I dont like Rylais or WoTA. It isnt cost effective imo. The CC on Rylais is wasted on Swain because it is only useful on Torment (His ult only procs a 15% slow because its multi target). and WoTA is not good on Swain because he already has a heal (on a very low CD) and besides his snare (which only procs 1/3 of the spell vamp because its multi target) his basic abilitie are DoT, meaning you wont get the heal immediately which wont help you if your getting focused. On another note building more AP on swain actually helps his tankyness because more AP = greater Heal on R.

Basically, Rylais' slow is wasted and the heal is not needed. There are better items out there for Swain. RoA should always be rushed. And start with boots + pots or Doran's.

My build is ~ Sorc Shoes, RoA, Zhonyas, Abyssal/Void Staff, Deathcap, Situational. Deathcap can be built earlier if your steamrolling.
