Relic

Relics

• Relic of the Herald - higher uptime on important boons.

• Relic of Isgarren - potentially higher uptime of 10% extra damage than what Fireworks provides, but you have less control over it (if you're chasing a target or you don't want to stop doing damage then it becomes harder to proc).

Consumables

Food

• - food equivalent of Celestial, boosts all stats and reduces strike damage taken. All around great option for a build that needs a bit of tankiness while constantly pumping out damage.

• - same stats as the other food but reduces the duration of incoming conditions instead of reducing strike damage taken.

• - more endurance regen translates to more dodges in combat.

Utility

• or .

Usage

General

• Most of the damage on the build comes from camping Flame Jet.
  • Juggernaut and Mass Momentum passively stack Might and Stability while in Flamethrower kit.

• Toss Elixir H counts as a healing skill and therefore applies superspeed. Another elixir toolbelt with a similar effect is Toss Elixir U. These are great at both sticking to targets and escaping from them.

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Celerity applies Quickness on a 20s ICD, which lines up with the CD of Thunderclap perfectly.

• There's not a whole lot of cleansing in the build, most of it comes from swapping in and out of Flamethrower to proc Sigil of Cleansing every ~9 seconds.

• Hammer mostly fills a defensive role although it has good damage. Use it to block, evade, and reflects attacks.

• Relic of Fireworks activates on Thunderclap and Function Gyro.

• Elixirs remove conditions.
