Theorem (Serious)

These items maximize the damage of auto attacks at the price of attack speed. However, attack speed doesn't really matter due to the attack speed buff acquired from your first ability. If you add her attack speed buff with pure power, you get one extremely potent combo. One might think that the build may not work due to the fact that you only get three high speed attacks. Obviously you will do more damage while the first ability is active, but you will still do noteworthy damage to enemies when it is not. Also, the codlin reduction plays a large role in the build because it gives you more frequent escapes for when you are out of position, higher uptime on your first ability, and a shorter cooldown on your fourth ability. That means you can use the stun and gun strategy more often. Feel free to leave comments about other possible items that would optimize damage more effectively. Thanks!
