Overview

Equipment Notes
- If you are running with a Support Chronomancer, you can afford to run the same gear and food as Build:Firebrand_-_Condi_DPS. Only do this if you are certain of maintaining 100% Quickness.
- If you are tanking, replace Viper with Trailblazer gear until you have as much toughness as needed.
Equipment Variants
If you want to run higher boon duration than the above setup without changing your food or utility, you could swap some Sinister pieces to Seraph, or Viper pieces to Celestial. Both these swaps will also slightly increase your healing power, though the extra healing is unlikely to be noticeable.
As the recommended boon duration will vary from group to group and encounter to encounter, consider the following guidelines in respect to maximising DPS:
- If you're swapping in boon duration gear, and can take extra toughness, the most efficient swap you can make is using (or ascended versions).
- You can swap Sinister to Seraph to get up to ~29% boon duration.
- You could use Plaguedoctor instead of Seraph for this swap. It is a minor DPS loss for a small gain in survivability.
- You can swap Viper to Celestial to get up to ~34% boon duration.
- Note that you will gain extra toughness from Celestial stats, so be careful not to become the tank. Alternatively, this could be used to tank without sacrificing damage.
