Here is how I start with Skarner in the new Jungle: I buy 2 items that upgrade into Philosopher's Stone and 3 pot, start at wolf then blue. The good thing about this is that after my first clear, I can buy a boot and philisopher's stone then start roaming aggressively. However, the fall back is that I need a leash and my best choice of boot is Mercury's Treads for the Tenacity.

I am wondering if I should start with Machete then upgrade it into SotAG? If I do that then I can pick up either BoSwiftness or BoMobility (can someone tell me which one is better for Skarner?) The problem is I can't buy Philosopher's Stone anymore because that will set back my Sheen (my only item to deal dmg in the whole build). With this build I can roam WAY better, don't have to worry about CC and don't need to rely on leash.

So which way is better for Skarner? Also, is it better to stack Ar/Mr or Health on Skarner?

Note: I run AS marks, MS quints and 4/17/9 masteries.
