Greater Glyph of Magic Resistx9 These give Alistar a decent bit of magic resistance, good for when your against an AP mid.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Powerx3 These give about 14 AP, these along with the Greater Seal of Ability Power give around 17 AP , good for early game poking with Headbutt and Pulverize

Greater Seal of Ability Powerx4 These give more AP along with the Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Greater Seal of Armorx5 These are good to have for the off chance that you are against an AD mid, like Talon Yasuo or Zed

at max cdr, has a Q W and E with around 7s cd. Because of that its good to put points into . Because of the way 's Q and W work, he can get in a basic attack after them, and his ult gives him about 60 more attack damage. For that reason I put a point into.

heals for a good amount, can be spammed, and can really keep you in lane or in jungle longer than some other champions, it is usually maxed second or third because its mostly a heal, but this and his ult activate his passive .

Lastly, should have a point in it at 6 11 and 16 because of the tankiness, and ad it provides you. With this tower shots do almost nothing to you, this is great for when you go to iniate.
