For hfb I'd go with staff and mace/shield.

That gives you Aegis on mace 3 and shield 4. After that you have your F3-5 and you can slot "Advance!" if you need more.

The boon was removed from Mantra of Solace a while ago, so that's about all you can do (concerning others, there's traits for more uptime on yourself).

But Aegis isn't meant to be a second Protection or an HP buffer, it's there to negate the occasional telegraphed heavy hits.

So it doesn't need to be up a lot, but when necessary.

 

The class's strength lies in its versatility, you can provide a bunch of different boons with good uptime while having respectable healing. And if you time it right, you can negate the "incoming tactical nuke" - exactly what you want from a support.
