How do YOU build taric?

[quote=Babit]Hi, first post here. I've recently bought and started playing a lot with Taric, and I was just wanting to get some ideas on how to build him. I've had relative success just doing situational builds. Normally stack armor or MR and just get like 15 assists and 2 kills per game. Please post your builds/theories so I can learn from you! P.S. I'm only summoner level 11 so don't worry about rune pages, masteries are welcome though P.P.S. Someone link me to ELO for LoL? I loved elo on AoE3.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Doran's Ring Merc's Treads Philo Stone Wards Wards Wards Wards Wards Wards Aegis of the Legion As I'm building towards Aegis I buy a shitload of wards. Although in solo queue this doesn't help cause you can't depend on teams to have map awareness.[/quote]

[quote=Babit]Would you not rather buy actual items? I normally do 3v3 so I guess that explains why I normally know everything that is happening on the map anyways.[/quote]

[/quote] Doran's, Merc Treads, and a Philo Stone, into an Aegis of the Legion, is all the items you should ever need as taric. Supports in high level ranked don't get more than about 30 creep kills, so they can't afford anything more than that. You still buy wards in serious 3v3 matches because of junglers.[/quote]

[/quote] fuck no no no. ap heal/nuke taric is best. tear roa boots rabadons finish tear to archangels eventually zhonyas abyssal in no particular order. this build allows taric to be pretty tanky while giving him a bunch of ap. his heal has a huge ratio along with .5 ratios on his shatter and i think its on his stun, .5 seriously have any of you seen a farmed support? thats when they're really a credit to the team. stop all this only the support/jungler should buy wards crap because you are seriously gimping your team.[/quote]

Also, your boots should be Mercury Treads.[/quote]

[quote=SinDelta]This is how i build Taric and i know what you will all think..OMG it's ap but give it a try and see how well you can burst and still be support. In exact order. [icon=Morello's evil tome size=25]Morello's Evil Tome [icon=Mercury's treads size=25]Mercury's Treads [icon=spirit visage size=25]Spirit Visage [icon=rabadon's deathcap size=25]Rabadon's Deathcap [icon=lich bane size=25]Lich Bane [icon=abyssal scepter size=25]Abyssal Scepter or [icon=Zhonya's hourglass size=25]Zhonya's Hourglass depending on the other teams main source of damage. The Morello's and Spirit Visage give the cool down needed for always having stun and heal up when you need it. Rabadon's for boosted ap for heal and shield pop. Lich bane for the moderate MR and good proc passive, and lastly the abyssal or zhonya for that extra survivability and moderate stats and AP.[/quote]
