Hey Guys my brother just picked up Taric and I was wondering if anyone had any good build ideas for him. I get the feeling he should be the team aura-whore while getting some AP of his own but I don't really know since I've never played him myself.

Also I'll be picking up Kayle soon so that should be a fun lane with the two of them there <3

Soul Shroud and Aegis are pretty good on Taric imo, after that I really don't know. Probably something like GA and then you can be the oracle bitch.

I think Mana Manipulator -> Soul Shroud is probably a decent opener on him since it will allow him and his laning partner to spam whatever they want early on.

I just feel like watching him run into a teamfight giving his team 5 buffs then poping his ulti would be hilarious.

i think most people will tell you to run 9/0/21 or 0/9/21 with him, with a ???? for marks, mp5pl on both glyphs and seals, and flat HP on quints, but I run 0/21/9 with armor pen/dodge/mp5pl/flat HP because he has to share a page with Xin :p.

skills typically go eqwwwr r>w>q>e

I've also seen weird AP builds that get a DFG fast, but I'm of course talking about tank taric as I feel like AP Taric is just a bad version of Sion.


The only thing I have to add to that is that i've begun buying Chalice of Harmony either after boots 1 or boots 2. I just like the extra boost in mana that it provides, and the MR is really nice. I don't particularly like the Soul Shroud opening, though if i'm in a game where it'll be really useful i'll do it occasionally.

Other good mid/lategame buys include Glacial Shroud -> Frozen Heart and Nashor's Tooth. I haven't experimented with Deathfire yet, but that seems like it could be a decent buy as well. Usually if I have enough money for Deathfire, I have enough for Nashor's, and the extra boost to tower pushing is much better for my needs.

Has anyone ever tried/faced a Sion/Anivia lane? Ani's skillshot stun isn't much of a skillshot if you're already stunned. Seems like at level 2 with ani having stun+spike and sion having stun+shield you could basically combo people to death (or at least out of lane) in one go.

Never tried it but I can say Sion/Blitzcrank is quite effective. Stun makes it easy to grab or he can grab then you stun then he power fists then they die to double ignite

E: Niton can you elaborate on why you dont like the Soul Shroud opening?

OH SNAP ZING!

If your friend is actually dedicated to playing Taric he'll probably want to invest in a full runepage of armor runes.

Well he's only level 16 right now but he will be finishing off his Ezreal page first I think unless he falls madly in love if hearing "Ruby for Harmony" all the time.

It's fun, I've been doing that in a french premade for a couple days and it was insanely good, Anivia allows for great zoning and it transitions well later on into the game thanks to Sion's versatility.

Mana Manip winds up being a much worse item than Doran's Ring if I don't build right into Soul Shroud, and there's a lot of games where Soul Shroud's bonuses aren't really what I need. The CDR is really strong and I should probably build it more than I do, but building toward Chalice or GA seems to keep my team alive better than SS.

I should note that I don't play ranked yet, so it's not really the best input. I just dislike Mana Manip for not being "the best" opening item.

@Southlight - Armor runes? Why?

haha i lold. what a troll.

also is it just me or is chalice a terrible item. when i first saw it i thought wow something that increases your mp5 as you spend mana? awesome for people who spam all the time. after reading it again, i think its actually pretty shit, it increases your mp5 by a percent so you have to already have some decent mp5 to get alot out of it. and i feel like at that point just more mana or mp5 would be better. and until that point just chug mana pots. heck i think even tear is better cause it actually builds into something.

Chalice is nice because it's a 30 MR item that happens to give a lot of regen. It's not hard to get a bonus 20+ MP5 out of it by level 9-10 as Taric, at which point I prefer it to a Negatron.

Mass sunfires is better on Nasus imo. Along with your ulti it does like a millionbillion damage. Don't need triforce either I think, Atmas is better in that case in my opinion.


BTW that team captain who banned akali went 9-1-6 and carried pretty well. Weird =S

Just looked at a guide for Kayle because I was bored. It suggested this for harassing during the laning phase:

Here is a quick guide of what to do in common laning scenarios:
-An enemy champion is going in for a last hit => Reckoning
-An enemy champion is about to attack you or an ally => Reckoning
-An enemy champion just popped out of the bushes => Reckoning
-An enemy champion is about to attack your turret => Reckoning
-An enemy champion is running away in fear of Reckoning => Reckoning
-An enemy champion hasn't been hit by Reckoning recently, and has forgotten what it looks like => remind him with a Reckoning
-An enemy champion is low on health, and is therefore asking you to kill him => Reckoning
- Reckoning is on cooldown => Reck...crap

E is a lot better but yeah you first Q and then E until they're out of range. Just Q spam isn't as effective I think.
