Discussion:
Lets first start by explaining the skills. Blood Thirster And auto-castable orb effect. A neat skill that offers mediocre bonus damage,but quite a nice ammount of lifesteal. The trick here is to attack the enemy many times to get its effect to maximum. This can be relativly easily achieved by the use of Swift Slash and Swordstorm. Lets see its synergies: Gore - They both increase damage and lifesteal with concecutive hits. I think that is enough of a synergy. Also, since Blood Thirster increases damage, it also increases the bonus damage/lifesteal gained from this skill. Swift Slash - Triggers the damage/lifeasteal increase of Blood Thirster allowing you to get the max relatively fast. This skills damage is also affected by it. Also helps in chasing.
Swordstorm - Basicly the same synergy as with Swift Slash. Gore A neat skill. Its numbers might seem weak at first, untill you realise that lategame, this skill can deal massive cummulative damage. Its almost like fury swipes, but not with a set number, rather a %. Along with the other skills, this skill can start dealing a nice ammount of damage in mid-game already. I explained exactly how it works in the notes.
Synergies with other skills: Blood Thirster - damage increase, increases the cummulative damage of Gore. Also, the lifesteal can't hurt. Swift Slash - allows for more cummulative damage, ammasing it faster. Also, the damage of this skill is increased by Gore, so it deals more damage, and thus accumulates more damage. Also helps in chasing. Swordstorm - again, same type of synergy as with swift slash, although this is more potent, since every sword you throw increases the counter of Gore seperatly, if it hits something. Swift Slash A mighty skill - its low cooldown allows for incredibly spammability, although its high mana cost contradicts that. Even lategame it won't be infinetly spammable. Anyway, the skill itself can effectly increase your DPS output by 50% or so, depends on how fast you can use it. Its best to use it when fighting one hero who is alone, or when chasing a hero - its ministun can make it work like battery assault, but not really. The synergies are as following Blood Thirster - Both skills help increase the damage of the other one. You also lifesteal when using Swift Slash if this skill is on autocast. Gore - They help increase eachothers damage, and you lifeasteal the extra damage from Gore made when you use Swift Slash. Swordstorm - Not too much synergy. They both help in chasing though. Swordstorm Spammable skill, made for chasing, or dealing lots of damage in teambattles. Its AoE change helps you deal either a lot of damage on a small area, or lesser damage on a bigger area. Helps in chasing, and can deal massive damage on a sole enemy. Its damage depends on your attack damage, so it is usefulll from early to lategame. The synergies: Bloot Thirster - Increases your attack damage and the damage of Swordstorm, which also lifeasteals from this skill. Gore - Basicly same as the above, but more potent, as Swordstorm can increase the damage of Gore drasticly in little time. Swift Slash - Both of these skills help in chasing. They are also indirectly synergised by Blood Thirster and Gore, who both increase your attack damage by the use of Swift Slash and Swordstorm, so they increase eachothers damage as well. Wicked. Recomended items There are many items good for him. I will only mention some here, not all. Power Treads/Phase Boots are recomended, and I will not mention them anymore, since its obvious why they can be good for him.  Helps in farming, and increases your damage, for more killing action, and more damage from skills. The mana regen is also helpfull for spaming Swift Slash and Swordstorm.
 Helps you deal more damage through your skills and through the armor decrease. Its orb however, does not stack with Blood Thirster. Still, quite a good item, if you can micro Blood Thirster good, and orb walk.  The wet dream of every agi hero, Jian aswell. As a bonus, the illusions attacks will increase he stacking damage from Gore. I reckon that alone is a good enough reason to get this, besides the stats..  A good item,since your high cummulative damage will make for some nice crits that will further increase your damage. The damage it gives also helps.  Nice item, good for every agi hero, it increases your damage and attackspeed - more damage for your skills.  The slow will further help in chasing, and that stats will boost your poor mana and health straight into awesomness. Hard to farm though, and won't stack with Blood Thirster.
 Can be helpfull -because of the damage and the wind walk. It will help you sneak on your enemy and escape.
 Increases your mana and mana regen so you can spam Swift Slash and Swordstorm, the damage and AS also help.  Your best friend. Wheather you get it, or an ally gets it, it doesn't matter. It increases your damage, and grants more lifeasteal that stacks with Blood Thirster.  You are a potent carry, so you may need this.  Maim does not stack with Blood Thirster, but who cares? You don't get SnY for the maim anyway. You get it for the stats and AS/MS, which can trully help.
