• Imperial Mandate
• Rylai's Crystal Scepter

Situational:

• Zhonya's Hourglass (vs AD threats)
• Banshee's Veil (vs AP threats)
• Morellonomicon (vs healing)

Support Playstyle:

• Focus on poking with Q and auto attacks
• Save stun for important engages/disengages
• Shield ADC during trades
• Use Tibbers for objective control
• Roam when possible to help mid lane

Tips:

• Stack passive before important objectives
• Use E to proc support item safely
• Position aggressively when stun is ready
• Coordinate Tibbers stun with team's CC
• Don't forget to use Tibbers for tower damage

The key to Annie support is balancing utility with damage. While you won't have the same gold income as mid lane, your base damages and reliable CC make you a constant threat throughout the game.
