Skarner Build Items

[quote=MildlyMalicious]^This. Jungle [[Skarner]] is just amazing. Simple enough.[/quote]

[quote=TheKut][quote=BusDriver210] Don't be afraid to buy [[philosopher's stone]] or [[Heart of gold]] on [[Skarner]]. He farms the jungle like mad, so whats the best way to capitalize? More gold! They are decent midgame items on him and [[heart of gold]] builds into [[Randuin's omen]] which is great for Skarner! [/quote] Ok, the problem is just that there are so many items that are great for [[Skarner]]. Could it be good to buy [[Philosopher's Stone]] to him after I buy [[Sheen]] and then sell it later when I come a bit into the build? I also wonder if it's good to have [[Atma's Impaler]] for him. Otherwise I would get [[Randuin's Omen]] instead. Some other items I thought if are [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]], [[Frozen Mallet]], [[Frozen Heart]], [[Zhonya's Hourglass]] and [[Madred's Bloodrazor]]. Is any of these items good for him?[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]Philo into shurelya's is preeeeeeetty standard on skarner. Health CDR and Active are all great for him.[/quote]

[quote=TheKut][quote=EvilDice] Philo into shurelya's is preeeeeeetty standard on skarner. Health CDR and Active are all great for him. [/quote] Yeah, but that's the thing, there are so many items that are great for him, but he only have five item slots (six with the boot slot). And I don't really care that [[Shurelya's Reverie]] is "pretty standard" on him, I don't like the item that much. Lots of other items give the health, CDR and other Actives that are great for him that also give other stats, like [[Randuin's Omen]] for example. So Shurelya's won't be in my build.[/quote]

[/quote] Sounds like a personal problem. The best build is; Philo -> Hog -> *Item* -> Shurelya's -> Randuin's. If that's not in your jungle Skarner build, I'm gonna just say your build is bad.[/quote]

[quote=Rajhani][[banshee's veil]] is a great item if you aren't sure what to get, I switch between that and [[guardian angel]] depending on what I need. The [[trinity force]], [[wit's end]] and [[hextech gunblade]] are all definitely core items when I play [[skarner]]. If you want, throw in [[atma's impaler]] after you get your [[randuin's omen]]. I find [[warmog's armor]] not necessary.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime] Sounds like a personal problem. The best build is; Philo -> Hog -> *Item* -> Shurelya's -> Randuin's. If that's not in your jungle Skarner build, I'm gonna just say your build is bad. [/quote] I'm not looking for a jungle build, just a normal laning build. But yeah, I should put [[Randuin's Omen]] in the build. I was thinking of removing my Warmog for Randuin and then remove Atma's for either [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]] or [[Rod of Ages]].[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]On a personal note, I don't understand why people frown upon [[Atma's Impaler]] as a solid buy. Its pretty amazing on anyone 18.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Ew lane Skarner :p[/quote]
