Other Items to Consider

Notes Shadowsteel for crit antiheal
Crusher as an alternate of ichiaval
Qin's are good for high hp enemies
Silverbranch for penetration and attack speed if you like that
Executioner to counter tanky builds i guess
Toxic Blade if you want all your basics to antiheal the enemy
Tracendence is a good alternative for starting if you think you could need mana
Bloodforge if you're going in a high damage build is useful

My first ever guide

So, as the title says, it's nmy first guide and these are items that I consider could be useful in this character.
I usually play the carry role, so i'm kinda used to the items a hunter usually have.
Based in the fact that Ishtar's abilities can do the effect of a basic attack my take was on getting a critical based build.
Focusing also in the damage of the basic attack to mantain the damage.

Any comentary or suggestion is welcome.

P.D: I may update the guide if I can play more the character, I have some other ideas for this character, I left some ideas with the items I suggested, but go easy on me as I don't play this game in a competitive way.

P.D.2: Also my English is not my fist language so I apologize for any mistakes in my writting.
