Loving the new Stoneborn Pact

When I first looked at the new Stoneborn Pact I'll be honest I was underwelmed, the numbers don't appear to be anything amazing. At 3000Hp, a champion when procing SBP will heal around 80Hp over 2 seconds, half for ranged. Good but not spectacular. But I had not considered the lack of a cooldown on applying the mark, and right now has made this mastery one of my favourites for one reason. Beacuse it's given one of my favourite champions the push he needed to be truly outrageous again.

Taric Taric is a good champ. He can work at top (never tried it myself though), and support, but currently his support has been a bit meh. it has it's problems. His healing on a single target is garbage, and his W shield stacks off of the allies health, meaning it's better on a jungler / tank than the ADC, who you'd want to put it on. But in comes Stoneborn Pact. With Taric's silly cooldowns (or lack of) and using the item 3025 with a huge amount of armour, you're applying this mark to multiple champs every second It's really helped make up for Taric's rather pitiful healing and for that Riot I have to say a massive thankyou.

I can't wait to try it on Sion support as well. A good amount of CC and a silly high amount of health.

TLDR: Taric + SBP = Truly truly truly outrageous. Anyone else having good time with the new mastery and with which champions?

I'm still not even noticing the heals from the mastery so far. It's like Knight's Vow: Sounds sexy, but in practice incredibly meh.

Umm you sir are playing taric inefficient. Taric is basically a melee version of janna and raka and with that I playing him as such. Wind speakers blessing and face of the mountain ruby ss redemption

I've been playing Taric jungle alot, Try it; it's really fun. Your spells will almost always be up with blue since you can spam everything with your passive and your e flash ganks are amazing.
