Note: This build has now been updated per Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (and it's even better now :) ) See here for details:    • How Tasha's Changes Everything Pt. 2 ...  
In our first ever build optimized for support/healing, we dive into the Lore Bard and wind up with a character that buffs, debuffs, controls, heals, inspires, leads, sings, and dances. This one does it all (except damage, which is totally overrated). Come check out the Lore Bard and be the companion that every team of adventurers wishes would pick them!
