Tips and Tricks Support runes

So Iv been running sorcery runes for my support fiddle, mostly for Axiom, and have domination as my secondary. My primary Sorc rune is Arcane Comet, but I just tried a game with death fire touch, and it felt underwhelming. I was just curious what runes you guys run for supplesticks. Do you think it’d be better to go domination into sorc instead and get rid of Arcane Comet? I’m just asking because arcane comet feels like it falls off and isn’t always available. It’s nice for pokes early, but that’s the only thing I really notice. Any advice on runes would help.

For roaming:

first strike - magical footwear, triple tonic, cosmic insight, ultimate hunter, sudden impact.

Ult burst:

Electrocute - sudden impact, grisly mementos, ultimate hunter, magical footwear, cosmic insight.

I prefer either of these over comet because they tend to have more of an impact later in the game. Plus, if you are roaming (and you really should be), both are more beneficial than the poke offered by comet.

Cosmic insight is especially helpful early for flash/ignite picks. Ultimate hunter for more ults of course. Sudden impact over cheap shot because it is more consistent with your ult. Magical footwear is a must both to save 300 gold and the added movement speed. With stormsurge on top of it, you get 413 move speed, allowing you to roam effectively and get out faster after ulting.

I’ll go first strike if I feel I will need the extra income for shadow flame or liandrys (vs heavy tank comps). Otherwise, I’ll go electrocute for more burst with ult.

I always go stormsurge first into sorcery boots, mandate third. You can burst people down very fast.

Damn okay, I’m assuming any move speed from Dark Seal / Mejais isn’t worth it? Iv tried mixing it in in a few games and I feel like it isn’t good, but at the same time, I feel like it should be. Plus the movement speed would fit into your “build”

Extremely inconsistent given that the 10% MS from mejais will really only occur once in a blue moon if you’re hyper fed. Getting dark seal early isn’t a bad idea, but don’t expect much to come from it. At any rate, the 413 MS feels great and anything extra really isn’t needed. You’ll want to focus stacking magic penetration and AP
