Hey
Got another support build in the works and just needs a bit of checking:
This build is more of a focus on a Angelic/Seraphim build that took small inspiration from "Jade" (Warframe), as of course this is only inspiration, so no need to strictly stick to the theme of a Angelic/Seraphim.
To start of the build: I have my Combo & AoE for atleast some DPS to keep myself protected, as for the rest of the powers I've gone for the ever fitting Passive for a Support (Might not be as strong as other support passives, if that IS the case, I will change it).
Will-o'-the-Wisp was originally illumination but swapped it due to it'll be eaiser to up-keep and it will porc Conjuring, Hex of Suffering to help up-keep the spam of Curse to futher up-keep Conjuring.
My main heal is Celestial Conduit (Unsure if the Adv chains to Allies or not) also have Ascension to boost DPS a tat and my Healing, also to consume my illuminations and then ofc for typical support, a Ally Rez and Self-Rez with a AD.
Specs/Tels and so on are unchnaged from my 2 other Healer Builds

Ofc, you can also change the slotted passive to a Sorc aura if you want to be more selfless as a Support, though Seraphim is okay for casual stuff and/or if you want to try something different.

I must admit, I struggle a bit to try find the right starting powers to allow me to unlock the other tires of powers, but I think I got it now, this is different version of the build:
I've gone ahead and used Archery to set up my EB and 2nd power to then picked a Long-Range heal, this being Medical Arrow for the 100ft range, not as effective as a pure outright target ally, heal but still works well. (since works okay in my other build)
Since I do have the Adv/w Medical Arrow, on top of Guide, I don't think I'll need Illumination as a serpate power, so I cuold dtich that for something else or go for the: Strafe/Snap & Desperate Shot trio and have Illumination itself be replaced by Medical Arrow. (Don't think it matters either way)
Rest of the powers has been unchnaged from what you have given me (I think..)

I'll give Seraphim a try since I don't do any "end-game" content and do want to test how well it is over the Ao Passives, if it truns out not as great, I'll go ahead and swap the passives.
Edit: So I did Notice the build lacks some sort of Offensive AoE (Besides Wisp), so I could have Soinc Arrow, over Snap Shot if needed, sure on a cooldown but I shuold be okay without any Direct Attacks.
Also as I said above, if I don't need Illumination as a power itself, I cuold go for Soinc Arrow and Gas Arrow for some atleast more AoE/Direct Attacks or what I was planning during testing Expulse, but agian, just suggetions really.
Another way I can go about this build is: Throw Fire/Fire Strike or Living Fire, Ice Shards and Blast/w a 100tf Heal, etc, there is a few ways I can go with this.

This is another way I cuold go with the build, I do lose out on a Self-Rez, but this build doesn't have the use of a Bow but uses Fire Strike/Expulse and for my 100ft Heal Psionic Healing.
Here you have many powers that you can train early (Rebuke, Conduit, Seraphim, Compassion, Illum, Conjuring, a block power, etc..) that you shouldn't have to worry about not unlocking later tiers. You tend to put some of these types of powers (early tier ones, like the energy unlock or toggle/form) near the end of your posted builds, when I hope you know that you could train in them earlier, if it helps you w/ tier unlocks.
Anyways, I would normally say that something like Wisp's Guide or Med Arrow's adv can cover Illum, but if you're using Celestial Conduit in particular then I may still take Illumination (the power) itself so you have more control over what allies get the buff for Conduit's chaining (since you can't target allies w/ Med Arrow or the Wisp). That said, I don't think you need both Wisp w/ Guide and Med Arrow w/ Illum adv here- I may just pick one or the other (and maybe put a normal AoE in there). You could even drop both the Wisp and Med Arrow and just rely on Illum (the power) for buffing and debuffing, but Illum is limited to 50ft and it may still be nice to have the extra flexibility w/ Wisp_Med Arrow.
It's also kinda weird to take Archery powers now (unless you envisioned your character using a bow pretty often?). I'd still prob put Rebuke in the build since it fits the Seraphim theme and it covers both long-ranged healing and single-target dmg in one power slot (so you wouldn't need Snap Shot, Fire Strike, TK Strike, or w/e else). I guess I have to just go back to recommending my edit to the build, though you could change the basic AoE from TK Burst to something else (if desired) and could also replace the Wisp w/ Med Arrow + Illum adv (again, if desired)- as well as potentially other things (like the block power and/or the slotted passive).
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
Yeah, I forgot I can use the EU and form to slot in so I can unlock later tiers, thanks for reminding me lol
Yeah, I think it is best to keep in Illumination (the power) itself so I can have more control over what allies get the buff for Conduit's chaining as you said, so that's staying in.
Oh, well I placed in Med Arrow w/ Illum adv here just for the 100ft ranged Heal since I didn't want to use Rebuke as the Seraphim powers can be a bit iffy with how they target (functionality depends on whether you are targeting an ally or a foe) so I wanted to only use Celestial Conduit as my main heal/w then a 100ft ranged heal from another tree
So yes, while I am keeping the Seraphim theme, I was open to change the starting powers and pick a Bow to go for a Seraphim useing a Bow of some sort, but like you said above I have many powers that I can train early, so wanted to see if the 3 starting powers will work with the build.
Likewise the mian structure of the build is Seraphim based but if I was unable to train the powers early as you said, I've had edited the starting powers a bit and worked around the theme, hope that makes sense, I'll take a another look at the build to see what I want to set in stone.
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
I think I have finally settled on what I'll like for the build:
After throwing ideas around in my head I have gone for more of a Celestial Fire type of Seraphim build, or "Lore Accurate Angel" (whatever slag is these days, Biblically Accurate is also another slang lol).
I replaced the Passive with Hearth since it seems just a buffed version of the Seraphim Passive and it does help with Fire Damage as well, as I have also gone for Fire Snake & Daybreaker with my powers to add some Fire to it (no pun intend), so I also replaced the EU with Thermal Reverberation as I'll be upkeeping the Cling-Flames at all times.
Since I can only have one "Fire Patch" up at a time, I ended up going for Fire Snake over Flashfire (Alought I am pretty sure that the firepatch from Daybreaker is only at my feet, so not sure if that'll be too useful, if so I can replace that Adv and go with Flashfire over Snek)
Went for Expluse as well for another Celestial Power and another Heal (more of a painc heal button and retreat) since I did had to dtich my self-rez (I SHUOLD be okay without one)
Firesnake or Flashfire will cover my AoE, I still have Illumination for a Heal and to upkeep them for Celestial Conduit & Judgment, I toyed around with a 100ft Heal and I ended up just sticking with Rebuke (Psi Healing is nice, but may as well stick with the theme) Unsure, if its wise to keep it with just the Adv, since my main heal IS Cel-Con, but the advs can be swapped aorund if needed.
Other then that the build has not chnaged much

For dps, you can just use charges of Fireball while keeping Firesnake up. Rebuke stays in as a long-ranged heal and nuke (since Fireball can only reach 50ft), while I kept Illum + Conduit for AoE healing (and since it's core to the concept). Expulse can be used in general to give you both a healing rune and a fire patch to work with (and can deal AoE dmg to those around you). Gears mostly for Pres, w/ some End and Con (and some cost discount on gear).
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
At first I did notice that Fireball has quite a hefty energy cost to charge/cast, even with some okay gear, which is why I opted out of getting it before, but after grabbing some much better gear with cost reduction and swapping Passives, it's much easier to manage
Overall I've gone for the build you provided, I did however after testing ended up going for a more Selfless Passive (Aura of Majesty) rather then Hearth or Seraphim, since it is very helpful for both myself and teammates and it's just clearly more powerful Passive.
I was going to go for the Protection one, but the Majesty seems ideal for this build

Thanks agian for the help, I -might- have to review it when the new Arctype comes out, since it does edit a lot of powers, but I am sure this build will be mostly uneffected.
