Sylvanus throws a seed to a target location. If it hits an enemy they will take damage, lose Protections, and become Rooted. If the seed lands on the ground, after 5s it will grow into a flower providing MP5 to nearby allies. The pod can be destroyed by Basic Attacks (maximum 3 pods), exploding and releasing poisonous spores that reduce Protections of nearby enemies.

Informations

Tank build with increased healing as support for conquest. Tested also in Siege, Assault, Arena and Joust. Always good. Your healing with salvation allows you to be long time at fights. I survived many attacks and i had only salvation and boots in Siege, very nice win.
Good Luck with this build. I prefer rooting instead of hooking. So upgrading Verdant Growth is better for me, if you want you can upgrade Nature's Grasp for shorter cooldown and quickly hook and hook and hook all the time.

Pros+ / Cons-

Pros

+Good protections
+Nice damage
+Healing
+Mobility
+Root 2x
+Hook
+Dot (Damage over Time)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Cons
-Early game not so much mana.
-Lesser protections than other tanks
-No dash or jump

Anti Mage/Root Build

This is build against Anubis, Scylla, Poseidon and other area damage mages. This build reduces crowd control effects by 70 percent + removes one cc effect every 45s. Spirits robe is good with its passive for damage mitigation. I also added winged blade against slows (Anubis, Ra, Gem of Isolation, Freya ....). Placement of items can be changed. This build is not tested, i tested it only in jungle practice. I hope it will help. This build may change after item changes.

would recommend Heartward Amulet like gurjap1 said above. Would also recommend Lotus Crown because extra protections for you/teammates + physical protection + magical power and mp5 is a pretty great combo for that price.

wouldnt heartward amulet be good cause of the mp5 and physical protection aura on it+ it gives him magic prot and 300 hp

I will update builds after the new patch, after item changes. I will try to create some anti anubis/scylla build for you. I think that one of core items will be magis blessing against roots.

Do you have any suggestions for arena matches where 3 of the 5 enemies are heavy AOE magic users like Anubis and scylla and have CC and root?

I'm dying way to quickly with my old build against these people. :/
