The latest nerfs to DPS mean that while firebrand can keep up with other DPS supports, its damage drops like a stone if it has to swap out any utility skills. Still, no-one provides Aegis like a guardian can, and rarely a bad choice.

Screaming gave this build 5 stars • August 2019
After the recent buffs, much like the pure DPS variant, this build is astoundingly strong considering just how essential quickness is for both DPS and quality of life in raids, often able to compete with pure DPS builds themselves. Easily one of the strongest support builds right now, and very simple to play while at it, too.
