nowadays support classes arent that good and popular, i think they need more unique buffs like it was before
before there was no Lion blessing that gives you empowered, the only way to get it was gong and totem as far as i remember
Fury buff was only with fox and shinobi weapon ability.
with new blessings and items support buffs went uselless.
My ideas how to make them good again :
Gong change - make gong gives +3-12 str depends on gong tier(random numbers actually)
Shino weapon ability - gives dex increase instead fury
totem - gives str and armor instead empowered and armored buffs, save healing buff as its now
skull bombs - gives 10 str instead empowered and heal same amount of health

this is most simple idea i had in my head. It could be different in numbers but my end opinion is that supports should have something special

Honestly a really simple and elegent solution to making the supports matter more without complicating things. Good idea Javri cheddarthumb

they also could have more new unique group buffs, for example invul for party for 1.5 secs
Or make it for tank classes. Like shield that block bullets for 2 seconds idk.
I really like the idea for mmo games that brings more coop actions for party

#

but with current system blocking bullets will work only for tank . other players will still see them and thats not what i really enjoy about in current state. I would like to have atleast some bullets that can be server destroyable instead client only
Like if bastion eats big pirate ball it will dissapear for everyone

It would allow optimal positioning and play by eating a bullet that might allow your other friends to stick their ground instead of jumping/dashing away

yes. it also brings strategies for future dungeons . In my head dungeons was always a group content. At current state of the game dungeons require 1 player only. I would like if it will require few players and for best clear potential you will HAVE to bring tank and support in dungeon

How about healing abilities can let you heal 20% past max hp for a short duration

#

like an hp buff?

#

[if you heal someone who has max hp already or it goes over max]

#

itll go over max hp

#

if your max hp is 700, you might be able to heal up to 800 from support abilities

#

the effect should slowly ware off though to avoid it being too op

thats pretty cool

#

would have to set a cap though so multiple supports wouldnt push you above the 1ks
