A very powerful condition-based support build for open world which offers one of the only Jack-of-All-Trades playstyles in the game. This build provides permanently 
Quickness, 
Might, and 
Fury to itself and allies while also providing very high uptime on 
Regeneration, 
Stability, 
Aegis, 
Protection, and
