Depends,do you want a purely damage SnS build or a support including one?

[BrotherO4]

well this is a new build i am testing, its meant to be a cross between attacking and Defense

Att 4
health 3
weakness Exploit
Guard 3
Divine 3
Crit boost 2
recovering speed 1
fortify 1

armor are

Cross B
Dober B
Kaiser B
Guild B
Dober B
exploiter

.........

pure Attacking build

att 7
crit boost 3
weakness 3
might 3

armor

Nerg
Dober
Kaiser
Nerg
Nerg
Exploiter

note the builds are meant for end game which...the pure Attacking build is completely hard to even get so unless god is on your side with 4 attacking gems...use the first one.

you can even trade recovering for one attacking gem to bring it to level 5. the first one build is design to give good damage with pretty good safety net.

Support SNS wide range build

end game stuff make sure to finish all optinals to unlock comission armor

496 Defense go to canteen to get DEF L to make it 526 defense
or use armor skin to go past 500 def. and cateen to get ELemental L resist

Speed eating - eats / drink items faster

Wide range max - self explanatory

item prolonger - extends duration of buffs like admant seed for example

Free Meal - chance not to consume item / drink for free

Flinch - dual blades and longswords gives me cancer when they fight near me

Guard up - blocks ubblockable .i have this just in case i dont make it to flash temper monster like teo supernova to save somone if they cant do the superman dive

protection - reduce damage

mushroom mancer - blue shrooms for heals like regular potions . toadtools for natural healings

augments on my sns health and decorations. 3rd augment will to get it to +25 defence

There are two options if you don't want support. Go full elemental damage build, or non elemental damage build. I main elemental but it takes more resources and prep because you're going to need lots of different SnS weapons.
Using armour with free element is good too because the free element weapons are often the best of that element or status.
The build is similar to this:

Some of thise gems or pieces of armour can be mixed or matched to your liking. I often use a free element gem with another piece of free element armour.
The element less raw build is similar to this:

I don't use that though because you basically have to repeat on attack over and over to do good dps it's boring...

Every weapon is viable.

Is it possible to make a support build that still does good dps? What are the essential support skills in this case and what would be the best weapon?

Honestly, I don't think so. It's better to go all in to one skill set or the other. You can have something that is average at both, I'm sure, but I think mixing the correct armour sets might be difficult. SnS generally doesn't have particularly high dps in the first place, so if you want good dps, you can't be splitting it in half, however...
SnS is about versatility more than anything, so I wouldn't worry about DPS if you also want to support.
If you want to try something mixed, I would get max mushroommancer with some degree of wide-range, Mushroomancer and wide range is crazy good for support. And then focus on elementless damage and critical hits because balancing support and elemental damage would be a nightmare. The Barroth 3 SnS with an elementless gem does riduclous raw damage. I'd aim for something along those lines. You'd probably need some good gems to make it viable though.

yes it is. i have a buddy who specializes HH support, and regularly has the highest dps of the squad.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise they asked about other weapons. I thought they were asking for SnS. For HH, it's a different story. You can build HH skills to do great damage rather than spec skill for support because the support element is built into the weapon itself.
With SnS, you have to take up skill slots...
Also, using the DPS meter, then...? :-P

If you want support sns then elemental ones + rathalos 2p.

Club and Shield...it can sever tails, and beat criminal scum unconscious in equal measure
