Mastering Taric

[quote=Symphunny]One of the many champions i absolutely suck with is [[taric]]. For some strange reason i cant play him right. Never ever won a game with him. Dont know if im playing him wrong but whatever. I'd want to learn to play him and strengthen my ability to support. Any tips Mobafire community can give is well appreciated :D[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i've been playing taric a few times recently, i usually start with a regrowth and blue pot, upgrading to philo. after philo a hog or pick. i usually take cdr boots, and then a catalyst into roa. from there auras/resists/more ap depending on what your team needs or what the enemy team has. good things: wota, abyssal (if no one else has), wits end, fon, frozen heart, zhonyas hourglass as for runes im using a universal magic build (magic pen reds, armor yellows, mr blues, health quints). taking flash/ghost and cv. 9/0/21 masteries making sure to take improved cv and presence of the master. (0/9/21 could also work.)[/quote]

[quote=Blydden]He's a support, if your team is derping there is nothing you can do. Anyway. For an actual support-tank [[Taric]]...(sorry caucheka but I think you've been smoking something with that build) [[Dazzle]] at level 1 then R > Q > W > E Start with [[Boots of Speed]] + 3 [[Health Potion]], go to bot with your AD carry. (Or [[Brand]]) Get your [[Philosopher's Stone]] and [[Heart of Gold]]. Get [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]] or [[Mercury's Treads]]. Purchase some support items, like [[Shurelya's Reverie]], [[Randuin's Omen]], [[Aegis of the Legion]], [[Soul Shroud]], [[Stark's Fervor]], etc...([[Banshee's Veil]] is good too.) You can switch out your [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]] for [[Mercury's Treads]] or [[Boots of Mobility]] once your support items give you enough CDR to be over the cap. Leave your last slot open for those beloved [[Sight Ward]]s. Always. Oh and [[Oracle's Elixir]]. Play a round with me sometime with my AD carries, we can have some fun. ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Symphunny]oh thanks guys =] gonna try taric some and yeah bly thats just what i need :D[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Or....you can play him as a tank....triforce is a good item on him.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]THAT'S CRAZY TALK![/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]it works lol.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I recommend running tanky runes so that you can do the initiates bot lane.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]imo you should duoQ with a good ad :) go for philo, hog (mb kages depending on the game) and start of with fairy charm + max wards + leftover money pots :) keep your lane warded as soon as ganks become a threat and keep them wards up. get oracles as soon as needed (ie you can clean some wards :) ) imo you should max shatter first on some lanes and heal on others gotta figure that out for yourself tho (depends on matchups and how you are doing overall) greez sam[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] Or....you can play him as a tank....triforce is a good item on him. [/quote] I thought the same way, but everyone was saying that hes a support. So the best way to know is trying. Bought Taric and just like people said, he'll be a meatshield. Its not a good idea.[/quote]
