With the new Skorri artifact this week, I began scheming up a new support type class for Sunsinger. They're not JUST for self-res anymore!
The build is this:
[u]Weapons and Armor[/u]
-Bad Juju: quickly generates super.
or
-Tlaloc: more DPS, less super gen. Use this if you want to be more of a combat support than a pure support.
-Skorri artifact: allows your friends can get their supers quickly too!
Two different options for exotic armor:
-Sunbreakers: extra grenade for when you DO activate your super, or just want to chuck grenades at things...
-Light Beyond Nemesis: grants you more flexibility as a support by allowing quicker revives.
The rest of your armor and weapons can just be fill at this point, I suggest something to increase melee recharge in order to generate orbs which will be covered in the next section.
[u]Abilities[/u]
-Song of Flame: the bread and butter of this! Your friends first use their supers, then you use yours! They regen supers quicker and then you pick up orbs from friends which recharges YOUR super which continues to recharge their super (a la Skorri).
-Flameshield/Solar Wind: this is really up to you. Either shield to not die, or wind to get melee back quicker to generate orbs.
-Sunburst: Melee kills generate orbs of light. SCORE!
The last ability depends on your exotic armor.
-Touch of Flames (if you're using Sunbreakers)
or
-Gift of the Sun (if you opt to use Light Beyond Nemesis.
I'll have to test this to see its overall efficiency when I get home! If you have other ideas or suggestions, let me know! I feel this will give Sunsinger a whole new role other than "clutch res" in PvE AND PvP.

I've been using a non-res build ever since I got the hang of the class, and it's personally just more fun to play. I usually use HotPF with Radiant Will, Gift of the Sun, and Song of Flame, high discipline and intellect, and guns that have perks like Army of One (or Thrive by the Sword for heavy) for maximum grenades and radiance. I try to use Radiance as often as I can so my teammates get as many orbs and grenades as possible. I'll be running Memory of Skorri so they have even better super regeneration while we're in between fighting enemies. I like doing things such as this more because I never have to worry about when using self-res is a good idea, and I generally just never plan for failure.

Apparently memory of skorri stacks I'd two people have skorri and super the erson will have a buff which skorri ×2

I've been working on one for Voidwalker Obsidian Mind High int/dis Grenade/melee kill generate super energy Energy drain Skorri artifact

How about starfire protocol so you have double fusion grenades. Run radiant skin, Viking funeral, touch of flame. Pop your super and spam fusions in between ghally or rocket shots for major boss dps. Your teammates also get a 15% damage buff while burn is active.

Tlaloc for increased dps

They were never for self res only but I really like how you are promoting new builds. Awesome post man and you should post a clip. I would love to watch =)
