I mainly take utility for the MS and the longer duration on buffs, but I'll try going 9/21/0 in my next games and see if it works out!

I prefer being faster as well, moreso when I use Skarner! I just have this weird obsession of being fast when I use him. o.o

I mainly took Zephyr for the 4 stats it provided: AD, AS, MS, and CD reduction. Those stats are pretty core on Skarner and I thought that as a last item, it'd be a good buy. Never really thought much about the Tenacity! Didn't know that Black Cleaver proc'd on Skarner's Q. :o I'll try that and the other two you mentioned depending on the situation the game calls for.

Well, I mainly build Randuin's first before Gauntlet since I feel like I need the extra tankiness early-mid game. SotEL seemed to be doing enough damage for me, but I did find I was losing some duels that if I had Sheen, the enemy would just be demolished, so I guess there's that. What if I built Sheen after tier 2 boots, got a Giant's Belt, then finished my Iceborn after getting that? Skarner already has pretty solid resistances, but I think he just needs some more health to beef him up a little bit, especially around the mid-game when teamfights start breaking out. Usually I'm the one doing the peeling, keeping the enemy in range, and soaking any damage so I build Randuin's early for that. What do you think?
