Overview

A condition DPS build for Firebrand in fractals and raids. This build can inflict massive AoE Burning bursts with Tome of Justice, which resets on killing enemies. This makes it one of the burstiest condition damage builds and very strong if it can consistently reset Tome of Justice.

In addition to DPS, Firebrand's tomes can provide high defensive utility to its subgroup including Aegis, Stability, Resistance, projectile destruction, and emergency healing.

Usage

The basic idea is to maintain permanent Symbol of Punishment (or Symbol of Vengeance) while spamming Burning with Tome of Justice and 24px Flame Rush. When Tome of Justice is not available, axe skills are used to fill the downtime.

General

• Use Renewed Focus to reset Tome of Justice.
• All mantras are instant cast and should be used while performing the rest of the rotation.
  • Use 24px Flame Rush twice immediately, then once every time it gains a charge.
  • If
    is equipped, use 24px Restoring Reprieve every time it gains a charge.
• Zealot's Flame and Zealot's Fire should be used in place of autoattacks when up. You should throw the free Zealot's Fire you get from Radiant Fire as well.
