Talk:Soraka/@comment-26433263-20150525180028

Reading some comments here saying that tanky Soraka is not reccomended because her W costs 10% of her HP, in my opinion it's the completely opposite, tanky soraka is the most effective way to play her.

Soraka's job is to live longer so her teammates can live longer, when you use your W and gives up 10% of your HP, you'll still have more HP if you got tanky than if you weren't. More tanky soraka = live longer = heals more.

Spellthief (don't upgrade it) > Sighstone > Ionian boots > Athene's > Rylai's > Spirit visage is my standard build, this mix some AP with tankyness, and the slow from Rylai will be great of with your E. Sell spellthief between the midgame and you have 2 more item slots to work with it, sometimes a rabbadon isn't bad because will make her W heal for almost all the HP.
