best shaman archetype to help my friend? (2.0)

I want to be a supporting archetype playing as a shaman to help my friend who wants to be an acrobat.
Which shaman archetype would be best in our new account?

 

Acolyte gets large heals when paired with double/triple totem, so if you go for healing you should rush double totem, sacrificial shrine and rebound. Acolyte also has a 20% damage boost so thats nice, but if you stop paying attention to your screen you could die quickly

 

Acolyte is the best in terms of support due to totem damage boost and Blood Aura healing, you'll definitely want to get Double Totem. Ritualist can be used as a niche support option, but isn't recommended, since that really only takes place when you switch to Mask of Fanatic due to one of the hymns giving a defense boost to allies for a short period. The only real support that Summoner has is Triple Totem passive healing, but you're better going with Acolyte's Aura heal instead

 

Acolyte is probably your go-to then.

However I do play a summonner x acolyte hybrid, I like having puppets and double totem (I play solo tho)

In my opinion ritualist is the best but it is quite difficult to use, the mask system makes in incredibly versatile and fun to play with
