Nice guide, man.
Totally thumbed this thing up.

It doesn't really fit my playstyle for Swain though. I like to get all 3 spells started by level 3, then work on maxing torment first. I find this makes me a HUGE threat early game, especially if I'm the only AP. If that's the case, and I find that I won't be running up against too much magic resist, I'll jumpstart my damage with the early +20 AP tome (sorry, forget the name at the moment!). That'll lead into an early catalyst, and then I can lane up to my boots and maybe even the Smackdaddy Rod beginning to the Rod of Ages.

No matter what though, once Swain hits level 14 with some decent farm under his belt and a blue buff to top him off, he's an undestroyable tank. I'm working on a Swain build/guide right now myself - I'm rather new to guides, but I'll be sure to link it here when i do.

I am currently working towards a much different type of build for Dominion. Will update after more testing.

maybe bit more info voted+1 just saying check my jarvan guide look on youtube and go on jhoijhoi her guide to makeing build helped me out look on other swain builds and if you happen to see my jarvan build or morg pls +1 hehe yours truly rhysyo

Updated skill sequence after a few tests. Nice to have the 3 hit combo be more balanced. Taking Decrepify at lvl 2 is a bit more defensive, but more of a surefire CC then Nevermove.

I up voted because of good work and the guide is alive but i dont like skill sequence ether you could have done a better job at putting more stuff.

I agree the Philly stone is not needed, its a personal preference of mine to counteract his weak pre lvl 6 game. If you mean on the skills that you level Decrepify faster, you must be amazing at landing it for the full 3 second duration. I prefer Nevermove 2nd for its farming capabilities. Thanks for the feedback and the vote.

I like the build. However the skill sequence does not fit my likes of Swain. As well, I don't like the Philly stone as I feel it is not needed for swain. Still I upvote you because I feel it has potiental.
