Kindred: The last two items

Kindred summoner 4 summoner 11 item 3714 item 3153 item 3085 item 3006

This is the only part of Kindred's build about which I'm fairly confident. The last two items, though, I cannot decide. My choices, for various reasons, are:

item 3035 item 3071 item 3172 item 3072 item 3508 item 3142

I feel like it's important to hit 40% cdr with kindred. So, I could go Cleaver + Ghostblade/zephyr/reaver. However, it could be that reducing armor is, by itself, the most important thing so you can quickly burst down a single target. In that case, it would be much better to go last whisper + ghostblade. That way, you can open with much higher damage, but then you would not have nearly as many W's and E's during a fight. That said, I'm currently leaning towards that as final build:

item 3714 item 3153 item 3085 item 3006 item 3142 item 3035

That gives great armor pen (30 + 35%), decent attack speed plus a good attack speed steroid from ghostblade. It also gives a small amount of crit, which is not very important to her.

On a side note, does anyone know if Wolf's attack speed updates dynamically? Should I ghostblade before I cast W or can it be cast during and still improve his DPS?

Kindred doesnt need cdr at al Cause if u w it lowers q to 2sec if you 40cdr q wil stil be 2sec

Warrriors vs sated devourer i use to say sated devourer all the way, because im a fairly goos jg and its easy for me to steal me some stacks but one game a ww actualy put me in my place and didnt allow me to get anny stacks

so i think if u manage to get 2/3stacks before your first back get devourer if not get warriors next botrk

from here i usualy like bc and another armor pen item

CDR is amazingly important on kindred. As you pointed out, during W, her Q is on a 2s cd. But W has a 14 second cooldown, so you really want to bring that down to 8.4s. Second, her primary damage vs big targets is her E. The CD on that can be brought down to 7.2s.

personally i build item 3071 in place of item 3085. the armor shred and health are more useful in my opinion. Lastly i normally grab myself a item 3026

diving in for a suicide with it, normally gets the other team to blow a fair number of important cool-downs, and with my team right behind me when i get back into the fight i have my ult to push the trade in our favor. It turns what they thought was a pick into a hilarious turn
