75% AD and 30% AP scaling on each aoe spellblade proc, plus the mana restore against monsters, and a shield that scales with ap and easily has 100% uptime at max rank unless broken. Get ready for AP bruiser Skarner!
Edit: this isn't about runeglaive vs cinder hulk or vs iceborn, this is about the synergy of the new toy with his kit and the ap bruiser item builds in general.
It's going to be weak on him . tri force is 10 x better
Triforce and Iceborn will be 10 times bettero n him.
Are u retarded or what? Skarner is not AP-CARRY. He did not get benefit from build AP, lol.
Just build fucking 
AND DEAL TONS OF DAMAGE.
ya not sure what you're talking about. If you are going damage, triforce is 100x better on him or gauntlet for tankiness. The whole point of runeglaive is to help AP junglers with slow clears. Skarner does not have slow clears and he is not AP. Runeglaive would be bad on him
Add Abyssal, rylais, ludens, sunfire, and zhonyas for good measure, and fuck everyone's day up.
I actually didnt think of this. Thats gonna be pretty scary.
I do want to try it out
I've been trying to make AP bruiser Skarner work for ages with a Nashor's+Iceborn build, but RuneGlaive's mana return is precisely what the build needed and now it's gonna kick some serious butt.
Edit: Basically, you build AP to improve your on-hit from Nashor's (and now Runeglaive) and then a lot of resists to make your gigantic shield super durable. You're functionally a cross between Rumble and Hecarim with this build, but much better at assassinating a single target than Rumble.
Diana is gonna be 100% ban
Elko and Diana too
After Test Skarner is most definetly the one who uses the best this enchant. Diana is nice for the mana.but reduce the real burst. and take longer to reach 40% which is needed to do the akali like combo on 3.6 second Q cool down
the manasustain is nice, but besides that, iceborn is superior in every way..and 600 mana from iceborn are usually enough on scarner, especially if paired with rightheus glory. or for singletarget devastatioon, get good ol' Trinity...
going for runeglaive rather than cinderhulk or devourer gives a stronger early but worse late, so it prettymuch depends on when you want a powerspike if runeglaive is good or not.

You're mistaking the AD part.
its 75% BASE ad
In my opinion GP is the best for runeglaive because of magical crits
he's already a monster, and he's one of the few who can still make devourer work
Anybody who autoattacks and has mana has synergy with Runeglaive. Sure it looks great on paper when built on Skarner because he already has a low CD AoE, but he doesn't often run into mana problems unless he is spamming his rather weak E(should ONLY be used for chasing or disengaging; garbage for poke and not enough damage to justify for clears) and shield. His Q never runs him out of mana, especially in the jungle where he often regens it with passive jungler regen and/or blue buff. The synergy between Cinderhulk and Iceborn Gauntlet early on is too good since he becomes a tough-as-nails permaslow paintrain. I'm not saying Runeglaive will be bad on him, just not as good as the heavily scaling Cinderhulk and infinitely useful Iceborn Gauntlet or Triforce.
I'm not sure if we would see Skarner with Runeglaive too much, at least before the AP itemization item changes.
The reason Trinity Force is such a good item on Skarner is because it is a really good one-hit wonder of a damage item because it adds a lot of damage and has really good synergy with Skarner's kit. Lich Bane doesn't see play on Skarner because AP bruiser builds aren't that great on Skarner.
Skarner might be able to go AP bruiser after the AP itemization changes go through, but AP bruiser builds with Runeglaive won't be good on Skarner until then, if they become good at all.
Gut Skarner! #ritologic
Rune glaive is weak . meant only for fizz Diana maybe teemo ekko . it's stupid item now I'm forced to switch my zac build
Without Cinderhulk he isn't tanky enough early. An AP build is totally viable. But without that early tank stat, he just melts. Plus with less AP, his shield will be even weaker than if he had build Magus. If you want to go AP, I suggest Cinderhulk, Rylai's, IBG.
