Shiv is a strong bruiser and a bully. Since his passive gives us built in tankiness we can take favorable trades and whittle down our opponents setting up easy kills with our ult. This build maximizes that play style by focusing on bleed damage.
Early Game
First we buy Extra Charge our main way of damage is to keep throwing daggers.
Then we buy Extra Regen and Extra Health to sustain in the lane
And lastly we round out our damage with both Close Quarters and Restorative Shot.
Mid Game
Decay is your primary way to charge the Rage meter and the strongest damage-over-time effect you can afford in the early-mid game.
You can improve your Serrated Knives with Mystic Vulnerability and Duration Extender.
Slowing Bullets and Mystic Shot both give some extra spirit and the damage needed to get through the mid game.
Spirit Lifesteal and Spirit Armor help with your tankiness.
Late Game
Superior Duration, Rapid Recharge, and Superior Cooldown add another burst of improvement.
Soul Shredder Bullets both help us sustain and amplify our damage from the daggers, Decay and our Slice and Dice.
Headhunter allows Shiv to charge his rage quickly and gives us some much needed movement speed
Luxury and Situational Items
Warp Stone, Superior Stamina, and Enduring Speed are good optional movement tools to help maneuver through fights.
Leech, Improved Bullet Armor, and Improved Spirit Armor are the best ways to improve our tankiness.
Magic Carpet gives a new solid way to kite and keeps us in the fight.
Escalating Exposure is now our best offensive Tier 4 item, as it gives us the most damage. Start the exposure with Decay and Serrated Knives and then Slice and Dice will do enormous damage!
