I played around with more offensive items, but atleast in the early game, the damage from tiger stance will be enough. If you feel offensively challenged as the game progresses, you can swap it out. Its a very situational item.

Thanks for the vote xD

Good guide, well explained. I like the item choices, it gives you nice survivability, while still having decent damage output.

I would, however, exchange Spirit Visage for something with more offensive capabilities because the bonus 15% regen isn't very effective with only life-steal as your source of life-gain. Try getting a Bloodthirster instead because this gives more life-steal, but also gives a large amount of damage.
