Firebrand - Quickness Support Celestial DPS

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, 99% Regeneration, 35% Protection, ~19 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.

Equipment Variants

Sigils

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Transference over Sigil of Superior Sigil of Bursting for better healing, but less dps.

Infusions

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

Consumables

Food

• to hit 100% burning duration.

Utility

• for concentration (recommended).
• for more healing.
• for ~1k more dps.

Usage

The basic idea is to maintain high uptime of Symbol of Punishment and Symbol of Vengeance 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 avaiable.
• Use Mantra of Solace once immediately, then once every time it gains a charge.
• 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 also heal for ~950 because of Selfless Daring, so don't forget to use it, if needed. You Also mentain 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.
