Thanks for the tactical discussion about how and when to use Irelia's E to Stun first, and the constant reminder to NOT use the Q to engage, in order to maximize the potential to get an E-Stun, and to save the Q for the chase/escape.
Activating W-Hiten just before running in for an E to duke it out, along with the above pointer, just opened my eyes (last couple of games) to what I had been doing less successfully than I could have done.
Also, I really took to heart the comments about the amazing effect that Attack Speed has on Irelia, and tried building Static Shiv for mid-game damage/farming, then Blade of Ruined King, and immediately noticed a difference in game success.
I am now following those with your recommended Zephr and a defensive based on opponent, like Randuin's, as I had been doing with Fiora, and am now really enjoying successful Irelia dominating late game more than ever.
Would appreciate a look at the difference in using your same strategy, but with Masteries built around Offensive + Runes focusing on Attack Speed, and see what you think.

thats because the mastery points are from old tree :P will change soon

I'm pretty sure you've made a mistake in your masteries, since you cannot put a point into Feast without putting a point into butchery, therefore ruining all the skill tree....

Thank you, this guide is awesome. the only issue I see, and I hate to agree with the guy spamming your wall, is that your masteries don't quite add up. aside from that, very solid guide. I'll upvote if it gets fixed.

Your masteries arent usable
