Hello. Dake here from US server. Been playing a while now, and there was some point in lv 30 where I though I was good... WRONG! Anyways, got learning some styles of play first as AP, and then switched to jungling as a lot of solo games dont have a jungler.
I was trying Skarner, and was doubtful about how to build him. Finally I got a kicking but combo on him, and after reading the guide I thought if this character fits into the term you are talking about it here.
Basic jungling with Skarner and the build is exactly as the guide here from SirSpankAlot, which is wriggle's,mercury, trinity, randiun's,atma's, and a last situational. Getting good results. But, my question really is, This build for skarner fits into your concept of off-tank??

What about Shyvana? Could she be an off-tank? I usually build Trinity Force and Madred's for her. Rest of items are Wit's End, Sunfire Cape, FoN, Bloodthirster.

That build is closer to tanky DPS but there's nothing wrong with that.

Well, that build is sorta confusing and not the best, but yes, Shyvanna is naturally tanky and damaging. :)

Amazing guide! Big props to you! I myself am still somewhat a beginner, playing from 3 months now and sometimes I dont play so much, but recently I wanted to learn more and more about the game. I still dont play that much though, but playing league>better than sitting infront of the pc the whole day and doing nothing that enhances your though process. On to your guide again, its amazing. A lot of people only think mainstream and are close minded like you said. Ive learned that your build depends on the game itself, the opposing team, etc. Also you have to get items that bring more efficiency in a great variety. For example, though he is not an offtank and cant be one, Teemo usually is built only with AP and AST or AD, Crit and AST. I build teemo with items that give different stats in a great variety and my build depends highly on how the game is going. Also do you think Volibear would be an efficient oftank? Once again great guide, thought me a lot! I would +10000000 you if I could!

This guide is almost 1 year old and is still legit. Grats Duff :p



+rep me and you'll get good karma, wich means you won't be reincarnated into a rock! Isn't that awesome?

But yes this idea has been discussed more than Pam Anderson's tits in a plastic surgeons office.

Very nice, loved the article. I actually used a lot of these features while I Taric(Not the Trinity but the realization that HP isn't the answer). I initiate as a support occasionally and ward the whole map alone without a guide or carry. When your playing low ELO like you said people seem to think having 4k hp with 30 AR and 30 MR make you a tank. Made me a better support reading this.
