Best bunker of the expansion, most healing/cleansing/boon sharing/anti-CC of all builds. EDIT: just to reaffirm. Even after getting nerfed several times and losing its pocket Scourge, FB remains extremely important in any teamfight comp.

Still, by far, the best FB spec for support. More easily used if queued with a partner/team.

An enjoyable build that harkens to the true guardian playstyle. Something worth playing but you should be careful of oversupport situations in the event you see too many supports on your team.

This build seems to be great. Ultra support and fun in a team but often pretty frustrating if solo playing. Personally I'm playing it with sword instead of mace.

I've been playing the sword variant of this build, with only a mantra replacing the two non-mantras and using Signet of Judgement for the reduction of damage, and it's been a charm to play with. I have yet to fully test it in unranked PvP (preparing for the next session) but from what I saw, it is a good mix of a lot of support (I almost always get top heals and top revives), but also allowing for some fast attacks to deal with things like thieves or revenants using daggers. Overall, if you are totally aware of your surroundings, you should be able to play any variants of this mantra bunker build and easily equal battles in 1v1 or 2v1 (you being alone). It is not meant to +1 in fights but can still do some damage to help, and with the last tome, it also pumps out some decent boons to help win difficult fights. So, basically, heals to bunker, boons to help fight and burn to do some pressure, while having sword to give some quick damage and scare off the opponent while having staff to be annoying. Again, this is a great build, and I strongly suggest you taking variants of it (switching minor traits around to boost your productivity) to be able to get the full of Firebrand.

If you want to play full support, this is the way to go! (Even after remove of Magi amulet) It's a very strong team support. Heal, blocks, condi remove, stability, bubbles...it has everything you can ask for. I dunno how any1 can rate this build down cuz it needs to be anticipated by your teammates (sic!). that's like rating down a headset on amazon, cuz delivery took too long. In my opinion some people try to bully it out of meta..?

Despite the removal of Magi Amulet, the build is still very powerful. True, that to shine, this build requires a team with awareness, but so does every class. I would disagree that this build is easily bullied. Yes, it's usually the 1st or 2nd to be targeted, but paired up with a blood scourge or other support, and it becomes very hard to kill. True, that this is not the build for solo/+1. However, this is still the best support/healing build in current spvp, which can dish out over 1 million healing in a single match.

Extremely powerful build in the current meta. Easy access to stability, from your elite as well as sources from the 3rd tome. Ridiculous amount of condi cleanse from the 2nd tome and resistance from the 3rd. Huge amount of heals and boons everywhere. It's insane. This build, however, is a defensive healer, and that's it. It cannot take down targets, and relies on a decent team to excel. It does not feature the offensive side or the mobility of a druid.

The problem of this build is that it's a support build. You need semi competent allies understanding your class mechanics and limitations to make it work, which is honestly not a given. It's good against most condi builds, except scourge, because scourge can hide damage conditions under loads of trash, and since the cleanse nerfs, you can't counter that anymore. Against power builds, well, start praying as soon as your F3 tome goes on CD because you're dead. This build is really good to +1 and quickly end a fight and help your teammates rotate faster. It's not made to hold a node, you want your team with you otherwise it's useless.

This build itself is very solid, but like any other support build, if your team is bad, you're not going to be able to carry your way to victory. I REALLY like playing this build, but there are too many times where you will get paired up with an inferior team and you will just have to watch your team lose. The only thing I don't like is that the tomes can be interrupted and if you happen to double click through one it'll go on full CD. This is devastating. The fire tome is useful only when you are in a 2v1 and just need extra CC or a few fire stacks to finish off someone under 10%. Other than that you will not be winning any 1v1's. Again, build is solid af, but requires a team worth supporting, and that's not always possible.

This is amazing you can get 700k healing in a match this is a great build but don’t choose this build if you’re trying out firebrand out for the first time to make this simple you need to first learn how to play firebrand so go play a burn firebrand first then when getting into gold and you know how firebrand works take this build for a try just so you know you may be dining A ton of healing but you do almost no damage and all ways fight on the point

The ratings below this one are interesting, because I haven't faced issues surviving against conditions, that is if you're performing well. Insane amount of heals and support, if you find conditions piling up or predict they will... just spam ToC 4. If you happen to be ToR? ToR 2 and 5 work well. Need a quick condi cleansing? Mantra of Lore is there. Out of condi clears? Heal yourself to mitigate the condi damage. A well played Firebrand will take ages to kill, and is able to yield amazing support.

I dont feel its strong enough. My old post got deleted which was a better post about firebrand and it talked about needing a larger radius on mantras before the update gave them. On the topic of condis which was in my old post... Theres a few problems with it in general and if you want to hold mid then you rely on the other allies 100% to get other points. condis can spike pretty hard during toc4s downtimes sometimes forcing me out of courage.. It does well in many games however I've been forced out of courage by condi alone causing me to goto healing tome and die in healing tome. Theres been plenty of games I wouldnt be killed and plenty of games I couldnt survive whether it be more than one scourge or a mix of condi and spike or spike alone.

It requires alot of good team cordination, and its odd at start when you try it since you don't really have any dmg other than your flame burst of first tome. Still an awesome support healer/bunker build and after you get the hang of it its insanely powerful. I have now 50 games with this build and a solid 70% winrate. Best build for guardian if you have solid dps's in the current meta. Make sure that your lineup fits this build at start of game, if not then swap out!

Powerful Support Build I’ve yet to be beaten for most healing on my team.

Definetly a very solid build that can soak up damage for itself and allies. I run a similar build to this, with Valor instead of Virtues, for altruistic healing. I find that it has great synergy with the build. Save Yourselves is definetly also a very viable option for utility. No other build seem to offer as much healing and cleasing mechanism as this one.
