(sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Thornmail (Reflects damage and reduces enemy healing).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield). You may want to replace it with Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
