Mana Taric, is it vaible ?

[quote=NicknameMy]I would say, he fits way better the jungle than the lane. He is probably the only jungler that can help his teammamtes by healing them and of course, he has a stun. He only has mobility problem, but my nice 0/9/21 masteries fixed that problem and also added a nice amount of CDR to my build, which allows me to jungle faster and heal more. Buildwise I did the folowing before: [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=151-27-27-27-27-27-168-53-58-165-42-109-150-68-81] http://beta.lol.fanrealm.net/n8SsNFgINsDwLBz2o5Dw/overview I would call it: [color=#0080ff]Tar[/color][color=#800080]i[/color][color=white]c[/color]. With [[wit's end]], you got a good tool to combine magic penetration and AS. HP is avaiable through [[spirit of the ancient golem]]. And you got a shitload of mana, CDR and armor. It doesn't really matter if [[manamune]] isn't fully stacked yet. It still provides huge amounts of mana and a good amount of ad. But if it transforms into [[muramana]], [[taric]] just gets completly ridiculous with 10% damage of mana. 3000+ mana = 300+ damage and thanks to [[wit's end]] magic resist has a reduced effect. And if you now add the bonus damage of [[wit's end]], that is 342+ dmg. And it goes on and on. You also got a good amount of AD with [[muramana]], which increases your damage even further. The scaling on this build with each other and the kit is super ridiculous. And you did notice I didn't even calculte the proc of [[iceborn gauntlet]], or any of his active abilities yet? I am now starting to build up a winning streak with that build. It is so easy to get your whole team fed. You got superb assistance for them with your armor and heal and the enemy team, which doesn't expect that amount of defense, just die. [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img22/4267/3bgs.png[/img][/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]Oh yeah, finally someone who tested it ! I don't know if you testes it after reading me, or if you already knew it, but it's awesome ! And yeah, it's very good as jungler too. In lane, it depends on the opponent, but sometimes he can outrageously win the lane :p Taric, with a gank, can : stun, heal his mates, and give him AD-AP with ult. Btw, since you already take a Frozen Heart, don't you think it will be better to take Trinity instead of Iceborn Gauntlet ? These 2 items are quite similar, to me, and I don't like taking both of them. Especially if there are 2 AP in the opponent team.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]If there would be more AP in the enemy team, I would get [[spirit visage]] instead of [[frozen heart]]. I like to combine both [[frozen heart]] and [[iceborn gauntlet]] as I get then 300 armor, which results into a 42 armor aura, which is very huge. [[iceborn gauntlet]] is better than [[trinity force]] as [[taric]] likes to get CDR, Armor and Mana. And don't forget the superb slow on proc. For AS, [[wit's end]] is enough.[/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]I agree with you on the fact that Iceborn is better than Trinity on Taric, but I feel like Wit's End is not enough for his AS, since he has a low AS basically. :([/quote]

[quote=animorte][[Mercury's Treads]] [[Iceborn Gauntlet]] [[Spirit Visage]] [[Wit's End]] Works well and gives him around 260 AR and MR (max WE stacks). I guess you could call him a bruiser or off-tank as long as you keep [[Shatter]] passive. Even with the slow and stun he can't really keep up with anybody though. I will have to try it more, but I like the idea of [[Nashor's Tooth]] on him. This eventually adds up to a lot of wasted CDR. And this build lacks in mana. You could just MacLaren... :P [[Sapphire Crystal]] [[Sapphire Crystal]] [[Sapphire Crystal]] [[Sapphire Crystal]] [[Sapphire Crystal]] [[Sapphire Crystal]][/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I now reconsidered [[Taric]] and play him now nearly full tank as a counterpick to mainly assassins and phyiscal damage heavy teams. He can also turret dive really quickly with the right items. Build for this is: [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=86-81-165-56-150-68] Also working on a guide for it atm, could take some time as I work on something else aswell.

It would bring tons of damage :p @NickNameMy : as jungler, i suppose ? Seems good to me :D Even though my favorite item is not in. But if you want to play him full tanky, [[Manamune]] doesn't have the place then. :p[/quote]
