I used this build on Chern last night and went 16/7, but I haven't tested enough games to know if it was the build that was good or team diff.
Tier 2 Boots Rush Start, Then Ninja Tabi, Bloodforge, Executioner, Wind Demon, Deathbringer, Ornate Arrow.
Or, Ninja Tabi, Cowl, Bloodforge, Executioner, Rage, Deathbringer, Hunter's Cowl.
If teammates don't peel for you, I like Poisoned star.
Some quick comments:
The high scaling on his 1 works well in a ability based build, although the high attack speed steroid works well with crit, he could probably go hybrid ability based with crit or just ability based. Then there is also the fact that Living Nightmare procs Heart of Cold for every basic attack within the 6 second buff duration.
Double stacking Devourer's Gauntlet and Transcendence might not be a bad combination for him, probably better for him if he goes mid though if you want to try that (and get's Devourer's Gauntlet first). Most of the time however it definitely is going to be Transcendence for the only stacking item.
Haven't had a chance to play him yet, but from what I have seen he seems average to mediocre. His lategame damage is pretty strong and his Living Nightmare can work well in a 1v1 versus a hunter, but he may have a problem reaching it. Using Living Nightmare can be very risky for aggression, but can be also used for a self-banish, map-awareness, travel to the solo laner to survive if ganked in lane (if they're not ahead or they will demolish you), or counter split-pushing. However, he doesen't have a lot of CC and lacks a great team fighting ultimate like other hunters.
I think I will put Warrior Tabi in build 1 due to having The Crusher and Asi in the build. However if you had to sell Asi for Bloodforge I would definitely want Ninja Tabi instead.
