[Quote]Except that Taric unlike other supports can choose to lane aggresively with Stun/Shatter. Other healing supports can only heal. In the healing department, I agree that Traic got nerfed the most but as a champ as a whole hes still better off then the rest. [/quote] You mean stun only. You do not want to shatter that gem. Unless it is 3vs1 or 2vs1. When it is 2vs2 you can consider shattering it, if things look in your favor. If there are more enemies than allies then you are better off keeping that Gem up and running. Or if you are being attack by magic users only. Also, it is better to be safe than sorry. Now, if you are about to die then shatter it for the damage. Other wise keep it up. Heck, more so now than before. You heal for less and less often. There is no point in you shattering that Gem just so your allies can die faster. Also, this whole thing about other healing supports only being able to heal is rubbish. Soraka can Magic Resist Debuff and deal damage. She can also Damage and Silence. She also has a ranged attack that should be used as back up damage if you are not being focused. Sona can also deal damage and has debuffs. Nidalee is the same. With Taric you can lane aggressively in terms of being on the front line and being the main target of damage. That is as aggressive as you can get. Before you could heal yourself for more and more often. It is different now. You can still be in the front just do not push it. I used to play AP Taric all the time. Now I just Magic/Armor Res and play it safe. The new speed buff is shit. The next update for Taric will either make or break the champ. There was an official riot thread about what changes to his ult were being suggest from the riot team. I do not have the link anymore. Does anyone have it? If so, please post it.
