Focused on: Boon support and Strike damage
Designed for: Fractals
Overview
This build provides 100% 
Quickness uptime on a closely stacked group while having strong personal DPS and burst. It pairs well with a Renegade - Boon Support Power DPS (Fractal) providing alacrity. Note that unless your group is consistently phasing bosses in under ~15 seconds then Firebrand - Quickness Support Condi DPS will perform better.
28/06/2022 Patch - Archived as the removal of Perfect Inscriptions removes any reason for this build to exist.

Equipment Variants
The above gear assumes you have 162 Agony Resistance. If you have a different amount you will need to adjust your gear accordingly (the more AR you have, the fewer diviner and assassin pieces you need). Aim for ~42% boon duration and 2365 precision (assuming you will not have or ). As you gain more AR, you can start swapping some 
Assassin stats pieces to 
Berserker stats.
If you're struggling to maintain adequate quickness, you can run additional diviners gear at a very minor personal DPS loss. If you primarily play with disorganized groups it may be worth investing in as much Diviner gear to ensure good quickness uptime.
Eagle Rune Variant
At 162 AR, and deal practically the same damage, so this may be a good option if you are struggling to stay above 90% health. This version also allows you to reuse some gear pieces from a DPS Dragonhunter. As you gain additional AR however, it will start to fall behind .
