(Two possible designs, first mega inspired by the orderlies from Pathologic and second inspired heavily by the Plague Doctor from Darkest Dungeon).
Hero Description:
Panacea is a mixed range support that that specialises in AOE, debuffs, and cleansing allies.

Character Notes...
This character's playstyles is either a spirit support that plays around all cooldowns to support allies from a distance while never being touched in your team's backline.
The second playstyle is a more meme-y frontline dps, using your gun and building movement items to counter his slow movement and force bad 1v1s in his Plague Grenades and support himself with The Cure with some potential for melees.
Here are some potential build ideas/brainstorms:
Thanks for reading, excited and eager to any and all feedback.
