Which build is the best for muerta?

I usually prefer mageslayer and maxing W before E as the item give her mana regen, some attack speed, and surviveabilty vs magic dmg. With maxed Q and W early on she deals good damage and good utility early on. A raindrop and some clarities or mana regen t1 item she can sustain her Q and W to farm 2 camps at once, stacked camps and even ancients. Also she can join teamfight early and can better survive getting jumped on by initiators that usually deals mostly magic damage like pb, void spirit, lion, ect.

I know people loves to go maelstrom first item on her with maxed E and one point in W. I did try the build but… It just felt risky bcs it only give her damage and she attacks slow early on that the maelstrom proc doesn't feel enough. And the item don't fix her fragility. She's immune to physical dmg in her ult but the thing is, early on most damage comes frm magic usually. So it don't feel great to make maelstrom. But I understand she preferably stay in jungle and not join team fights to farm but it's such a waste of her early game potential.

And i just feel like maelstrom upgrade is not worth it. Ratter than mjollnir or Gleipner, I think a blink, hex, mkb, refresher, skadi, nullifier is more impactful and it's a waste of slot.

What do you guys think playing her?
