Flat AP vs +% healing/shielding (for supports)

SwiftKitten88·Nov 13, 2016·1 votes·725 views

At what point does just going +shielding gives you more shield than just more ap?

for example if i have support even if i just wanted more shields, wouldn't i still be better off getting over / anyways?

i mean, personally i think either way would be better because it makes my skills stronger too, but if we were JUST looking at the 10% more shielding and based on the +ap used for JUST the shielding and not the damage. wouldn't STILL be better?

Well, format looks awful.

tl;dr: Each +10% healing is worth 55AP (+6 per 100AP) on Lux's Prismatic Barrier.

If you have multiple abilities with useful AP ratios, building AP is better than stacking multiple sources of +healing.
