Max E > R > Q > W note: most guides will say max R first. It is impossible to put a point in R that would block points in your first-to-max skill. Pet peeve.

Your goal is basically to keep your lane/team topped off on health and to provide good engages. Your damage greatly stems from sunfire, your passive, and of course ardent censor. Your exhaust will be up very frequently, plus you have spooky ghosts and an AOE shield for additional team defense. When the going gets really tough, pop your ult. As long as you camp your adc, keep'em buffed, and peel enemies like they're oranges, you should come out ahead.

The nerf to E does hurt this build somewhat, but it still works quite well.

Or just go AP Alistar Mid and literally 1-shot carries late game with your W>Q combo.

But that's two shots.

Youn should really switch to Movespeed Quints. Positioning is essential for Alistars QW combo.

That's a fair assessment. If you don't have mana issues, movement is the next best thing.

I really don't understand how you need so many MP5 Runes... Your first 2 items provide plenty of mana regen anyway, and your masteries too...

With this build, you can spam E on cooldown. If your adc or you take any damage, you stay at 100% health. Even so, Alistar can still go oom if you have to use your w q and w a lot, so the goal is to guard your adc and shuttle down the enemy, only going in when kills are assured

Spellblade? You almost never attack them with Alister so how can that item give you gold on Alister?

It's for the spooky ghosts. That said, your passive as well as spells also proc it, so you can always dive every so often when you hit max charges to use your procs.

A single WQ Passive will proc three charges, it's easier to use than it looks at first glance.

You don't have to interpret R>Q>W>E as max X thing first. You can also interpret it as "When available, put a point into this skill over the others." So when R is available, put a point into it over Q, W or E.

NebuulMar 8, 20161 votes

No. If you put a point into E at 1 4 5 7 9, then there is literally no opportunity to put a point into R instead. At no point can you ever put a point into R over your first max skill. It is impossibru!

That's why I said

{quoted} "When available, put a point into this skill over the others."

For example, when you're level 6 you have all skills available to rank. Looking a R>Q>W>E, you rank R since it takes priority over the available skills.

To me, E>R>Q>W reads "E takes priority over R." That means even when R and W are available at the same time, take E over R.

If it makes you feel better, you are free to say whatever you want :-)

The fact still remains that, with normal skill leveling behavior, at no point Will you ever be able to put a point into R instead of the non-ultimate skill you choose to level first. The way my mind works, that is how I think of it. That's why I put it was a pet peeve. It's just my personal quirk about accuracy with regard to certain things.
