My general progression is IE-PD-LW-BT Is this viable or should I through in a VS instead of waiting later for when im getting bt?

Split push like your life depends on it.

If anyone tries to come for you, hit R and run like a bitch.

Insta-clear minion waves with W and Q after pickaxe.

Sion That strategy sounds familiar. Especially that part about the "R".

If need be, and especially since cinderhulk junglers are on the rise, you can rush Botrk early for sustained fights over PD. It won't give crit chance, but your sustain will be up the butt and your dps (sans crit, of course) will remain relatively the same.

I usually do: item 3031 item 3006 First item 3087 Prefer over PD since Sivir lacks burst damage and it gives slightly more movespeed and improves her already fantastic teamfight damage. You can also sit on avarice for a bit since she's so easy to farm with safely.

I never, ever get lifesteal before these two items other than maybe a second dorans blade. The 2 item power spike above is way too good to delay, even by a vamp scepter.

item 3072 item 3035 Next two items. I usually get BT before LW unless I am against a team with a lot of armor. (EX - Graves + Taric lane, or top and jungle tank)

Progress your build from there, and make sure to try and get LW by the ≈25-30 min mark, and make that a priority item to get after your AS item.

I prefer item 3508 on Sivir, she's just so mana-hungry, and the CDR really pays off.

Honestly I think Essence reaver is just a bait item in general, sure it gives mana but really if you know how to manage your mana pool correctly you don't really need it, not even on Sivir. BT is a much better item because of the shield which can make you a bit tankier and the extra lifesteal

It's not about "knowing how to manage your mana", it's about removing the restrictions on it.

With ER, you can push as hard as you want without having to worry about having enough mana for a fight or getaway. It's also practically the only way to get CDR onto Sivir.

I'd much rather have more durability to be able to deal more damage than some mana and a bit of uneeded cdr

Don't call it "unneeded". 10% off with an infinite supply of mana means more windows of opportunity to use her spells. That's really important considering she has a spell shield and team wide speed boost on long CDs.

CDR = more damage, too.
