Introduction

Introduction

As you can see this is a Guide about " - The Gem Knight" in Madbrew's point of view.

This guide may not cover all of your doubts but I'll be here to answer them and update this Guide as long as I'm here.

First thing you should know is that you shouldn't follow a guide to the letter at all. Your game play threads what you should wear or do.

There are many ways to play Taric but others than this one or few other types of support will lead you to trolling or to lucky wins

Pros / Cons

Pros / Cons

spaaaaaaace

Pros

+ A tank support who acts like a war dog

+ I won't be..

space

Cons

- Isn't the strongest heal in the game
- Taric isn't a healer at all !

- You might be seen as a troll if you aren't experienced enought

Masteries

Masteries

: Improves our so our AD Carry can easily nuke the enemy focused
: Gives Taric a welcoming AD
: 4% Cooldown reduction that will help you a lot early game
& : Decreases your flash cooldown so you can make a combo that will devastate your enemy in every situation (Later explain)
& : Yes, you are mana hungry you need this
: One of your tasks is to ward, and ward properly for that you'll need this
: Additional 2Gold every 10secs will help you a lot(Later explain)
: A good Support for your early game since you'll need to get as many Wards and Pots as you can.
& : Level faster get your skills up as fast as possible and you'll have your job a lot simplified
: 6% Cooldown reduction that makes 10% - and your job getting easier

space

: Needed to gauge or dodge the enemy

space

: Some may prefer this one but in my point of view seems kinda of useless mid/late game

Skill Sequence & Combo explaining

Ability Sequence Order

We want to choose as the first skill so you can have early CC and lane control even at Lv. 1. As for the 2nd skill we'll want to get to give our AD Carry and ourselves some sustain. As for the 3rd skill we want to pick and then maximize it for greater nukes.

> > > > >

This will be the powerful nuke that you'll use, You'll disable an opponent for real and if he isn't a Tank you may kill him if your not careful (Supports don't usually get kills). You'll make your AD Carry job easier and feed him like a boss.

Most of 's don't use this at all since they play very defensive or just poke and run, however is well tanky to carry a whole Team for some time.

Items

Gold Income

I'll start to explain about your Gold Income Rate:

You can be sure with this build you won't be waiting so long for gold income and that's what defines a good support. You are a Gold dependant since you have to buy Wards and sometimes Oracles the whole game. With the masteries, runes and items I provide you, you'll get an additional 20 Gold from 10 to 10 seconds - That makes 120 additional Gold per minute ! (Excluding normal rates of Gold Income)

Items

This are the items you need at the beginning, they also can be changed in different situations

: Needed early game to improve your MP5, and to upgrade it to a Philosopher's Stone
: // I usually use one of this to counter other supports warding early game
Sight Ward: You can use this one to put wherever you need or want
: Quick sustain without the waste of mana
: Quick sustain without the waste of mana
: Quick regeneration of mana in a important occasion

Warding

This shows you the best places to put down a ward, and which type of ward.

Summary

Summary

// I finish telling you reader that a Guide shouldn't be followed to the letter and you should always be flexible when playing.

// This Guide will be updated often since this is just the first phase of it, I will make additions in future to this guide but won't edit since this is the current best way to play Taric, in Madbrew's point of view.
