Skill Discussion

Soul Eater: Lane control! So good.
Siphoning Strike (Q): Without it, Nasus is just another tank.
WITH IT, he dominates SO HARD!
Last-hit minions all. game. long.
Siphoning Strike hits for over 500 Damage late-game if you farm it well!
Wither (W): Phew.
Perhaps the most powerful slow in the game!
With CDR, you can chain them together for the win.
Spirit Fire (E): Armor redux and AoE- kinda fun.
Drop Spirit Fires on teamfights and minion waves!
Fury of the Sands (R): Pop this to win fights!
Health, AoE and drained Damage, your very own sandstorm, and you GET BIG.

Skill Sequence

Start with for CD and damage, proceed to max for a more powerful slow, and finish with for good farm and good times :)
