User blog comment:RoznosicielCiast/What about Liandry's Torment for Skarner?/@comment-4131177-20130223205736

I just tried it, and it worked decent.

I think when you put some effort into it, you can make it a nice tanky AP build.

Though, i think there are too many must-have items.

{ii|Liandri's Torment} is obviously needed.

Without {ii|Lich Bane}, you won't deal enough damage.

{ii|Rylai's Crystal Scepter} has great synergy with skarner's kit and also amplifies Liandri's, so it is a must-have as well.

I am not sure wether you can play him without {ii|Rabadon's Deathcap}, his ratios are not exuberant...
