Support builds exist just fine in GW2. Easy to find with just a quick Google search.
If you watched the video , you would have seen builds that aren't only focused on spamming AOE and basic heals while doing their main role damage dealer, but complex support builds with multiple steps and buffs needed to make them stronger while being focused mainly on healing and not damage dealing.
Tell me you have no idea how to read a build without telling me you don't know how to read a build.
Gear? Minstrel. Its damage? Practically nothing. Its stats focus on toughness, vitality, boon duration, and lastly healing power.
Primary role for that build? Cleanses & heal.
Secondary role? Boons. (Which is why you use the warhorn).
Granted, it is dated which is why the axe was equipped. Instead, you use the Mace that heals and grants a perk that when procs improves healing further. Warhorn still viable for its boons.
Yes. Its skills does damage, but because you are not spec'd for it, it is practically nothing. Instead, the spec improves the healing and cleanses it offers.
In fact, druid has an entire treeline spec'd for support exclusively and is not the only class that offers that. And in all of them, you can still do damage but it is so small there is a well known term for it. Wet noodle.
Resistance/Resolution/Regen are the boons, and they're mostly from Frost Spirit.
Swing and a miss. Spec: Nature Magic, Trait: Windborne Notes, Description: Grant nearby allies regeneration when you use a warhorn skill. Heal allies when you grant them regeneration. This trait affects both of its warhorn skills.
But yeah, those boons are totally what makes WH the pick, from the guy who admittedly plays WvW for his Gift of Battle lol.
Yes..... regen and healing bonus proc from regen is desirable. Which is why warhorn is recommended because of that trait. While your powerful staff skills have about a 20sec CD, you swap to your mace/warhorn to keep up your healing. Including additional procs you may have with your equipped sigils like Sigil of Renewal that heal nearby allies on weapon swap.
And you're wrong on that attempt of a dig. I play WvW regularly with a WvW guild that is part of a WvW alliance guild as I have mentioned many times prior. Sometimes our guild hosts training days for other guilds. As for Gift of Battles, I think I am good on those possessing about 100 of those.
So, another miss I would say.
That's astoundingly awful.
Next time you wish to make a point, link one of the old GvG fights from around the launch of Prophecies. Even the IWAY teams of old are far more interesting than... healing a target dummy.
DPS does 30k DPS
It's quite a difference. Healers are important in GW2. They allow DPS to standing in place and focus on their rotations.
Just stop.
Or show me evidence, because words are cheap.
My evidence are over 5 minutes and are in this topic.
Also , next time watch my video before you promote a bunch of damage dealers with extremely basic heals and buffs spamming.
Also , good thing I know how a druid works, because anyone from out side won't know from that video of people just playing RvR with any content what is happening.

You really show how little you know. And this vid even breaks it down how to play a support druid.
Just stop.
It's still a damage dealer with side healing .
Watch my video and see how a healer looks.
That makes zero sense. Just because it can do damage doesn't mean it is made for DPS. Do you not understand the basics of builds? No, I think you know you are wrong and are just doubling down for whatever weird reason.
Just Stop.
If while do damage you heal on the side that is called side healing. The druid may have healing skills and by the extremely low standards of Garbage Waste 2 may be a support, but in reality its a damage dealer, because it's it focus. The healing is basic and simplistic to be considered a healer, and not damage dealer with support abilities.
The build you shown is literally spam regeneration and then activate nature's strength and celestial form to boost the regeneration, and the spam skills with no thought.
What is this a wow shaman from Burning Crusade ?
Look at just one of my builds and be shocked.
To anyone unfortunate enough to find the thread, worry not. Support builds exist. Build sites like GuildJen, Metabattle, Snowcrows, & Hardstuck offer great support builds. You can safely ignore OP here as he has clearly proven he has no idea what he is talking about.
In fact, support is highly sought after for group content. Not only that, but may also be more rewarding than DPS because of the fact that giving someone heals and boons allows contributions to kills that person has done. You can clearly see that multiplied in larger groups.
