Guide
Pure support PnS WK for trios. Goal is to soak damage with shield up, make enemies waste dodges, proc wither to get smiting affix bonus and knockdown enemy with javelin kick combo to get reduced cooldown.
Your positioning is in front of the team but always be in range to intervene your backline. Use your skills for utility rather than damage. Your kill pressure is in preventing heals and wasting enemy dodges.
