And now it's at least decent.
Thanks for the feedback!
Resistance is a waste of time, you should have two points in Hardiness and two points in Tough Skin because any decent Darius player will know that you'll have to poke the enemy with Decimate so they are low once you get your ult/for a early pre six kill. Siege Commander is useless because the towers are like glass cannons anyways, get Vigor instead so you can stay in lane longer.
remove Greater Glyph of Magic Resist and get Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist instead because more often than not that MR per level is needed for late game and most enemies top are AD and if I get it correctly you're going bot with Darius in this guide so it's still a better option because there's no heavy magic damage bot.
Frozen Heart is a lot better than Thornmail because it gives you mana, a issue that Darius has time to time and CDR which is good for your main damaging abilities, Decimate and Crippling Strike and maybe even Noxian Guillotine if you messed the ult up. It also slows all nearby enemies attack speed so it drastically make the enemies damage drop from autos instead on Thornmail where they have the same attack speed and only get hurt when they target you.
Even though Darius has a snowball ult you shouldn't take snowball items on him. You can buy WAY better items with the gold you already get from dunking people with Noxian Guillotine.
