to quickly apply your empowered autos, and the sooner you stack up rage, the sooner you can use your empowered E.

And finally, I'd like to talk about Trinity Force. Any thoughts on that specific item? Personally, I don't like it, even if 20% is a huge thing to pass. The item is too expensive and only gives damage while you still need tank stats to survive.

I'd much rather keep Titanic Hydra in my core build than take Trinity Force.

Sterak's Gage can probably be my fourth item instead, or if armor shred is needed, Black Cleaver.

I just don't see myself taking Trinity unless I'm crazy fed.
