My experience in the game mostly feels like any turn that a character isn't dealing damage is a wasted action.
Sure there's a few exceptions, like putting haste on Karlach is insanely powerful. But I'm struggling to figure out how to use most support actions or classes effectively
Use more save or sucks. Stunning an enemy character(or - bless - several) is also super valuable, it puts the fight to a 3v4 right away. On the bard’s spell list alone, Sleep is incredibly valuable, you’ve got Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, Blindness, Hold Person, Silence, Fear, Confusion, I could go on.
This strategy is only okay until you reach act 3, and then it gets crazy powerful with all the items that bump your spell save DC up.
