Spirit of the Ancient Golem -> Ninja Tabi -> Wit's End -> Sunfire Cape -> Spirit Visage -> Randuin's Omen or Blade of the Ruined King
You want Wit's instead of BotRK because it's much cheaper, and jungle gold is quite limiting.

Machete+5 potions->Bilgewater Cutlass->Spirit of the Ancient Golem->Spirit Visage->Ninja Tabi->Blade of the Ruined King->Armour Item of Choice->Wit's End
This is the build I normally go with. Early Spirit of the Ancient Golem gives cooldown and tenacity, which means I don't necessarily have to buy Merc Treads and I can opt for other boots. Rushing Bilgewater Cutlass gives extra sustain and the passive helps with ganks. Spirit Visage gives you OP heals and cooldown and magic resist, meaning again you don't have to opt for Merc Treads.
Machete+5 potions->Bilgewater Cutlss->Spirit of the Ancient Golem->Iceborn Gauntlet->Boots->Blade of the Ruined King->Spirit Visage->Ninja Tabi->Wit's End
This is the build I was thinking of changing to, but didn't know if it was better or not: After Spirit of the Ancient Golem, get Iceborn Gauntlet instead of Spirit Visage. This gives slightly less cooldown, but gives you a more reliable slow than the Biglewater active, meaning you can gank better. Also magic resist is less relevant early game, and more prominent late game, so early armour seems better. This means you don't have to get Ninja Tabi right after, and can wait until Tier 2 boots become necessary, and Ninja Tabi adds extra armour to what Iceborn Gauntlet lacks. The only problem with this is a late Spirit Visage might be bad, as the cooldown and heal would be more useful early game, but the magic resist not so much, and the slow from Iceborn Gauntlet makes your unavoidable.
Just want to hear your opinion on whether the second build is better than the first or vice versa, or if my entire build path is bad!
