Thanks. That actually answered some other questions I had, though I think I wasn't quite clear with what I meant with the one I posted. If the Mimics cast Acid Cloud (as an example), a mana-spender, does it count for triggering the damage boost from the Zuni 6 piece (as if I had cast it)? The info doesn't seem to say that it does or does not, only that they benefit from the damage boost.
I've been playing around with the Grin Reaper in the cube. I can't seem to find anywhere that has an answer. Do the attacks by Mimics (that are spawned from it) count as yours, for the purpose of other gear you have equipped? Eg, the Zunimassa 6 piece bonus.
It seems to help me regardless of whether or not it triggers the Zuni bonus, so it isn't like a "Nope" changes that. I just am curious for the sake of curiosity.
I apologise for the lack of clarity. I'm used to the mechanics of other games, where the healer, etc, don't get so close to everything to minimize aggro on them while the tank and the DPS get up close.
To rephrase my question, and hopefully make it more easily understood... I would like to try to do a support role, but don't really know where to start. The rest of what I had said was basically just me being me (over-explaining and over-complicating things). I'm not used to builds or anything where the purpose isn't to either outright kill, or to tank. Pretty much, what I understand to be support builds are the ones that aren't tanks (in the more MMO style definition), aren't the DPS, and are not worried about how much damage they are doing because they are doing what hax0r77 said.
As the title says, I am needing some ideas and suggestions.
I am wanting to learn how to play a support build character. I don't know where to start. I've always played what I call a front-line character. Tanky builds (like a Thorns Crusader), damage dealers (like a Trag Pets Necro), etc. I know a large part of this learning will involve having to curb my habitual get-to-the-action mentality because of my history with playing that type of character. I feel it is time I should take a step back, let others be at the fore, and support their efforts, instead of leading the charge.
What class would be the best for me to step into this role with, as a beginner in that regard? I would like something that does have the capacity to defend themselves a bit, at least haha (seen some builds that left me wondering how tf they survived when the manure hits the fan).
What should I keep in mind when being at the rear of the pack?

Necro posting, but it would appear that Krelm's Buff Bracers also prevent the stun effect.

Thanks for all the builds. Looking over them all as I type this. Probably going to go with with Monk, because 'new style, new class'. Haha.
