anyone using a good custom build for the support? i like the one you start with but wanted to know whats the very best. thanks
dare say its gold rate, silver skill, and bronze armor. but thats typical to cover the support's natural abilities. you may perfer speed instead of armor, or silver armor and bronze skill. thats why its "customizable", because different endorsements give you different edges, and you may like them more.
There is no such thing as a perfect build. there are several factors. a better idea would be: give us something to go off of. some good general tips: use armor, rate of fire, and skill recovery in whatever order and you will generally be ok.
You'll need armor as your bronze sponsor at least. If you really like to turtle, hack, heal and throw airstrikes, your best bet is probably Gold Rof, Silver skill regen, and bronze armor. The high Rof will help you heal faster and help you get juice faster while healing turrets, bots and teammates. The silver skill regen will let you keep 3 turrets hacked and give you airstrikes at lvl 3 pretty quick. You could probably swap the RoF and regen, see if you prefer that. You could keep 4 hacks going, and get airstrikes even faster. I tend to stick with the gold RoF just so I can keep turrets up while they are under fire, and I'm always working on getting juice.
honestly i use the support more for his shotgun and airstrike. i still use the turret, but almost never hack and upgrade it. (i am the OP on new account)
Skill recovery- you absolutely need this, especially post-Spunky because of the huge nerf on Airstrikes. I feel like running Gold RoF turns the support into a kill-whore class and takes away from his hack and airstrike support. A good hack schedule helps the team tremendously and you need to be on top of this. Hack is especially useful post-spunky because Level 3 rockets are cheaper and easier to come around now. A 3.3 rocket is a beast. Let the killing classes kill and do your job as a support Armor- This is replaceable with RoF simply because of the healing benefits but I run it because I tend to be an offensive support meaning I can help in the front line and I am beast with a shotty when need be I am never comfortable in the base. After all turrets are accounted for I am there in the front lines. RoF- I like using RoF as my bronze because I never feel like gold RoF is really needed when healing. There are times obviously when I regret this but in the long run, you are going to heal a Gunner or Tank just the same. Just remember, tanks are better CQC classes than Supports so lets not try and take their job
