I can't imagine his clears would be very fast.

Shatter seemed to help, since it's an armor shred and AoE damage. Still not fast, but once he got blue it was safe as houses thanks to how his heal works. |

I just really like them.
Red pots are so op in close lanes as well, a 200+ hp heal that ignores ignite makes all the difference in a duel
Uh It doesn't ignore ignite and its only 125 hp per pot how I'm pretty sure.
Red Elixer. Not health pot. |

He's certainly no Udyr, but he clears well enough. Like a lot of non-bruiser tanky junglers his clear speed starts slowing once he caps out his AoE ability, but by that point objectives/ganks/warding take precedence anyway and your lanes should happily clear any neglected camps for you.Last edit: 2012-07-07 00:30:15 |

I've done some jungling taric after several botched champ selects and it's pretty terrible. His clear and gank potential are below average and his invading potential is non-existent, but his biggest problem is that he scales terribly and is just dead weight in the late game. You can't win team fights with two supports.
The jungler has to fill in an assasin or tanky bruiser role which Taric simply cannot do. |

Then what is maokai and naut defined as in your book? They're more of a tanky support than anything with their tons of cc and utility. They don't go diving the enemy carry like a bruiser would. They don't have the damage lategame that a bruiser would. They're main jobs are to protect your carry. Last edit: 2012-07-07 00:47:41 |

Yeah you can run a full aspd page and get offensive items on him to improve his clear time, but it's just so bad. His AP ratios are jokes and he has no AD steroids except for his ult. Furthermore he has no mobility so in team fights the only thing he can really do is sit on the carry.
Like I am pretty sure it is obvious and everyone knows Taric is not a jungler and should only be a support. If you wanna argue that he's better than pretty much every other support at jungling, sure you got it, but he's still really terrible at jungling. |

Yeah man, gotta get the DFG.
I dont think it actually good, but something about 1 shotting people with Taric feels so righteous.
I think Jungle Taric's ganks could be really really strong. Come from behind W->R then E them if they gonna get away. |

His ganks are quite deadly, a 1.5 sec stun is strong. His ulti gives everybody 35 AD and AP (himself twice as much) and has decent AP ratios on his skills, 240 + 60% on shatter. He ist as terrrible as you think |

The real problem with Taric is if you don't get successful ganks in the early game you start rapidly falling off in the mid game, and of course makes your late game shitty. He is also blue reliant because his mana costs are too high and his passive doesn't help regen mana as much as you would like
His ganks are DECENT but almost every jungler can gank/clear better than him, so he's just a niche for a troll jungler in normals if you're bored |

Ultimately it comes down to, if you're thinking about jungling taric, why aren't you picking Alistar, who brings a similar things to the table (Tanky, Supportive CC kit, Great ganks, and a healing ability) but jungles with it far more effectively.
Taric's bursty kit is fine in lane and gives him a good niche, but burst doesn't get you through the jungle very well.Last edit: 2012-07-07 01:33:39 |

Should be R->W instead. That way W deals more damage from the AP boost, and R doesn't profit from the Armor reduction anyways. |

And now support Maokai. Low ELO = random things all day.

On a related note, if you spectate a game with Pulsefire Ez, you can hear the robot chick everywhere on the map, not just near him.Last edit: 2012-07-07 02:53:25 |
