The problem is once the game reaches the point of people getting luxury, the damage block of Vanguard is too little to be considered effective, that kills like half the price of it. So, getting Poor Man's Shield will always be better.
Hmm, you're making sense, but Slark doesn't need too much DPS early game, and rushing Vanguard will give you enough tank to dive towers. In my earlier guide, I ended up with Power Treads, Vanguard, and Yasha, and that I found was more than enough to gank successfully. Slark doesn't need to be played like a hard carry.
not really, I find it effective throughout, but it does delay your core, thats why it's under luxury. I will add the section on gameplay, thank you very much for your input.

Im gonna argue that Vanguard is useless item. Its effectiveness runs out at 30 minutes. It delays your core too much. So you shouldnt opt for it al all.
I think it would be better for you to include a section on gameplay.

try a bloodstone,adds tank. mana and buffs your ulti so much
Poor Man's Shield and Vladimirs Offering adds more than enough mana and tank.

What exactly makes this unconventional? Manta Style Diffusal Blade Vladmir's Offering and Skull Basher are all common-ish items on Slark.
I beg to differ, most people get skadi instead of diffusal. and I have never in my life seen someone use manta in a game.
