Working excellent - Tried AD/AP Skarner and now AP Skarner. Just reminding that archangel(or just tear) is a very nice item for Skarner cuz of q spamming + much AS, you will get instant 1000 Mana, which will also add with the mana from rod of ages and lichbane and this will get you an insanse extra amount of ap - i would just let the rylais be (if you're getting focused, you can still buy it) and take archangel cuz this extra ap will stronger your shield, w gives you extra movement speed which will allow you to slow enemys with Q and at this point, you dont really need rylais anymore - 500 hp + is also a nice investment but you already have like 2,9 - 3k life at the end, so more mana for more q and more ap is a bit better
but that's only my opinion
Lichbane is a MUST!, like Rabadons and Nashors(and thats already included to your build) but maybe- you could buy attack speed shoes for making your passive more effective :)
Also the tanky masteries are a good decision, you have an okay early game which should be improved with masteries and runes and in late game- you should be rule
Very nice guide :)
I thought about tear, but the other items are so good, its hard to get rid of them. Although Rylai's isnt necessary, it makes you much tankier which is helpful when you play skarner. You need to get right into the fray and that 500 health helps keep you alive more than the mana to AP passive, although it does help with mana regen early on.
Though you can't really use this in ranked as
the only reason this works a bit is because skarner doesn't really need a lot of items to be good
but that's only my opinion

The guide is nice and short, such as it should be when you got somewhat experience.
Only one question: Why do you go solo top only? Mid and even jungle works pretty well, if you just go slightly different runes and makes it a lot easier to compete and gank other lanes (what he's best at AP or not)
My items: athene's unholy grail, guinsoo's rageblade, will of the ancients, rabadon's deathcap, lich bane and mercury boots. I use mercury boots most of the times, i h8 enemy cc to much not to use them. :D
Skarner make a good ap champion, at least as good as Nautilus, in my opinion.
I would say, yes, it is quite viable, but I'm not sure how well you'd do in ranked.
