Hello, I've some pretty important questions about the support class, some may seem noobish, some may not (don't worry they are all noobish ^-^), please answer them for me~ 1)The endorsements & the skill build First of all, the endorsements. What is the best combination for the support class? I've been thinking about going for Skill recovery on Gold, not sure if it is a good thing. Anyways, here comes a question in a question; Does the rate of fire endorsement speed up your healing/draining speed of your primary weapon? About the skills, What is the best & most effective order? I usually upgrade my Passive right away and upgrade my air strike to 2 so I can farm some cash to fully upgrade later. 2)How to pick up firebases that you recently placed? Really something that annoys me to find out (if it exists), I put my firebase at the middle of some lanes, and when we start to push in further I'd love to move it there so I can fully support (get it? :c) my team. 3)Is hacking even useful? How are you supposed to hack if the turrets instantly start shooting at you when you come near? Should I even upgrade hack or put any effort in upgading it? seems pretty useless to me. Thanks in advance for reading. :v
Rate of Fire does increase the healing/draining speed! I normally use Skill - ROF - Armour, but if you check out the Strategy and Guides section of the board, there are plenty of guides written by far better Supports than I. Out of the spawn, I'll normally take Hack 2 and Passive 2, or Firebase 2 and Hack 2. More on Hack later. If you stand next to your fully-deployed Firebase, there should be a prompt to pick it up - it's the same button you use to place it in the first place. YOU CAN HACK FRIENDLY TURRETS! Hack 2 increases the range of a Turret, Hack 3 increases it's rate of fire and allows you to hack enemy Turrets. Yes, hacking is hugely important, you should make it a priority on your Upgrade list.
First of all I have never played the PC game 1)I like to go Gold RoF (make the HH gun better and the Shotgun is a beast) Silver Armor (survivability) You can switch RoF and armor too. Bronze is a tossup for me between Skill and health recovery. I don't use airstrikes too much so I use Health recovery. The first skills I upgrade are hack and firebase. Then I find a good spot for it (undercover and behind walls are good spots) then hack it. Good Firebase placement can control a lane and get many kills (especially with the shotgun). 2) whichever button used to throw the firebase is probably the same button that picks it up. 3)Hacking is very useful. It increases their range so pros won't have free shots at your turrets. The 2 rocket turrets and shave ice are the best ones to hack
I'm a "Healing" Support, so my playstyle may differ from the other supports who are very good a slaying. I have 2 builds. RoF/Skill/Armor. Skill/Rof/Armor. The first build I use when I'm playing with the more skilled players. Makes healing them much easier. Second one I use in pubs. I play much differently in there. Yeah I will still heal teammates, but its not my main goal.
