GW2. Raid Build. Support Druid. Alacrity Druid. Ranger PvE. Group PvE Build.
Role: Support 
The Support Druid is a ranger build with great boon coverage including alacrity, might, fury, swiftness, vigor, protection, and regeneration. It has limited healing windows due to the Celestial Avatar resources but has very high healing during those windows of time and provides great support, utility, and CC.
Cast all spirits in the range of your party to grant them boons such as Protection, Vigor, and Might. Then enter Celestial Avatar and use all your abilities to trigger Grace of the Land which will give Alacrity to your party. Any skill will give the Alacrity in CA, so if you only want to give Alacrity then just use the 1 and 2 skills since they have the least cooldown, but if you need to heal or CC then use the 3/4/5 skills.
Use Warhorn 5, Pet Swap, and use your Pet Abilities when possible for more boons like Fury and Aegis. Otherwise, cast the staff 2 and 1 or combo the 5 and 3 together to gain more of the resources needed to enter Celestial Avatar, where you can provide more impactful support.
Main Healing Sources:
- Staff 5 + Staff 3, Staff 2, Water Spirit, Celestial Avatar 3/4
You can cast the Seed of Life (2) in Celestial Avatar to cleanse conditions on allies. Always use these nonstop while in Celestial Avatar form because they don’t take up any animation and will give Alacrity. It can also be combined with the Lunar Impact (3) to create an area condition cleanse combo. The Rejuvenating Tides creates a water field that you can blast for a healing combo when swapping pets due to the Marksmanship trait Clarion Bond.
Casting Glyph of the Stars while in Celestial Avatar will allow more revive potential.
CC – Crowd Control Skills:
- Celestial Avatar 3, CA 5, Pet Abilities, Warhorn 5, Mace 3, Staff 4, Glyph of Equality (not in CA)
