Summary
Its a decent team support build I've been running while roaming with a 5 man party, Its not as effective in groups below 3 players, you'd be more effective as pure damage at that point.
-You're the support, dont worry about damage output, make sure you give your group quickness/stability/regen and clear condis when they need it.
- You're the designated resser if someone goes down! You can use Feel my Wrath to ress quicker, and with II in Honor you have a good knockback while ressing!
- Use Line of Warding and Ring of Warding, to control the battlefield!
- Remember that your dodges heal you and your allies, so random dodges can sometimes be good to help your team even if you dont necessarily dodge an attack!
