This build focuses on and utilizes the fact that his passive life steal stacks with item life steal and that the Q works with Tiamats aoe.

So in short ull get a tanky dps u cant quite ignore in group battles.

whatever u want

What works for u ( ima noob in runes and masteries so i dont even bother recommending stuff :P )

First 3 items to get u started.
I chose berserker boots for that little extra dps ull desperately need early game for ganking and farming creeps.
Tiamat works great with Q and spirit fire to clear creep waves in seconds.
Starks fevor couse u work best in groups + it gives a bit of extra dps with its attack speed and armor reduction.
Thronmail ah yes nothing better out there to give u the edge in case of a fierce 1v1 melee brawl.
And to finish it of Force of Nature jummy +move speed, massive health regen and of course the much needed magic resist, that concludes the main build.
The last one, if u ever get there ( it happens now and then ), either dps or hp depending on the situation.

This is assuming u dont solo >.>
Wither can get u a first blood with a skilled partner and a well timed summoner spell :)

Spirit fire is constantly over and underestimated it awesome to poke, annoy, keep caster / ranged at bay, push back creeps and turn the tide. Nobody likes to stand in in so use it to push and direct players to were u want them. U lvl it first couse it can really hurt early game but is more or less useless late game so utelise it while u can

Dont need to explain Siphoning strike.

This build works very well with the ulty couse u got the tank to jump into the middle of a fight and charge up up damage and u got enough attack speed to utilize it well.

Just remember thx to Tiamat+Ulty ul a aoe dps machine( even if its just a small area ) so dont be afraid and jump right into the middle.

Ah yes couse this relies on life steal stunns are ur wost enemy be careful.
