I played one game as Jungle Skarner post-rework, and went 21/10/16. In the midgame, I was able to duel three-on-ones because of my shield; I even had the ability to clean up after bad skirmishes to tilt them into our favor.

My final build was Hextech Gunblade / Iceborn Gauntlet / Zephyr / Wit's End / Nashor's Tooth / Guinsoo's Rageblade (I had Spirit of the Ancient Golem first, and sold that later to finish Rageblade and get Mercurial Treads. The Treads were sold for Zephyr at the very end of the game.)

This gives Skarner a ridiculous 450~ damage shield at the end of the game, a good 1/6th of his total health, combined with over 200 Arm. and MR. Unfortunately with this build I also had a lot of mana issues, but that's Skarner for you. Luckily I managed to take most blue buffs since our midlaner was Xerath.

I think hybrid bruiser might have to be the way to go with Skar at the moment...
