The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great

Focused on: Healing, Boon support and Condition damage

Designed for: Fractals

Difficulty:

TBD

Overview

This build is a perfect mix between a healer and a DPS, which shines in less organized groups that normally run a full healer. Even though it's a condition build, the burst of a Firebrand is really solid and by no means bad in fractals.

Thanks to Writ of Persistence and Mantra of Lore this build heals up to five players for ~400/sec while still being able to hit for ~20k DPS on the golem.

It provides 100% Quickness, 100% Fury, 100% Regeneration, 35% Protection, 17-20 Might, a lot of Aegis with Mantra of Solace and a lot of condi cleanse because of Mantra of Lore.

This build should be played with a Build:Renegade - Boon Support Power DPS (Fractal) providing Alacrity and extra Might.

Utility

Weapon Variants

Staff can be taken instead of scepter to provide an additional burst healing option, though you will lose ~2 Might as swapping to staff only for Empower would be a significant DPS loss.

Skill Variants

Utility skills

Swap out Purging Flames, or Mantra of Lore if you don't need the Regeneration.

Sanctuary if more CC is needed.
Hallowed Ground if the stability of Tome of Courage is not enough.
Wall of Reflection if the reflect of Tome of Courage is not enough.
Bow of Truth for more healing.
Signet of Wrath over Mantra of Lore for a ~1k DPS increase.

Specializations

Specialization Variants

If you have two or more DPS classes in your subgroup and you don't need Mantra of Lore, you can take Perfect Inscriptions and either Signet of Wrath or Bane Signet (depending on whether they are condi or power DPS) to buff your subgroup.
If you have sufficient AR to reach 70% boon duration, you can take Legendary Lore instead of Weighty Terms for higher DPS.
If you have classes in your group that provide enough Might, you could take one of the following instead of Empowering Might, but you will generate 9-12 less Might for your group:
- Honorable Staff will give you 8% more boon duration, and another 8% if you're using staff.
- Pure of Heart will result in more healing.

Equipment Variants

Sigils

For an ~800 DPS loss, you can replace Sigil of Superior Sigil of Torment:

Sigil of Superior Sigil of Transference for better healing.
Sigil of Superior Sigil of Concentration for better boon uptimes, or to give yourself sufficient boon duration to run Legendary Lore - the DPS difference is small, but gaining access to extra Regeneration and Protection can be valuable.

Infusions

You can also use healing infusions, if you prefer that.

Low toughness variant

This build can also work in raids, but it has 381 extra toughness, which can interfere with tanking. The variant below has only 80 extra toughness. If that is still too high, the celestial stats pieces can be swapped to seraph stats or viper stats.

Consumables

Food

to hit 100% burning duration.

Utility

for DPS.
for boon duration.
for healing.

Usage

The basic idea is to maintain high uptime of symbols while spamming Burning with Tome of Justice. When Tome of Justice is not available, axe skills are used to fill the downtime. See Build:Firebrand_-_Condi_DPS for a detailed explanation of the DPS rotation.

Notes

Use "Feel My Wrath!" immediately, then as soon as it is available.
Use Mantra of Solace once immediately, then once every time it gains a charge. Also be sure to use it to block dangerous attacks for your group.
Use Mantra of Lore and Mantra of Potence twice immediately, then once every time it gains a charge.
Never interrupt your axe autoattack chain.
Your dodges heal for ~1k because of Selfless Daring, so don't forget to use it if needed. You also maintain 70% Vigor on yourself thanks to Vigorous Precision.
Use Tome of Courage if reflection, Stability or Resistance is needed. It can also be used to spam Swiftness.
Use Tome of Resolve if burst healing or even more condition cleanses are needed.
