i find a tanky build with him works wonders: i start with a shield, or if you want, boots. then i rush sheen and boots 1 ASAP. i then build phage, into an immediate frozen mallet, after which i become significantly stronger. after frozen mallet, i build a sunfire cape, giving me butt-tons of beefiness wiht my mallet, after whcich i get either banshees or impaler, whichever is needed first, then the other.(btw youll have to sell your shield to get the impaler/banshees), finishing up by upgrading my sheen into trinity force. btw i usually upgrade my boots into cdr boots, if not you can get mercs. you become incredibly beefy, however youre far from a tank, with only strong slows as CC, and youll do great dmage output wiht pretty much all tankish items. for masteries i like magic pen in offense then go into either defense or utility wiht buff time( buffs are great for yorick) and improved flash. for summoners i run flash and ignite almost all the time, however exhaust if you hate ignite, but i find my w and frozen mallet already give tons of slow, and youre beefy enough to not really need the blind from it =/. as for runes, well i dont rly have a full page for him, but im thinking armor pen (or magic pen, since his w and e do magic dmg :o) red, mana regen yellow and cdr blue, with hp quints.i get e or w at lv one, then upgarde my e and q to lv two wiht one in w by lv 5. after lv 6, i max e ASAP followed by q and lastly w.

with this build i broke 210 AD, with slightly over 3.5k HP.

also, i hear many ppl complaining about his mana problems, but sheen seems to solve this for me, just dont constantly spam your spells early. i actually never use my abilities on minions till after the laning phase, using my w into q to harass melees and harassing rangers with e, which sustains me greatly since i level it first. also get blue whenever you can, its great on yorick. red also isnt bad, but should probly be left to your ranged carry
