On Sona I get fairie charm + 3 wards (1 purple) + health pot into philo, HoG, Merc treads, Chalice, HoG, Solari, Randuins, Shureilia's rarely get beyond this point but probably some aura items. Aside from the obvious skill leveling do you get heal or speed up first after the first point? On Soraka I go regen pendant+ward into philo, HoG, Merc treads, Shurelia's, HoG, Solari, Randuins, Abyscell scepter, Frozen heart, Rylai's. Aside from the obvious again do you get a point into star call early? If so, why? Do you use your ultimate to get assists even though your heal isn't needed at all?
These are the (final) items I usually get on a support Soraka, in no particular order:
Philo Stone --> Shurelya's
HoG --> Locket of the Iron Solari (yay!)
Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Aegis of the Legion
WotA (if necessary)
Randuins (if necessary)
Abyssal Scepter
Kage's Lucky Pick --> Keep for GP5, sell later when you're through with it.
For support Sona, its about the same. Though if you wish, you can throw in a Tear since you'll be stance dancing through your abilities while supporting.
About Starcall: If I'm playing support Soraka, I will not get it unless absolute necessary (in other words, max W and E first). Though I have the option to just put one point in it early and just leave it there. Some people you might lane with will go OCD on you if you spam that skill. Just a heads up. In the event you're by yourself waiting for your laning partner to come back, use it to farm up a bit (but don't push lane too far).
tl;dr about Starcall: Max it last, get one point if you want, but don't touch it until later on.
