Statikk Shiv vs Phantom Dancer (for Sivir)

I'm just wondering which items to build for Sivir. I typically go . Would it be wise to change this build all together, or just go for Statikk Shiv instead of Phantom Dancer?

It's pretty situational, but generally Pd if you're expecting to 1v1 a lot, otherwise shiv.

Sivir's single target dmg is good, but her aoe is the best. Thats why i like shiv better than pd on her. Pd is good for single target adcs like vayne, cait.

I like sivir's waveclear so i take shyv to maximize my aoe damage.

I find it interesting you go cooldown boots instead of berzerkers. Do you find that spamming skills is more useful than attack speed on her?

Situational.

You buy Shiv for the wave clear and objective based play style, as it's a reeeeeaaaally good safety net during sieges and rushing down waves for your team to advance.

Phantom Dancer is phenomenal for its dueling potential, and in general is the best fighting option in situations where you only need to deal with 1 or maybe 2 people at a time.

Relatedly, the other Zeal items Rapid Fire Cannon and Runaan's Hurricane are great team fighting items. Fire Cannon for the poke and safety, Runaans for the more spread out damage and team fight damage potential.
