Hand Gun: Hive Cannon / Pride of the Iskal.

Ring: Spirit Stone (more Storm Caller damage to keep mods up) or keep Volatile Gem.

Ring: Gift of the Iskal (to help keep mods up between fights).

Armor: Elder body, Labyrinth Set for other pieces (increase Storm Caller damage).

Weapon Mod 2: Storm Caller (crowd killer).

Long Gun: Beam Rifle (more sustained fire).

You still focus on healing and buffing, but now drop Song of Swords right before you use Storm Caller to overall focus more on crowd control. This is more focused on keeping mods available as that's a little bit tougher with just random enemies Ideal with a tank pulling agro effectively. Outside of boss areas, or if the team is just grinding re-rolls, this build variant can be used instead. If you can't keep up with your carry well enough, use Heart of the Wolf. If your carry is not struggling to survive with your heals, you can use Ruin instead - you will primarily use the SMG then, and will have Song of the Swords ready more.

Ring: Volatile Gem (more crowd control).

Amulet: Mender's Charm (to heal others).

Armor: Elder set (more damage boost, more dragon hearts).

Weapon Mod 2: Howler's Immunity (damage reduction).

Weapon Mod 1: Song of Swords (damage boost).Melee Weapon: Voice of the Tempest (crowd control on charge).Hand Gun: Submachine Gun (clear those additional enemies).Long Gun: Hunting Rifle (stagger to help carry clear enemies).You will always be checking health bars to pop Dragon Hearts for your allies, so they can focus damage (also helpful if your friend is gearing a build, they can save some Simulacrums for upgrades). If able, you can charge them off of melee and if things get real dicey you make use of the Voice of the Tempest's charge attack to help deal with large groups of minor enemies. Knowing a boss phase where they're active and targetable for a good little while, or just any elite enemy, you can pop your Song of Swords and Howler's Immunity mods and a Dragon Heart, immediately handing out a massive damage boost and damage reduction, and providing a heal.You will rotate your weapons while dealing with additional enemies, or just helping to damage the boss, just focusing on getting your mods ready hopefully by the time they're down. This build is very much geared towards having a carry like a Crit Build that may have difficulty in dealing with large groups or would just do better with focusing on raw damage rather than concerning themselves with healing it is very much a co-op build. A Co-Op build to sustain and boost a carry boss-killer friend
