Jax is just an example. Maybe another example is Alistar? Since he's another tanky bruiser champ that players incorporate AP to.

Just want to see if players here have had experience adding more AP to maximize E and R and think its viable or not.

thanks for the constructive responses xDaunt and Synystyr. I played about 10 games with Irelia using all sorts of builds such as Rabadons and I must admit tanky AD is just too good in comparison. Irelia just isn't very good when I played her as a Renekton/Jax/Trynd wannabe. Your feedbacks were very reaffirming. thanks!

No problem Irelia is by far my favorite champion....#1 imba tanky DPS :D

Cookie cutter build:

Open Cloth Armor + 5 Pots
Wriggle's Lantern
Berserker Greaves
Triforce
Defensive items depending on the other team.

I like: Banshee's Veil, Guardian Angel, Thornmail and/or Force of Nature depending on the situation. If the game lasts long enough, sell the Wriggle's and get a Youmuu's and Berserker Greaves for Sorc. Boots for epic overkills :D

I don't see why you woulnd't go Mercs instead of bezerkers. As an asskicking chick, they'll nerdrage and focus you. Gotta deal with that.

Because with your passive, the extra CC reduction is extremely negligible. In a team fight, you will have a over 50% reduction, so the Merc treads will only benefit slightly for the MR. A little extra attack speed will make a big difference laning with Wriggle's as well. Many more creep kills.

no, you have 40% reduc in a full on teamfight. With mercs you have nearly 60%. So basically, sion's 2 sec stun lasts for ~.8 seconds. vs ~1.2 sec. That's a big difference.

And since the beginning until now, I still feel delaying triforce is not efficient.

negligible?
that's .4 seconds during which you can't fire R through their team for 20000 health
.4 seconds of not sitting on their carry hitting them
.4 seconds of not being able to flash away
And don't forget, it'll chop .6 seconds off of Cho's silence, etc etc. If all the cc they have is sion, you might not need mercs. But 97% of the time they're better than any other option for boots.

Regardless, I feel our opinions will differ greatly here. Triforce isn't needed until midgame where teamfights are beginning to happen. Wriggle's gives immense safety in lane, extra lifesteal, damage and armor while also proccing often to take down creep waves quickly, along with faster jungling.

.4 seconds is negligible in a teamfight. You will one out of a hundred times because of it. Berserker Greaves will give you better laning and damage in teamfights. Attack speed also procs Triforce slows more often as well.

Uhhh what? .4 sec is sometimes all you need to live, also if you don't buy merc you are as good target for a stun as everyone on your team who has mercs. If you do buy merc then enemies will never stun you because that would be wasting cc.

And why is trifrorce not needed before teamfights? Do you really think that bursting someone in 1 combo from full hp to 30% hp in lane is such a bad idea? It is sooo easy to last hit as Irelia that you really don't need the lantern, your w and r = more than enough health recovery

CC reduction is never redundant.

Also, karma + tanky deeps is extremely retarded.
