Guild Wars 2

for a long time i thought that any class can go full zerkers, full tanky, full condy…(even guardians), and the biggest differences between professions is their core class mechanic+utility+ way of supporting other players/npcs around them

Ive played a ele , guardian, mezmer ,warrior for a loong time (in that order)

and i thought every profession has their unique ways of supporting, and i thought warriors support was mostly offensive. Granting others might, fury, condi clenses and +stats with banners.

but then i noticed he can also grant a large area of permanent regeneration via banners.
a lot of condi clenses via shouts as well as healing to himself and 4 more players/npcs around the warrior that can be almost compared with some “minor” healing skill 6 .

So now i made a ranger. ive seen other people playing them in my dungeons, fought with and against them in pvp, but i havent seen a lot of what they can do in pve.

So besides the dungeon “meta spotter and spirit” support, what other ways can a ranger support others around them?

Quite a few ways, but most of them not as well as other classes can.

1. Spirits give protection, burns, swiftness, healing
2. Natures Voice w/ Guard for perma regen+swiftness
3. Pets can give almost any boon, fields, condi cleanse, cc, heals,

Frost Spotter is the only unique support, which is why it is meta.

im not trying to find something for dungeons, but rather for some pve events.

some small-medium sized events with npcs to protect and heal

Spirit build with natures voice then. Something along these lines:

Protection and bonus damage from spirits

Swiftness and regen from natures voice

regen from elite

precision from spotter

group heal from warhorn on healing spring

yeah that 15 seconds shout that spams regen and swiftness does seem the kind of stuff i was looking for. tyvm for the insight
