Classes/Skills that support allies

[Traxxar]

I am going to play some GD with someone else and was trying to find out what skills support allies (not pets) and put together this list. Anything I missed?

Looks to me that Shaman is the best class to support others and I would rank Arcanist as the second best.


Demolitionist
- Flametouched (offensive, fire and lightning damage)

Occultist
- slow down effects for opponents
- Familiar - Storm Spirit (small radius)
- Hellhound - Hellfire (Chaos, Fire and Burn damage)

Arcanist
- Iskandra's element exchange (increase elemental damage + energy regeneration)
+ Manifestation to even increase it
- Nullification (reduce negative effects on allies - small radius)

Shaman
- slow down effects for opponents
- Mogdrogen's Pact (more health and energy)
- Wendigo Totem (Heals allies - smallish radius)
- Braithorn - Emboldening Roar (Offensive and defensive boni)

Soldier - field command
Occultist Curse of Frailty - technically not an ally buff, but still benefits the group
Blood of dreeg - helps heal allies

Soldier Field command didn't seem to support allies. Are you sure?

Yep it does, My warder uses it

Edit 1 Any skill you see that has a radius listed affects any allies within it.

Edit 2 Any skill that has a radius that affects enemies also is benficial to allies such as reducing resists of opponents.

A way to test if you have some chars already made, is goto town and you will see what effects the town guards. You will see the affects of the aura appear on them.

Use this iste to look at it all. https://grimcalc.com/ Can even plan your builds using it.

I'm currently running a pretty much pure demolitionist, and their aura can be skilled to not only increase ally damage, but armor as well. It's further down the same line. It also includes some other nifty features, though I forget what off the top of my head.

conjurer is really good for a support class, healing aura and slow debuff. I'm currently leveling my vitality conjurer on elite.

Thanks. That is more a player skill than a synergy of classes and skills ;)

Thank you to everyone else for providing input. The trick with testing in a town is a good one to certainly remember.
