That's just my preference, but your build works pretty damn well as is.
what a about Rage in kali?
i didn't tried yet but look like a good item for kali
Depends on how you are playing.
I never needed the puri-beads for Kali. She has an awesome Ulti that protects you from all slowing/stunning ultis and pretty much ignores the damage of most ultis.
Kali is not easy to play and there are many ways to play her! Tank, DD, Support (Jungler)... find your own way to play Kali ;)
Kali has a very strong sustain ability with her siphon, yet the first thing you do is buy a heavy hp item. Thus making the siphon heal less vital. Some of your other items have hp in them as well. My reasoning was quite the opposite. If you have a lot of lifesteal, you should get resistances. To decrease incoming damage, and so making your lifesteal more effective. If you heal for say 500 per siphon and you lose 400 from an attack. That stays that way if you get hp, you just have a bigger pool. Now if you get resistances, you can still heal for 500, but only lose 300 from the above mentioned attack? So, a better sustain?
The other items don't really make sense to me either, why so much attack speed. There's nothing wich synchronizes with attackspeed in her kit. Everything scales on damage. Cupid needs attack speed for his passive, artemis so she can crit more. But nothing in kali's kit needs attack speed.
My usual build goes something like this: Warrior tabi/reinforced - executioner ( been looking in Jotunns wrath now as well ) - Deathbringer - Leviathans - witch stone - magi's blessing - maybe a Frostbound to prevent getting burst, maybe a brawlers beatstick or a titans bane
And purification beads, aegis or creeping curse
Some feedback?
Wall of text. tl;dr version : Kali needs damage over attackspeed? ( her W scales 1.5 O.o )and defenses instead of hp?
I tried it. It's very good guide. I all need to master her is play more like an assassin and less like a tank :) I mostly play tanks so I charge in first in team fights withour realize it and die... lol
I will try replace Frostbound Hammer with Executioner and Titan's Bane with some other heavy damage item like Devourer's Gloves or Fatalis. Is this a good idea??? I can build the Devourer's Gloves stacks in no time :)
P.S. I would suggest Heartseeker for those who can keep the stacks up, not die etc. I am not for that items yet.
Never buy fatalis. It is a useless item. You can do much more dps with otheer items.

Instead of soul eater, why not use Ankh of the Golem?
Ankh of the Golem
15% Lifesteal
15% Attack speed
300 Health
PASSIVE - You gain physical power equal to 1.5% of your maximum health.
A nice choice although soul eater gives an aura buff, so i think its kinda of reasonable to either take Ankh or Soul eater both good items, although one is more supportive for a team fight.
