Very nice build, I often play Janna and struggle to find the right auras that work together.
I would recommend selling or replacing a philosopher's stone -> Shurelya's Reverie for catalyst -> RoA. The reason is mostly because of your survivability and scaling late game, everyone will be focusing you (as you stated) and the later the game the weaker you personally become due to the lack of stats given from your items. For instance, aura items don't really give very good stats, they just produce auras for your teammates. And TBH Shurelya's Reverie is only good for the CD reduction and the speed buff, but honestly people forget about it and use it at wrong times. I know it has decent regen stats but those are basically worthless outside of laning phase.
all in all great original build.

??not the items fault that u forget to use the active on it.
roa is expensive, and needs to be build around 15-20 mins in the game.
afterwards it will looose its effectness.
second,you dont do lasthits,you cant even afford it.
stick to shurelias,max cdr is much more worth it

Never mind about the skill thing it seems to have fixed itself.

What's your opinion on Soul Shroud if your carry could really use the cooldown reduction or the mana regen? Also what item should be traded for it so you still have room for wards?

Maybe add Boots of Swiftness to your build, which you can build when your team has much more movement speed than you if that's possible.

I'm having issues with her late game mana. I don't spam my spells, but is seems Janna's costs are quite a bit higher than many of the other supports. At the end of big time fights, I'm generally completely OOM. I know rod of ages was suggested earlier, but would there be any other items that would work well to give Janna a deeper mana pool, or better mana regen without sacrificing her utility?
Oh, and your guide is amazing. My first time using Janna in a standard game, I used this guide and went 2/1/35. +1

I've been reading and following your guide and I gotta say, it works awesome on me.

Before, whenever I played Jenna, it seemed like I'm nothing but a hindrance to the team.

But now, I can fully supports the team and help aids the team to its fullest, all thanks to your guide.

Personally, I myself love playing support, and before I know it, Janna becomes my favorite.

Thank you very much for a great guide.

@Specolar
Soul shroud can be good if enough people need the CDR and mana regen, but it's rare for that to happen. I would simply trade it for the 5th item or aegis and build it earlier on. Remember that you'll need to get other boots as well.

@Chaozbrother
Janna is one of the fastest champions in the game, you don't need extra movement speed. There is no way you'll be in a team that's faster than you.

@Darkswarm
If the problem is mana then you can get chalice but that'll be filling your 5th item slot. Changing your runes is also a possibility.
All you need to do is learn to save mana for the team fights and you won't be running oom. After the big team fights it's likely that you'll be oom, but by then there's not much use for your mana anyway.

@Panglot
How childish of you. But hey, if it makes you happy go ahead and downvote guides for no reason, it's not like your vote will change anything.

@everyone else
Thank you for the support and all the lovely comments = )
