It's not about massive AoE damage, it's about he's got a single target non-skillshot stun and an AoE followup nuke with massive AP ratios. I'm so happy solo mid Taric is back!

I suppose with this buff Taric may be build as a pseudo support AP carry sorta like Zilean, but still not likely to be great on him. I'm waiting for them to rework his passive though. I think in terms of relative strength, Taric is in a good position, but his passive is a pretty lame way of fixing early game mana issues and they could do something a lot more interesting.

Also, Heal is good now. Clarity might also be good now, but I really doubt it.

I think anyone taking Heal over CV on a support is out of their minds, and Flash is too good on Taric. Heal is good to fit onto solo laners over Ignite/Exhaust/TP, but CV is still far too game-changing.


Even at the very top level, where your CV is going to give you and your teammates useful information that they'll use 100% of the time, a lot of players have opinions that place CV from OK to just bad. When you're not at that top level, and your team isn't even going to pay attention to what you've CVed, it doesn't even feel like a contest anymore.

Heal is really, really good now.

e: Also, Utility is a pretty bad tree now, and there's a solid argument for 0/21/9 being better for supports because of the weakness of points spent.

I've been playing 0/22/8 on Taric since Fizz patch, with Heal/CV. Maybe I could do without CV, but I feel like Flash is a crutch on Taric. Sure, you can escape some ganks and maybe secure a kill with Flash + Dazzle, but with Heal and defensive masteries Taric is pretty beefy early game against common comps with AD-based lane + jungler, and I usually save myself or my carry at least once or twice with Heal each game in lane let alone with the substantial heal during team fights. He's obviously not as good as Sona or Soraka against AP lanes or Junglers, or against really aggressive lanes because his ability to harass and heal is lower than those two, but that's a given and Flash wouldn't help with that at all.

Maybe its just me, or the fact that I play mostly solo-queue normals, but I feel like I have the most success on Taric out of all the supports (and I play supports a lot). I like playing Sona and Janna but feel so... squishy... when I do. I'll have to experiment more with full Defensive masteries on those two as well, as the cooldown reduction in Def is better once you hit level 14 and the extra survivability may make up for the reduced gold/XP/regen/summoner spell CDR.

Doesn't make any sense since taric has a heal and a useful ultimate and more burst damage and armour aura and armour debuff.

Also, taric is one of the weaker supports at the moment, so support sion is really garbage.

Meh - a common concern in the earlier posts was that taric didn't have enough personal sustain in team fights. Sion support has with his ult which also heals others while providing a similar stun.

Sion also doesn't have passive armor, and his stun has 75 less range than Taric's.

Your lifesteal is also not worth a lot when you have no AD.

Personal sustain? Why do you need that? Don't listen to phreak, taric is NOT an important target in teamfights the only reason you'd be getting hit is if you're in a position where you're basically a free kill.

This is only something that has recently become wrong. Back when Radiance was a gigantic fucking Hp5 buff (with 1:1 AP scaling!), one of your jobs as Taric was to take as much damage as possible without dying so that you could heal up to full with Radiance and your (still good Q).

Now Taric's Q is the worst of the 4 support heals because he doesn't want to take damage, and his ultimate is somehow both more boring and not really any better than the previous incarnation.

Hehe - i think i came over wrong - earlier in this post people where saying that one of the problems with the ultimate changes was that it took away a large part of his own self healing.

the way that the majority of the posts were worded in summary they said the following:


"1/2 imbues a fight, a few stuns, can be one dropped, very little self healing"


Now - for the record - i love taric, i have around 200 games played with him, and i build him as a pure support in bottom lane.

But - i always thought that if your playstyle is such that you find taric's lack of continual self healing a major issue - then you should consider support sion.


Apologies for not making myself clear in the first post.

Okay, bringing this whole quote train here before it derails GenDisc any worse. If you have no idea what's going on, read the first chain:

there's no way whatsoever taric counters sona


Sona's got no hard CC pre-6, is stronger if she ignores her heal (which heals for 40 at rank 1), and is as squishy as Soraka. Sona and Soraka are way easier to kill-lane than other supports because of their squishiness and lack of hard CC, and Taric has one of the best burst combos available to a support in lane.

Didn't they try that once? His remake didn't go so well. Honestly, I like playing Taric, but he's just so meh past the laning phase, and even there he's not super dominant.


That's what I mean - his remake significantly lowered the power of 2 abilities and left the other 2 in a neutral state.


The hard cc doesnt matter when sona has infinitely more burst. With heal, it should literally be impossible for the enemy duo to kill sona without getting 2 for 1ed.


Taric has (or at least, had) equivalent burst to Sona back before they gutted him, especially with the aid of an AD carry like MF, Sivir or Graves. He still kind of does, because Taric/MF and Taric/Sivir are still things. If he were to get returned to a place where his Q, W and R weren't all shitty versions of good abilities, he'd be fine competing with Sona.


Unless the Sona mispositions, taric has to walk up to sona or anyone to stun, and in that time he can get E chorded, Q chorded, E and Q chorded, ulted, and kited to death. The burst is not the same realistically even if the total damage do match.


E+Q chord is probably the best defense against Taric pre-6, which is less damage than him (but allows you to try and kite). Post-6 it's a different matter, but again, that comes down to Taric's ult being a shitty version of Sona's Q instead of an ult. His damage really is comparable if you can get on to a target, it's just slightly too hard (and not rewarding enough) to do so right now.

To be fair, I'd say that the buff to Shatter was at least a little better than a "neutral state".


Eh.. kind of. Shatter's significantly better out of lane than it was before, both because of the aura range increase and because that passive doesn't go away, but it lost 40~60 damage off of its base, which is really significant for kill-laning. Overall, it is a bit stronger, but the new kit made him so much weaker out of lane that losing some of his lane dominance was a big hit.

I know Nhat Nguyen runs 0/15/15 for initiator and the extra GP10. Considering how in lane, he'll run up to the AD shatter his fabulous aura and how he's more likely to be in the middle of a teamfight than Soraka or Sona, I'd consider running 0/21/9, though.
currently rooting for myself.

Question for mathcrafters. Is it worth more to go 21/0/9 ad, 21/0/9 ap or 0/21/9 tanky for jungle? What could i benefit the most from? Seems like without wriggles i don't clear fast enough, but my ganks with red are strong as fuck.

I think you'd want to go AD/AS Taric, since his AP scaling isn't really that great compared to the benefit you'd get earlygame. Doing something like that, a 9/12/9 build like this one would give you the largest early game advantage - and that's all that really matters, because your lategame is going to be suspect regardless of what masteries you pick.

The points in utility seems dumb. Why would i start with extra gold and get duration on my buffs? I get mana from my passive anyways. But yeah i tried out ap and it sucks in jungle, gonna stick to ad/as and figure out some more. He seems dumb with his Q in rank 5 and a wriggles. No AD can trade hits with you in early game..
