@Shinaliss: Yeah the Bruiser Build I'm mentioning revolves around using Taric's Passive. Get things like RoA, Iceborn and BV to maximise consistent DPS. I actually got this build setup from this page here. It's good, but it requires tooo much setup. The Taric play I make is always AP oriented cos I like that Burst Damage Output. Not to mention the build focusing around the passive is a complete dedication to late game. Taric takes a long time to charge up Manamune for Muramana. I would rather go AP Taric for a consistent gameplay with raised performance in every aspect of the Kit. Also, depending on the passive means that u need some AS gears to make it a real threat.

@Lilleralle: While Riven does have only a single source of damage output, u forget that Riven has a shield as well. She can absorb most of Taric's damage via that shield. And in a dragged out fight, Riven wins cos she has no Resource Bar. Taric on the other hand have MP and therefore will have to kill Riven before he runs out of it or fall back to base and start over.
