Ranger vs revenant
Nothing is good about revenant (definitely not biased opinion coming from a ranger main)…
Now talking about support in this game. Guild wars is a bit different than most MMOs as healing is not the primary defensive support. You can get around without much healing and still be very effective in the game. This is also true for druid. The main function of a druid is to provide offensive support through buffs and defensive support through boons like vigor and protection. You can do this while still providing decent damage output. Even when using a healing power set, your main function is to provide buffs while the healing output should come as a byproduct of that. This mindset is what made me like druid specialisation in the end.
If you still don’t like druid, you are not forced to take it. Base condi ranger is one of the highest dps specs in the game right now. This makes ranger the most versatile class right now, at least as far as pve is concerned.

As you was mentioned you don’t need to be support if you’re druid, it just gives you support options. Are you doing open world stuff only? Or?
You can take things like natural stride which give you a near permanent 33% speed boost, rather than team support traits. Or the main benefit for solo play is that the “support” on druid actually supports yourself. So if you get hurt, pop the celestial avatar and use it as a second heal 6 skill.
You can check the qt website for updated meta builds and some game play.
Alternatively you can check
As for gearing, I’d recommend sticking to berserker gear while you level up. Condi gear is not so accessible at early game. Aim for the S/A Lb spotter build (in metabattle) at first and once you go into the HoT areas you can start working on the condi gear.
