I get all the CDR I need from runes, due to the incompatibility with all the cdr items. Whether I get Iceborn or not depends on our setup. When everyone's running assassin there's no point in trying to slow people who are just going to go for you and smash you anyway. Spirit visage is going to be better for him now though that they're increasing the regen on the item and skarner has among the highest innate health regen in the game.

And the sting is considered a different ability like how timeboy's Q can proc his passive but isn't considered part of Q. If this patch holds, since Q has higher dps now, and e procs passive equal to 3 stacks of q on live, this looks currently like a buff.
