Mana Taric, is it vaible ?

[quote=Orelsanpabon]Hello ! I'm new on this forum, even though i was used to check the guides on this website. I registered to have the opportunity to discuss with other LoL players, about build ideas. And I particularly wanted to talk about Taric. Toplane Taric. His passive (I don't even know how to introduce an ability into my post :( ) is like a Manamune, so, building a Manamune on him will make Mana even stronger on him. A build based on Manamune, Iceborn Gauntlet and Banshee's Veil, could work quite goodly on him, I think. Even possible to build an Archangel's Staff, to have even more mana, and a good AP pool, for his spells. I Played it some times, and it worked well. Wanted to know what you think about it. Thanks ! :) Edit : First thread, and first fail. Viable, and not vaible, of course.. :([/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]It was ok until they almost immediately nerfed Taric after the patch that gave him that passive. Now its pretty crappy.[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]I would throw in a [[Frozen Heart]] b/c 95 armor + 400 mana. But yeah, his passive's scaling is crap. He gets +2 damage per 100 mana. That means 20 magic damage for AAS/Manamune.[/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]Ofc Frozen Heart is very good too, but I think Iceborn would be better, for the Sheen effect. @DKitten: I don't think it's so crappy. Muramana + Banshee + Iceborn + Taric's basic mana = 3000 mana. 3000 mana = +60 AD with manamune, +120 dmg on opponent champs with Taric's passive, and +180 bonus damage with Muramana's active. I don't think it's so crappy...[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]if you go for catalyst, get roa. if in dire need of mres, get a negatron and think well what to upgrade it into.[/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]I agree, often build Rod of Ages too ! And yep, the problem with this build is obviously MR. I often hesitate between Banshee and Spirit Visage.. But imo, in a build based on mana, better take Banshee, no ?[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]never made math on it, but the passive of visage boosts the heal taric gets for himself. banshee was constantly nerfed until recently. If you really need mres, the first line options should be Aegis (if noone gets it) or visage. for other purposes, i think you can consider veil. I do like to build full mana, but i'm aware it's not as efficient. [quote=DKitten] I would throw in a [[Frozen Heart]] b/c 95 armor + 400 mana. But yeah, his passive's scaling is crap. He gets +2 damage per 100 mana. That means 20 magic damage for AAS/Manamune. [/quote] if i remember correctly, [[Frozen Heart]] is about as much as you need to compensate for the passive W change he got. not that much sure anymore though, but i remember you had to invest a bit.[/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]I'm not sure that taking Iceborn + Frozen Heart is really meaningful. I mean, both are great items for Mana Taric, but taking both of them will make too much armor, since Taric already has a huge armor..[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=Orelsanpabon] but taking both of them will make too much armor, [/quote] dafuq u doin' with a rammus avatar?[/quote]

[quote=Orelsanpabon]Haha x) don't know, it was the default avatar :p[/quote]
