We all know the usual... Cleaver/Infinity/Etc, but what do you pick as your starter item? Boots? Meki? Lifesteal?

I'm kind of torn between philospher build, and getting lifesteal. I went meki+rejuv for philo, but the enemy ashe pwned pretty good with soulstealer early on.

I personally like Meki Pendant for allowing me to stay in lane longer to start while being able to be a bit spammy with Volley. This I turn into a Chalice for some much needed magic defense and the mana regen.

Though, Mana Crystal to convert into a Catalyst works as well, if not much better depending on how well you're last hitting, when also running Clarity summoner spell for mana replenishment.

But, its been well over a month since I really played Ashe, others may have moved to using a Vampiric or Boots and found a way to make those work better.
