Hunter's Blessing, Warrior Tabi or Ninja Tabi, Devourer's Gauntlet, Poisoned Star, The Executioner, Deathbringer, Runeforged Hammer. Replace Tabi late with an item of your choice, including Wind, BF, Qin's, Ich, Asi, etc. Most of those items with AS will technically overcap your AS when your steroid is activated, but when it's down, it'll be stronger than no AS. Of those choices, Qin's actually gives you the best DPS against both squishies and tanks.
An alternate direction, delaying Poisoned (which isn't a very strong item right now) would be Hunter's Blessing, Warrior Tabi or Ninja Tabi, Devourer's Gauntlet, Rage, The Executioner, Deathbringer, Runeforged Hammer. Replace Tabi late with Poisoned Star to more easily confirm the Rune passive damage. This build has a better power curve in the mid-game (Rage > PS), and actually has higher DPS than the first build suggestion.
As for the first build suggestion, where is Fail-Not? Runeforged shouldn’t even be in this build, poisoned star functions well without it. Other hunter’s make better use of Runeforged anyway like Cernunnos, Skadi, AMC.
You say "pointless" all the time. It's usually not in the right context.
PS isn't pointless in a build with rage and db. It's maybe not completely optimal, but there's absolutely function to PS with regard to Art and her passive, and to Rune if you have it in the build.
Note I also said functional build if you want to incorporate Rune. Not best. The concept is an OK one and people did in fact use Rune on her earlier in the season when items were balanced differently.
