What he said...

This. To snare somebody you have to catch them first anyway. UB is usually the fastest DG in a game with Anklet, Boots, skill and innate fast speed, which pretty much eliminates the need for snare effects. Anklets also help more against demigods early game, and good early game means you can later afford to buy those damage items.

I find planning for ultimate lvl 20 build isn't really helpful, most games won't go that far, and even if they do, good early game can make up for weaker items later. Though Anklets' effect is pretty much irreplaceable even lategame.

If you're good with UB, you don't need the anklets to catch players.. buying the 1000g boots at the start of a game will be enough for you.

Furious blade all the way. Then stack it with mageblade and the top gloves (forget the name). If you add any more lifesteal/attackspeed on top of this combo, you're pretty much unkillable.

Anklets (with Boots of Speed), so I'm 99% of the time the fastest DG in the game, letting me avoid Inner Beast and Diseased Claws till late game (level 15+). 90% of my damage comes from abilities, so Furious Blade is useless to me.
