Healing Rite is great for sustaining in lane.
Mystic Shot is the best harassing tool in the game as well.
Healbane is a great source of healing and
Shiv can benefit the most from it due to his Culling Strike.
Overview
This build was created by RinaVX. To find it in game, search for "Mobalytics - Bleed Shiv by RinaVX" (BuildID: 234242)
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.
