I've always enjoyed playing support classes. I've been playing mostly Path of Exile for the last little while and have really enjoyed the support classes I've made in that game (mass auras, quadcurse) especially since they introduced the guardian ascendancy.
Is there room in Grim Dawn for a "pure" support build? AKA a build that can't solo any content, has essentially zero damage output but provides immense support to allies. I havn't played GD since the level cap was 35 and am looking to get back in to it.
I was thinking a build like this:

I would just spam curse of frailty and war cry on cooldown while building myself super tanky to always be in the middle of the fight drawing aggro.
The buffs come from field command/squad tactics and the summon familiar's Mend Flesh and Storm Spirit alongside additional healing from Blood of Dreeg. Putting lots of points into the soldier tanky skills would make me nearly unkillable, I would think at least.
On top of this I would run as many of the auras (coldstone, wrathstone, hell's bane ammo etc.) as I possibly can.
Finally, I would wear gear like "of kings" suffix which provides bonus damage and speed to allies and equip other gear which provides additional auras/allied bonuses.
I was also looking at the Shaman class which provides Mogredon's Pact and the Briarthorns' emboldening roar, would shaman class potentially provide a better alternative to the occultist?
Also, I have never seen or used the devotion system, would anybody have any devotions to recommend that fit the theme of a support build?
Thanks!
Room in this game for a "support build"
