What's the closest class/build I can get to being a Healer/Support Priest?

Im trying a block char good hp + tempest shield and maximize on block%

If u wanna heal ure team = u take hits for them its the same effect base down.

if u want, send me a pm and i can send u the tree i am trying out ( but i have no clue if it wil work out xD )

would run 5 curses at once ( with uniq items) thats the best support i think
and believe me youre busy casting those 5 curses and dont have time for anything else...

Tried to make a build for this :)

Passives

It has Iron Reflexes, 3 Power, 3 Frenzy, 2 Endurance Charge. Nice life and armour and damage dealer too :)

Unique Items would be Kaom's Sign, Doedre's Damning and the new Frenzy boots I guess. Also , The covenant chest for some auras ( wrath, grace, anger etc. )

Main skill will be Power Siphon of course. I don't think Power charge on crit unique or gem would be efficient as Power Siphon. Well , maybe Ice Spear with Power charge on crit would work well.

I have been thinking of a CI Witch with clarity+as many beneficial auras with Skeleton totem+spark totem+3 curses+freeze mine+power/endurance charge conduit
so basicly spark for the shock effect and power charges, skeleton totem for the meat shields and curses like enfeeble/chains/ele weakness for the extra utility. Freeze mine can work when there are a group of skeleton mages

Don't forget that having +X maximum charges in your build (passives or gear) doesn't make your allies get more charges via conduit, they still have their own maximum (default is 3).

Okay, so that idea isn't working, but I don't want to give up the support based aspect.

What if I were to make my character a Summoner with Aura/Curse stacking to boost my minions and assist groups. Would that be viable for solo/group play on Hardcore?

The answer is "No."

Support= Full Aura, Conduit, IIQ+IIR Gear, Culling Strike, Templar Wander.

So it's not possible to run a Summoner and maintain multiple curses/auras/totems?

Did you ever figure out a workable support build? I'm really hoping to try one myself, and I'm wondering if over a decade of updates might have changed anything?
