Support Occultist

[Phylotus]

So, I decided to build an Samsaran Occultist for PFS. I've only played one session, but I really enjoyed how the class played. I am building her to be in a support role, and in that spirit I picked up the Abjuration and Transmutation implements as her first two, picking up Aegis as the first focus power.

The role I'm trying to fit into is stay close to my allies and hit them with buffs (currently Legacy Weapon and Aegis) and inconveniencing enemies (Peacebond and a reach weapon).

My question is: where should I go from here? I can't decide what implement school I should pick up to keep with the support role to hold me over until I get my 4th implement at 6th level. What implement would you recommend?

Divination gets you the ol' Eye of Kilrogg at level 5. While it is blocked by doors, I just had a scenario completely scouted before the party entered.

To some extent, the answer to this depends on how you're building and how you're spending your Mental Focus. If you've got excess focus, you could consider picking up an implement to hand off to someone else for the resonant power. You could charge up a conjuration implement a bit and hand if off to a party member wizard or summoner to pretty good effect, only taking it back when you wanted to use Purge Corruption or something (assuming you take that power at 5th).

Illusion could be another good one for you if you're spending a lot of actions buffing. The spells are pretty handy, Unseen is an awesome pseudo-greater invis for your rogues, and the resonant power will give you a constant protection until you attack.
