good effort, but this is a really misleading guide.

First off, sheen should not be rushed until very late into the game unless you are winning by a ton. This is because there are so many better items you can rush and sheen doesn't even increase your damage by too much early game.

next, hp is horrible on skarner. you want magic resistance and armor so that his shield turns into more theoretical hp. By stacking all this hp, you actually aren't tanky at all because you can easily get nuked.

Atmog's is pretty bad now too, because of the nerfs and such.

Finally, you missed the best item ever made on skarner. frozen heart is just insane and i almost buy it every game unless for some reason the ad carries are not threats. Also, you build shurelyas way too late. You need it alot for the laning phase because of it's over powered capability with your ultimate.

Almost a downvote for me, and if I was being realistic I would, but i understand this is a quite new guide and you need time to edit and stuff.

Hope I helped.

I do like this guide, but I really didn't understand your logic behind your defensive masteries. If you don't get Hardiness , why get Resistance ? Getting MR over Armor is even worse as the extra armor can make your shield stronger and can reduce minion damage when jungling, while also giving you more durability when dueling against other junglers.

You should also get some early armor as you did not have any armor in your early game build.

Skarner's E skill really does not benefit him to much to worry about putting a point in it. All the higher elo players max Q and W before getting a single point in his E skill. They also use the Philosopher's Stone and Heart of Gold route for starting items. This build and skill sequence remind me of watching streams of Skarner.

+1 from me by the way

Yeah, but you're still going to be coming out to gank right? With only 2 skills before level 6 your ganks would become that much more useless. Plus you'll have blue (hopefully). But oh well I don't play Skarner so you probably know more than me.

I just looked up TheOddOne's guide, and honestly I can't see the resemblance. They take some of the same items and skills, but maybe that's because its the most effective thing to do on Skarner. Great minds think alike yeah?

There are also a lot of things in this guide that TheOddOne's doesn't have. TheOddOne suggests only Flash & Smite on Skarner for example.

The bulid is a copy of the The Sting of the Jungle
by TheOddOne...Won`t vote but nothing rly original in the guide.

Nice job, this guide is good and the build is similar to the one i use.. take my +1

maybe you can read and vote my guide too ;)

Skarner's E is really weak, the sustain it gives you is virtually useless and it costs too much mana. If you take it at level 2 you're extremely vulnerable to counterjungling because you both can't run away and can't fight.

Great info and nicely laid out. I'm a bit skeptical of getting E at level 13. You should still probably get at least 1 rank in it earlier in my opinion. But overall a well written guide. +1

I like the guide great use of coding and a nice ward guide. But you may wan to consider ignite for that last second kill. Also get shureleyas earlier as the speed helps a ton ganks.
