It was a pretty huge nerf, but it was needed because it was pretty damn broken. Just try and build tanky, relying on your abilities for damage (low CD high base damage Q) and utility (Impale). I'd consider Shurelyas to be a core item, the MS boost is really good on Skarner. For damage, get a TF or possibly Gunblade if fed, Skarner is more about utility than damage, really.
