So occasionally I get in a game of support, and I usually play either Alistar or Thresh, who have similar build paths, but I'm still left rather unsure on whether I should take Face of The Mountain or Eye of The Equinox, because form gives the active shield, but the eye of the equinox combines targon's with a sightstone. Someone give me a hand here.
RenownedWheat423 votesIf you need hella shields go Face. If you're ahead and can get an additional tanky item, go Eye and then build something else.
PimpStickNasus1 votesI'm bad but I play sion as main support and I'll normally get face of the mountain for the shield and ruby sightstone
EndlessSorcerer1 votesPersonally, I rarely bother upgrading my gold item; I prefer building directly into my Sightstone and utility items.
Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari, Ardent Censor and Knight's Vow are all extremely influential and you want to get them as early as possible.

But... doesn't more gold gen speed up your items?
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThe upgraded gold generation items take quite a while to pay for themselves.
If I skip them in favour of strong items, I have a stronger influence in early skirmishes.
For example, which of the two following builds do you think would be more influential in an early skirmish?
[1] 
[2] 
[3] 
[4] 
Note: Gold values should be relatively similar, but I haven't double-checked.
