I've got a base support build that I have been having a lot of fun with lately but need some ideas on making it more versatile.
The basis revolves around SOI with a few PVE skills.
1) Signet of Illusions
2) Great Dwarf Weapon. Go into a heavy barrage group and keep it going on 3 barrage rangers. Yeah yeah, removes their famous "splinter weapon" but +21 dmg and 42% chance to KD on 3 barrage rangers = fun times. They can always spec conjure flame or judges insight (undead anyone?)
3) Summon Ruby Djinn/Mursaat. A lvl 21 that you can keep up all the time is pretty nice, and its fire and forget.
4) Ebon Assassin Support - same deal, lvl 21 that I throw onto the monk in the backline. You'd be surprised how fast the groups go when this little guy is hacking on their monk.
5) ?
6) ?
7) ?
8) Rez
A few things I have used in optional slots are:
-Well of Ruin, Well of Blood. Good support for frontline, and well of ruin is awesome with a grp of barrage.
-Blood Ritual. Give the monks some love
-Remove Hex. Some general support
-Judge's Insight. When fighting undead
-Restore Life - A great backline rez skill because of the massive energy gained when rezzed
-Order of Pain?? - Another nice boost for a barrage spike? I have heard bad things about how order of pain sucks now, but I've never used it. I would think great dwarf and order of pain would net some pretty nasty barrage numbers.
But, most of these options are specific to your area. I am trying to get some ideas for a more well-rounded build to take anywhere.
thanks for help, go easy on the flaming

E-management never hurts. I'd toss in something spammable like Snow Storm along with Power Drain and maybe Auspicious or another PvE spell. (some Asura skills are nice)

I wish remember you can only carry 3 PvE skills on your bar at once

At least one of the skills should be for energy management
