Lane Clearing Support Builds?

What are some good builds for a support bent on locking down lanes solo with his firebase and shotgun?

Also, what would be some good skill pick orders?

Gold : ROF
Silver : Armor
Bronze : Skill recovery

Buy order :

-Spawn (hacking,firebase to lvl 2)
After goes airstrike 2 > airstrike 3 , passive 2 > hack 3 > passive 3.

That's my things

Locking down lanes as support can be immensely frustrating.

Your weapons are pretty terrible for killing bots, so really your only option is to drop and hack your FB and let it kill the bots, while you protect your FB from Pro's. Seems easy, but the problem is, if you do it well, your bots will push forward outside of the range of your FB. Or your team will "help" and push the bots outside of the range of your FB. You have to get the hang of creeping with your FB until you reach their bot spawner, while keeping it under cover and away from ejectors.

I run with Gold ROF, Silver Skills, Bronze Armor.

I'm also not a fan of going for lvl 3 airstrike right away. I go hack/turret at start, then airstrike, then passive, then airstrike, hack or passive 3 depending on how the games going, i rarely ever take lvl 3 turret, as 4 gap shots > lvl 3 turret. I prefer the passive boosts to bots/hp over another airstrike, as I find it helps me push lanes faster/farther. That and Mikey wont shut the hell up about upgrading my skills.

Another approach is to drop your turret just outside of your base and hack it, find a place thats under cover, and high traffic.. then push the other lane with your team, and come back to check on your turret and over heal it/rehack it as you're able. This can shut down one lane while you push the other, and will give you a bit of warning if the other team is pushing that side (FB destroyed/in the red = run back to base)

I run the G- RoF S-Armor B-Skill. The trick with laning as a support, I've found, is to attack from behind the bots. If you are running straight into a lane. Pop off a couple slims as you run through them. Once behind the enemy pack turn melee/grapple the blackjack and kill the remaining slims. Don't be afraid to burn grapple on Blackjacks. Its much quicker than wasting your whole clip on a BJ and really there is no need to ever grapple a pro unless they are juiced. This will clear any early game pack in about 5 seconds, with you taking minimal damage. Bait enemy pros around corners and use this games third person perspective to your advantage.

Try to keep the speed power up at all times. It will make you extremely deadly.

LaserRazor and Spunkycola are support heaven. You can just set up in the middle and generate tons of money. And when you aren't getting kills you just heal gun everything friendly for juice. Pop Juiced and pillage the enemy base and turrets. Lather Rinse repeat.

If the enemy team is running the bottleneck at their base. Just fall back and spend all the hard earned cash on 4/6 Gapshots. Nothing is sweeter than the sound of massed artillery and lots of moneys hitting your account.

I prefer getting Airstrike 3 asap. There are just to many uses for it. Quick killing turrets early game. Using it as a buffer to get out of a battle where you are outnumbered. And there is nothing worse than seeing the perfect opportunity to ruin a back door and not having an airstrike available.
