Guys, can I have your thoughts on this:

I run mpen reds, armor yellows, flat ap blus, flat ap quints, and a 21/0/9 mastery no prob. Thing is, I feel that I'm not drawing a zone at all whenever I'm Swain (especially during laning phase, where it is arguably the most important), AND I'm not farming enough simply because I am being zoned out. My first set of items pre-RoA is Ring->Sorc Boots->Kage and, while this setup is good for harassing, it does nothing for farming (takes you too long to farm with R W). Third problem is that I'm actually too squishy pre-RoA, and that contributes further to my non-zone.

Now, I'm planning to tweak my build a little bit, and it goes like this: change reds to AD reds (for better last hitting, because his skills simply suck at doing it), buy a defensive boots (Tabi or Mercs) instead of Sorc to endure enemy zones, then buy a Haunting Guise after the first 3 mentioned items to make up for lost mpen. I'm also willing to do R W E Q instead of R E Q W if it means that I'll have better farm, at the cost of reduced harass ability. What do you guys think?
