hey guys, my main is a w/ and tbh im alittle tired of melee but since im near gwamm on it i dont want to move to another character yet. i tend to play with my heroes using spiritway and was wondering if theres a good support role (read shouts and attack buffs/defence) that i could use. if i was a p/ primary id go imbagon but not sure how itd work with w/ as primary

Tactics has some skills, but the only real warrior support skill is SY, imo

Well... they are good builds which provides other support than just pure damage (spamming SY, interrupts, knockdowns), but all are melee builds.

Edit: you can try use energy generating skills like Warrior's Endurance, Wary Stance, Bonetti's Defense or Balthazar's Spirit and use it for some support using secondary profession ... but you still need to be in melee and probably less effective support than SY or kd's spam.

Edit2: Meteor Shower + stonefist insignia is crazy strong, but it is really hard to make usable warrior build with it (energy, exhaustion). In HM Churning Earth + stonefist insignia can work well, but still sub-par to old good Earth Shaker.

1. Please post a build so we can see what you are thinking.
2. Warriors aren't meant for support and they don't have the energy return paras have or the recharge of casters. You may need to use warrior's endurance to use more than 1-2 energy skills which would limit you even more and keep you in the front line.
3. Sounds like you need a short break from warrior.

You could always just try running a spirit based build yourself (put something else into a hero slot). If you avoid the really expensive ones and use Spirit Siphon a lot you should be fine energy-wise. It's obviously not optimal and possibly not what you're looking for, but meh.

i was thinking of running something along the lines of:

pain inverter
finish him
sy
protectors defence
anthem of envy

since my heroes do all the damage and its just vqing it doesnt need to be perfect, just a change tbh

W/R is always a good laugh. Prepared Shot, Read The Wind, Flail, D-Shot, Savage Shot, Save Yourselves, Finish Him, Pain Inverter?
