Taric is a wonderful tanky support due to his ability to initiate with his stun and give his teams auras during a team fight withand . With this in mind he is not a pure support and should not be played as one. This guide will show you how to play a successful Taric.

The runes I chose allow give Taric what he needs in terms of early game. These runes will allow you to stay in lane and support your carry until either you have to go back or you have enough gold to buy your gold per five items. Taric has some mana problems early game if you are going for 0 cs so this is best to keep him with abilities without his passive.

These masteries are set up for more gold without cs, the ability to spam your stun more for harass with your carry, and the ability to level quickly and become more tanky with.

The item build is set up for full support and zero creep score. All items after gold per five can give your team a huge advantage in a fight along with your passive auras. Of course some late game items can be changed out to depending on what your team needs.
