So I see that most people seem to be maxing in an order of E>Q>W, but I feel that it is more effective to get them E>W>Q, but to max Q>W>E. To me, Taric is designed to primarily keep his ADC Alive, while also providing stuns for engages, both his and the enemy's. Now that the E's primary bonus from leveling is a slight CDR reduction and a damage buff, I don't see the reason for maxing E first. Bravado is able to keep cooldown times on the stun lower, especially in longer, drawn out fights. By maxing Q first, you heal for more, and by healing when at full charges and shielding when not, you make sure to get maximum heal from your heals. I find that the main problem with this is that it is more mana intensive, as mana cost of the Q scales with level (although not as much as it used to). However, this is mitigated by rushing a frostborn gauntlet, with its mana, armor, CDR, and spellblade (four good things on taric).
