Pros: amazing late game. When I am able to complete this build, I almost never lose the game. With all that lifesteal, attack damage, and attack speed, it's almost impossible to kill you. Also, the runes used help avoid mana starvation.

Cons: Extremely expensive. Unless you farm very well the entire game, you probably won't be able to complete. Also, Extremely weak against cc. Doesn't matter how much health you recover per hit if you can't land any hits, and cleanse takes quite some time to recharge.

Freaking do it! use Ravenous Hydra's passive and active AoE damage along with the shield to rake in the minions. This will not only give massive gold and exp, but will also give permanent health with enrage. (again making late game great)

One thing to remember is taht this build works for ME. that means that it is designed around my play style. This may not work for everyone.
