good point i see where u coming from with the malady, i always wanted to integrate some a/s into the build somehow, but it seems like it disrupts the build since its so cost intensive.
thoughts?

Not a bad build. I play AP Irelia as well (no one seems to do this for some reason) and I believe that AP is the best way to go. Although I suggest throwing in some AS and "On-Hit" items too. Malady is perfect for her. Reason I say this is so that after you throw you E nuke you have something you can still do. Activate W Hiton Style and with that, high AS, normal auto attack and Malady you can still bring someone down fairly quickly. Overall good build though.
