Best Yorick build possible:

21/9/0 masteries

AD reds, AD quints, scaling health yellows, scaling CDR blues

Manamune >> Frozen Heart >> Maw >> Boots w/ Captain >> Whatever. Last items could be Frozen Mallet (HP + AD) which is way better than Warmogs on him.

The combination of Frozen Heart + Maw give him insane survivability while giving him around 300 AD. His AD scaling is actually REALLY insane if you count the ghouls so you want to stack as much AD as you can.

With Frozen Heart, 5% CDR from masteries and 15% from scaling runes, you'll have 40% CDR eventually. You want high CDR on Yorick because you always want you ghouls up, all the time. With 40% CDR you'll have permaghouls which means a perma 15% damage reduction and increase.

The damage reduction works wonderfully with the shield from Maw and the reduced ATKSPD from Frozen Heart.

Mitigation from Maw/Heart is way better than having tons of health because of your E. Mitigation makes your E's heal more effective.

Furthermore, his 15% reduction can't be reduced in any way, so this is why you want max CDR to spam ghouls.

Also -- this is going to ruffle some feathers -- while laning, max W first, not E.

The higher your W, the more hits your E ghoul will get in. Maxing E first increases the initial sustain but it doesn't increase it by THAT much... and your slow won't be strong enough for the ghoul to chase effectively.

Also, Captain enchant on Yorick is insane because it makes your ghouls, especially your W ghoul, so much more effective (on top of boosting your allies movespeed).
