Grail isn't the best option for Swain, since he needs tankyness early, RoA seems the most solid item for him. Also if you need MRes normally a Abyssal will do the job better, by giving you more MRes and also replaces you the rarely needed Void Staff on Swain. He benefits from Armor and Magic Resist to increase his TRUE HP, because Armor and Magic Resist will also increase the amount of his TRUE HP restored during his ultimate. Many ppl dont get this and just stack useless items for HP or Spell Vamp ... sigh
