You will need 2x clarity/BM setups. One for wearing wrath and one for not. If you aren't wearing wrath put in purity (likely)



Pre level 2/3 enlighten drop AA because you can't run it.



Lightning golem for attack speed.

2x Energy from Within.

Ephemeral Edge/Lori's Latern/The Sorrow of The Divine/Steppen Eard



You can literally swap latern/sorrow/steppen out for whatever you need/want. They are pretty versatile slots.



Latern is because I've wanted to test a build that uses it (still testing).



Sorrow is in a free pot slot. It solves traveling to Z/O and it solves some support issues of being on X ground and being chipped away, or on mobs. Surprisingly helpful for what seems to be a pretty shit flask.



Steppen Eard basically solves desecrated ground problems which is notoriously annoying for supports and has a great ES base. OP rolled rares would be better tho imo. The movement speed doesn't matter. You are literally whirling everywhere.

PRE 2.1

Spoiler



TL;DR versions of the support characters I have been building for the leagues. Each have different goals in mind, and some of the trees can be min/maxed further if you wanted to. Maxing something out in temp leagues HC is generally a pipe dream because the league either ends or you die. I don't play trade flipper, so I try to deal with cheap gear and see what is possible in that realm so you can support people all the way to 100 regularly with pretty amazing safety and consistency.



If you want to be a support in the current meta, win races (to 100), or hit top 20 on ladder every support build is going to generally consist of these mechanics.



2-4 Curses.

2-4 Auras.

Applying Chill.



Because the chill duration is based on damage done vs max hp % and we do zero damage it unfortunately pigeon holes us into two ways to support. Ice shot, or Whispering Ice (chilled ground left behind)



I exclusively use ice shot. Whispering ice is pretty decent for support and has it's own pros/cons but I dislike the speed where quill rain is an extremely fast aggressive curse. If you have seen us clear maps before (2 minute volcanos) you know how fast we need to go, and even then I have problems getting up curses before things die. Whispering ice can be managed to almost keep up with us, but again. I personally favor QR



Global Links -- You are always running a setup like this

Spoiler

Because you need 4 curses, you aren't using whispering ice (free link) and you don't have OP gear (+1 arrow quiv/bow) you are always going to be running 2x curse on hit setups. This is only viable because of the 3.0 attack speed that quill rain gives you. Every pack you just press Curse one + Curse two and boom, done, move on.



Double 4L or single 5L setup (dual curse)

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse



5L/4L (tri curse)

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse - Curse

' '



6L/4L (quad)

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse - Curse - Curse

' '



5L/5L (quad)

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse - Curse

Ice Shot - GMP - CoH - Curse - Curse



Easy stuff right? ;D



What curses do you run?

Spoiler

It's either 2 defense, 2 offence or 3 defense 1 offence. Depends on map mods, who's in the party, the gear level and what level map.



In 82 chains it was without question Warlords Mark/Enfeeble/Temp Chains + best offensive based on party. Which happened to be ele weakness.



In Dual curse setups its 1 def 1 off

In Tri it can be either way.



Defensive priority is usually as follows



Temp Chains == Warlords Mark > Enfeeble.



Sounds strange, but warlords mark is extremely underrated in the current meta. Most people don't really understand how good it is, so they just skip over it and go right to enfeeble (which is still strong).



As a helpful tip also. If anyone in the party has a danger from reflect damage. You ALWAYS without question socket your damage curse on hit with your warlords mark. The extra leech they get from the warlords will help with the extra damage they get from the other curse helping out with reflect mitigation.





CI Quad Curse

Spoiler

My summoner had just died in tempest at 97 while cursing high maps as tri curse, and I wasn't doing enough damage relative to everyone else. I noticed things like Poison Tempest of Poison, especially in 82 maps were prevalent, frustrating and downright stupid with vuln on you (many maps).



I could just try to get chaos res on my gear but I was focused on getting leveled, sniping pieces of high ES gear from poe.trade and then getting back up to speed with cursing for havocs group while they were trying to get to 100.



This guy was almost exclusively a curser. He ran PoL/PoF to deal with ele weakness cap, and disc for defense.

1MHC Tri Curse Witch Aura Bot

Spoiler



The tree is basically taken entirely from Bob's tempest support except we use different gear to make the magic happen. This build also can do quad curse, but just needed the gear and died before I got it.



This uses Victario's and alpha along with all the aura nodes so we can run OP versions of auras, but also run Haste/Grace/Anger/Disc + low level clarity all at the same time, while still casting on mana.



I was messing around with stuff a little on this build and I swapped out GMP for LMP to try and curse with it. The difference is small, but it let me run a low level clarity with a smaller mana multiplier which allowed me to get ~60 mana regen which is just above the ~54 required amount for sustain of ice shot coh with LMP.



You have 9 or 10K EHP (hybrid) and have about 40% chance to evade.



Downsides on this build are for sure the 65% chance to hit. No one has ever come close to dying because of it other than myself (because you are the one tagging bosses with 1P). So if you can handle that, it's not a big deal. But it's noticeable.

1MHC Quad Curse Aura Bot Maruader

Spoiler



This build was originally just something to do before the league was over, also to test RT (which turns out to be great for cursing). But ended up working pretty well, but it's overall gear investment continues to grow.



This build is slightly different than the others, simply because I'm geared to supporting a vaal sparker (but can support everything obviously). Because of this, I grab extra res on the maruader side of the tree which with OP gear can be changed out into life.



You're using 6 uniques, which leaves you with 4 slots left to get enough res to be good to go. Right now my gear is only good enough to do non-ele weak maps. But the vaal sparker wont be doing those anyways. If I am supporting a regular build I remove Romaira's for the power charge generation and put on an all res/health ring.



Because using kaom's causes the build to be so stressed for links, I'm not running vaal haste (lol bad support). But instead vaal clarity because havoc routinely goes OOM on bosses and other stuff. If you were just running with regular party you can rechrome for vaal haste and other goodies.

Darkshrine EB QuadCurse L28 Anger Variant.

Spoiler



So, someone had messaged me asking me what if you could get EB and into the build. I gave it some thought and this is what I came up with (since it's actually pretty sweet imo).



Going EB costs a few extra points but it allows you to ditch Alpha's Howl, switch over to casting on ES, and then you get a +3 ES on hit (+1 max from mana on hit) jewel, giving you better sustain for casting than the previous build. This build also uses an actual chest, so it's easier to get +max res and also quad curse because of the 5L/5L



I chose Geofri's Crest for an easy +20 all res +30 chaos and +1 gems. This allows you to dump in a level 2 empower (+1 to 3) and a level 2 enlighten (+1 to 3) and get an really good 60% aura of your choice. Combine this with another level 3 enlighten and you can run standard anger/haste/grace

Although I don't think it's required. It's just to good to not have.Because the chill duration is based on damage done vs max hp % and we do zero damage it unfortunately pigeon holes us into two ways to support. Ice shot, or Whispering Ice (chilled ground left behind)I exclusively use ice shot. Whispering ice is pretty decent for support and has it's own pros/cons but I dislike the speed where quill rain is an extremely fast aggressive curse. If you have seen us clear maps before (2 minute volcanos) you know how fast we need to go, and even then I have problems getting up curses before things die.
