1. What is a fun support class? im not just refering to Bishops since i guess you can claim they are the only support class depending how you look at it but im not a fan of being the whole healer type play um in other mmorpg's all the time. i mean i think Bucs got SI, Hunters got SE, rest im not too sure of Bishops got a lot of stuff like healing and all that. 2. Is there some sort of guide to follow if not wanting to HP wash? i figure i put enough into my 2ndary stat to wear the highest gear possible but yea im not funded or anything this will be my main. i just don't care too much about HP washing in general.
I would suggest Paladin, they are sought for because of CR buff that can negate 50% of bosses weapon cancel for the whole party. Since its warrior, you can pretty much skip washing.. tho i would still recommend to go for 30k HP since its super easy on warriors and feels nice.
besides buccaneer and paladin I'd say marksman is a great support class too, even over BM thanks to the fact they have blind (provides avoidability bonus to a bossing party), and can freeze/lure/push multiple monsters too. oh, and sharp eyes, you know. fun fact about marksman: snipe hits through weapon cancel, so that's some free 200k shots every few seconds in case your party doesn't have a paladin with crash buff.
i ended up making a pirate -> gunslinger so far having fun with it but sucks im tryna KPQ but idk my damage just isn't there. lvl 26-27 i started hitting lots of 1's. Full dex for now. had same issue with my hunter yesterday
