I start off with boots and hp pots top lane because i find it very helpfull for sustaining your lane being he isn't a big mana user and the speed is nice to chase a champ and jump to them with your E. then to finish the boots for some more speed and the tenacity is nice especially if your ganked. then the phage for some extra hp a little damage and the chance to slow your target is a good way to get some kills, and when you next have to go back if you cant buy the tri force get the sheen for some mana but mainly for its proc because your Q and the sheen proc = massive damage! after the tri force i get a vampiric scepter for some life steal to stay in lane, then go for the giants belt for hp since you are a mellee champ and have to be in the middle for the fight it can keep you alive. then finish the blood thirster for a decent amount of damage and that life steal. then the warmogs so you can sit in the middle of a team fight with your ulti. After that the inf edge for the extra crit chance and massive damage to come with your crits. then the G.A for some extra armor and MR, and then if you die you get that second chance and you might have your moves off cd and be able to get a kill or escape with your decoy.

I start off with nimbus strike when solo top because it can get you to your target( it's a gap closer) and it gives you attack speed and the damage isn't that bad. then i get crushing blow because it hits decent and reduces your targets armor. then decoy to escape or pull off some sort of clever trick. then only one more rank in crushing blow for some more damage when you use the move. then max out nimbus strike because with each level it gives a greater attack speed bonus and damage for if you use it to farm. then crushing blow maxed next because i find it more usefull then maxing decoy as decoy is used most the time just for an escape and not a damage dealer
