Crystal Support Top

For those who think that SAWs abilities are awesome, but lack the strength to be a major threat. Not with this build. Simply put, by the end you are an untouchable god who can kill anyone in 2-3 shots with mad cannon, or wipe out fleeing enemies who have near full health with suppressing fire. Just be sure to watch your energy levels when off in the wilderness, running out could very likely kill you. This is a mid to late game build, as you won't see much of a difference until you have purchased the first shatterglass.

Early Game

Start with a crystal bit as your first purchase. Stick to the lane for at least the first 8-10 minutes to get enough gold for your purchases, not venturing too far beyond the midway point of the map, don't try for the turret yet as there will be plenty of time for that later. I try and save up for my first shatterglass before anything else, with maybe a purchase of travel boots in the middle to gain some speed for counteracting SAW's brutal speed.

Mid Game

By the 10th minute, you should have a shatterglass, journey boots, and either another shatterglass or an alternating current. You now have enough gear to venture into the jungle for teamfights, although your best bet is still sticking to the lane and causing havoc. You don't yet need journey boots or any additional health, so continue to focus on getting more crystal items to bolster your abilities even further based on the situation
    More damage- Shatterglass
    More energy/ more life- Eye of Harvest
    Cooldown is too slow- Clockwork

Late Game

By this time you should be fairly well set up with at least 3-4 maxed crystal items and your role is now as your teams slayer. Pressure the lane and aid in any team fights that you can. Don't be afraid of 2v1s or of saving teammates, as a suppressing fire will slow enemies down and take out 60-100% of their health. Keep with the SAW mantra of Offense is the best Defense and try to stay in fights, especially when you have energy for your abilities, And have fun guys, feel free to make your own customization to better suit yourself, and leave comments if you find one that works better or if you have any suggestions.
