I know you could use it to get some mana back. I used to do that anyway, raging morrons be damned :P. It was just a weird passive in that meta (which is why it was changed). Anyways, Rammus his passive gives him bonus AD at a 25% ratio, Tarics passive hits for 20%. Rammus is always up. Hence it confuses me as to why his passive ratio is so low. Even taking into account the extra utility of the CDR it's weird to only have it at 20% when Rammus has his 25% always there. Plus, 20% in general seems low for anything that has noticable down time or comes in massive quantities.

Getting 200 armor isn't difficult, especially not with a full build, but the issue is actually getting there. I often find myself to first have to make my way through a sighstone a gold item, boots & usually something like locket to not instantly have my face melted of whenever their mage shows up. And in combination with the low gold income that regularly means it's too little too late. Basicly during S4 Taric feels as if I need to make my way through half an hour of being god awefull and getting bullied by any remotely capable opponent until I finally get going with a massive spike because I finally got my defenses up to an acceptable level.

Also, I don't get why a champion who's supposed to fight in long lasting battles has such god awefull mana management. His design is just so weird at the moment. He just feels so horribly useless half the time.
