When I play support fid, I go a bit more APcentric, becuase he really doesn't do well with a standard support build. Philo Stone and Sight stone, and then damages.

As for skills, obviously never max drain. If the enemy laner has an easy escape, like ezreal, caitlyn, or tristana, maxing fear will rarely actually get you anywhere, since they just jump away and are only usually out a few hundred health. Maxing crows in this case is usually better, because you can poke them out of lane, or at least out of some cs. If the enemy lane is very aggressive, like a Graves Leona, maxing fear can totally poop on their burst potential. Fid isn't the best support all the time though, so don't think he's a taric or thresh, who basically can work with anyone, against anyone.

I find he has a very good ulti for lane, if you can get the jump on the enemy. If you just try to stand there and ulti, you're gunna have a bad time. I would always take exhaust on supports. It also solves the problem of being squishy, because of the damage reduction.

Don't underestimate the power of your drain. It can make you deceptively tanky during a trade. Fear, silence, then start draining the ad, or whoever the best option is. It's no where near as good as a full AP fids drain, but it's a help.
