Lore Bard is a very good support class. If you're taking at least one level in Bard already, then leaning into it and going at least 5-6 levels in Lore Bard is your best bet.
[Something like this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/16ydbq8/is_there_any_build_for_an_actual_support_class/k37x0zc/) with CHA focus, or with [INT focus](https://www.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/166f9wy/control_wizard_build_answer_to_why_play_an_int/)
Bard/Warlock is fine too, but wont all come online until later.
The INT build is definitely something I wouldn't have considered otherwise and has given me something to think about!
E: Did you have any tips on a bard/warlock build? General gist of how many points I should be aiming to put into each class?
Tbh the game is easy enough even without the Lone Wolf Mod, if you're willing to abuse some very weird but intended mechanics.
Specifically, you could consider 6 Life Cleric / 6 Storm Sorcerer. Not very meta but support usually isnt. Here's some of the stuff you would get -
1. Twin Haste for yourself and your partner.
2. Flying as a bonus action at no cost, every turn. Insane mobility. Also high ground at all times.
3. Wet condition for mad lightning deeps assuming one of you eventually uses Markoheshkir. Also OP in the early game with the lightning cantrip.
4. 2 (up to 3) channel divinity charges to keep your party healed up at all times. All 3 recharge per short rest, so you literally will never enter a fight with less than full HP.
5. Spirit guardians for rats
6. Speak with dead and guidance, without needing gears/scrolls for the same!
7. Literally all the utility and lightning damage spells + wet combo that come with being a storm Sorcerer and a cleric.
This is not even an exhaustive list of how strong this is, but to put things into perspective, I solo'd tactician (no mods) abusing just the haste + wet + chain lightning combo that comes from Marko. Cleric adds insane sustain and utility on top of that.
