GW2. WvW Build. Support Druid. Ranger WvW.
Last Update: April 2024
The Support Druid is a WvW Zerg healing ranger build which can give minor stability to allies, enormous amounts of cleanse, and burst healing. It can also make revive plays with the Spirit of Nature to aid allies who are out of position.
Mace 2 and 3 grant Regeneration and Protection. Using all mace skills will refresh them and make you grow gaining more healing bonus. Glyphs grant Protection to allies as well as their normal effects. Use Glyph of Equality to stun break allies if they get caught, or Glyph of Alignment to immobilize enemies when used outside of Celestial Avatar or to cleanse and heal allies when used inside it. Because of the Relic of Dwayna your regeneration should take priority to help charge your Astral Force to allow you to enter Celestial Avatar F5.
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. It can also be combined with the Lunar Impact (3) to create an area condition cleanse combo. Try to use the Quick Draw trigger (when entering Celestial Avatar) on the Lunar Impact (3), so delay using your first Seed of Life (2) until the Lunar Impact has been used.
Frost Spirit gives Resistance, and Spirit of Nature is your revive utility. These will both occur twice at their targeted location, so try to place them where your team can get the most value out of it.
Main Healing Sources: Staff 5 + Staff 3, Celestial Avatar 3/4
Boons: Warhorn 5, Frost Spirit, Mace 3, Glyphs
Cleanse: Celestial Avatar 2, Glyph of Alignment (in CA), Staff 4 (remove immobilize)

After the latest patch i’d take mace instead of sword. Otherwise a great build. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m really curious why you would take Spirit of Nature over Glyph of Stars.
