Is AP Taric better than Support Taric?
In our Season 3 damage simulator AP Taric does 1,095 combo-plus-autos damage at level 18 against 1900 HP / 75 armour / 50 MR, which is +134% versus Support Taric, with 5,412 effective HP (-47%). That is a damage comparison, not a verdict: Late. Imbue's heal and Radiance's aura are what make Taric worth a slot at twenty-five minutes, and this build spent that gold on damage instead.
When should I play AP Taric?
In lane. A stun that cannot be dodged followed by a Shatter behind real AP simply wins the level-two all-in against any bottom lane pairing. Dazzle and Shatter both carry large ability power ratios, so the point-and-click stun that made him a support becomes the opener of a burst combo.
