Powerful Frost Damage and Major Courage, what's not to love?

 

If you like to play as a healer/support but hate the feeling of being unable to dish it out as well, this is the build for you. It's really simple, only one bar to work with, but it has everything you need to flourish in any given situation. I've used a variation on this build to beat Veteran Vateshran Hollows (update 36!) and another to beat Veteran Fang Lair. It only ever needs a few tweaks to bring out its strengths.

 

You might not buff everyone to the ends of the earth, but I always find builds where you only help everyone else play the game so boring. This strikes a nice balance, still providing Major Courage and Minor Toughness, while being able to deal really lovely damage herself.

 

If you're going into a tough trial, or you really like to only play support, you can easily swap the Frostbite set for Powerful Assault. If that's the case, the back bar setup may be more your speed.
