or should i just go with the basic support build?
Since Soraka's W damages her, having more hp would make it less noticeable, and with more HP you could stay alive longer i guess.
Ive experimented, but i cant decide:
sometimes 
or
sometimes 
Can you guys give me tips on what the best Soraka build is? I like it when my build has a little bit of everything, to me, survivability is the key. [sg-soraka]
The thigh guy2 votesSoraka’s heal takes a % of your hp. Not a flat amount. Tbh I wouldn’t go past 3000 with a warmogs on her.
Jamaree1 votesIt depends on the game honestly, if you are getting focused, the top one is better, if not, then bottom.
ZerglingOne1 votesPersonally I like 
over Visage because the Catalyst passive is a really good way to get mana back when you have
It also gives you a good reason to eat poke sometimes instead of just avoiding it so you can spam more heals.
xDogMeatx1 votesyou build a little bit of HP/survivability on her to cushion her from death dealing assassins. other than that though if theres no real assassins that can hurt you even if they hard focus you i see no real danger going knights vow with other heal amps.
Néékö1 votesPlaying the support role with low income you need to go for cheap items.
Is some of the choices I go for, max c/d with warmog makes for a decent hp bot. Botrk is a nightmare tho if you get jumped/focused.
0 Hogapu1 votesYou lose 10% of your max HP as Soraka whenever you cast W, meaning, the more hp you have, the more hp the spell costs
if you go full ap/healing, the spell costs not so much and will heal much more. And you will heal much more through your Q (proportionally)
But going full tank will make you tankier (really ?!!) and harder to kill. maybe a mix of the 2 builds can be more valuable
Vlada Cut1 votesNo, you need AP to outscale her self damage with your healing.
If you want a tankier, more sustainable build, take 
.
