It is inferred by the fact that there are not, currently, any class/subclass combination that is purely support. A Warlord that is purely support would be the first such class and unique among the dozens of subclasses that we already have. Including the ones that are supposed to supply Warlord functionality.Anyone can use the help action. There is nothing special about the Life Cleric that makes this any better that I can see. A Battlemaster Fighter could do Help actions for example.Even if a Bard (or any other caster for that matter) uses every spell for nothing but support he is going to run out of spells before the end of the average adventuring day. At least until very high levels. And then he would eventually be reduced to casing 1st level spells in a CR 15 encounter.And now we are talking about an 18th level Wizard. Somehow I doubt people would be happy to hear that their Warlord concept could be realized at level 18. And even then it debuffs the enemy instead of buffing the other characters.Yes, he could attack. But he doesn't have to. He could sacrifice all of his attacks every turn and do nothing but support. Something that no other class can reasonably do.</blockquote>
