GW2. Raid Build. Support Druid. Ranger PvE 2022.
Last Update: Feb 27
Overview
The Spirit Druid is a Support ranger build with great boon coverage including might, fury, swiftness, vigor, protection, and regeneration. It has limited healing due to the Celestial Avatar resources, but still provides great support, CC, and the Spotter trait buff as well as Spirit Buffs.
Playstyle
Role: Support 
Cast all spirits in range of your party to grant them buffs and always recast the spirits when repositioning. Keep the spirits alive with heals even when your team does not need heals because Grace of the Land will still give might when you overheal. Prefer to use Rejuvinating Tides and Natural Convergence to stack might because they pulse, but use Lunar Impact for burst healing and CC. Also throw Healing Seeds in between your animations in Celestial Avatar. Use Warhorn 5 and Pet Swap when possible for more boons, and combine Staff 3 with the water field of Staff 5 for extra healing outside of Celestial Avatar.
