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.
