The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind eGuide Training Skills Alliance War Skill Lines

Support

Maximum Rank: Support Rank 10

Maximum Investment: 16 Skill Points

The Support skill line features abilities meant to improve your defensive capabilities in Cyrodiil. Most of the skill line’s Active Abilities can be useful in any situation, but only one of the available Passives grants any benefits outside of PvP.

Support contains several Magicka abilities and one Stamina ability.

Ultimate Ability

Barrier

Barrier conjures damage-absorbing wards for you and nearby allies. It has a fairly high Ultimate cost, but Barrier is a defensive ability.

Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Reviving Barrier

Shielded allies gain Health Recovery.

Replenishing Barrier

Each time a ward dissolves, you restore Ultimate and Magicka.

Active Abilities

Siege Shield

Activating Siege Shield creates a protective bubble around your location, reducing incoming Siege Weapon Damage by 35%. It may not be as versatile as other Support abilities, but it’s very useful during large-scale battles.

Siege weapons often determine the winning side from the losing side, so limiting their effects is always a good strategy.

Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Siege Weapon Shield

Allied siege weapons in the bubble take reduced damage from other siege weapons.

Propelling Shield

Costs less, and allies in the shield gain increased range.

Purge

Purge allows you to cleanse yourself and your group, removing two negative effects and reducing the duration of any further negative effects by 50% for a short time.

It’s a fairly expensive ability, but Purge has a large radius and a very useful effect.

Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Efficient Purge

Reduces the casting cost.

Cleanse

If a negative effect is removed, the target is healed.

Guard

Guard allows you to create a life bond between yourself and an allied player. While bonded, 30% of the damage your ally takes is instead delivered to you.

Guard is an instant-cast Stamina ability that remains active until you recast the spell or move more than 15 meters away from your ally. It’s an easy way for heartier characters to support fragile allies, and the available morphs feature some particularly useful buffs.

Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Mystic Guard

You and your bonded ally also gain Minor Vitality, increasing your healing received by 8%.

Stalwart Guard

You and your bonded ally also gain Minor Force, increasing your Critical Strike Damage.

Revealing Flare

Revealing Flare allows you to reveal stealthed and invisible enemies within a target area. Those exposed have their movement speed reduced by 50% and cannot return to stealth or invisibility for three seconds.

The ability has a fairly wide radius and an impressive range. It also boasts a low Magicka cost, making it possible to search large areas for hidden enemies.

Available Morphs
Icon Name New Effect

Lingering Flare

The flare lingers at the target area, revealing enemies that enter it.

Scorching Flare

Exposed enemies take damage over time.

Passive Abilities

The Support skill line contains three Passive Abilities, each of which offers two ranks.

Support Passives are all useful in Cyrodiil, but only Magicka Aid offers a potential benefit outside of PvP.

Passive Abilities

Name Effect
Magicka Aid Increases your Magicka Recovery by up to 10% for each Support ability slotted.
Combat Medic Increases your healing done by 10% when you’re near a keep.
Battle Resurrection Reduces the time it takes to resurrect another player by 15% while you’re in a PvP area.
