Condition Firebrand overwhelms its enemies in while offering high utility to self and allies such as , projectile reflection, and some healing.
Despite being a condition build, it offers significant burst damage since most of it comes from burning, which is the highest damaging condition at the expense of lower duration. Most of its damage is AOE, giving it great cleave.
Its primary weakness is its lack of mobility and low might generation.
Additionally, with a few changes, the build can sacrifice some of its damage to provide itself and nearby allies with permanent .

Usage of Pistols requires Expanded Weapon Proficiency from Secrets of the Obscure. If you lack access to pistols, use Sword + Focus.
烈焰咒语 and 净化火焰 are great sourcess of damage, but not essential. 
"坚守阵地！" is a good stunbreak. Other alternatives can be considered:
潜能咒语 - to provide 
急速 for the support variant.
愤怒纹章 - passive damage, can replace "Stand Your Ground!"
"冲着我来！" alternative to "Stand Your Ground!" that provides more offensive boons, but can be risky in groups if it pulls too many conditions.
学识咒语 for more condition cleanse.
真相咒语 for 
目盲 on demand.
智慧之锤 or 
怨毒纹章 for more crowd control.
复仇之盾 or 
反射之墙 if projectiles are a problem.
正义之剑 for burst damage.Variants
强壮右臂 if someone is already providing you with fury.
传奇学识 is basically even in performance with 
沉言重词 for DPS Condi Firebrand when solo, so use whichever trait you prefer.Honor offers higher might generation for yourself and nearby allies, longer boon duration from symbols, and higher defensive utility thanks to endurance regeneration and the small amount of sustain. Replaces Virtues at a significant DPS loss, but pairs very well with Celestial.
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.
Ascended gear is not required. You can use exotic gear with the same stats instead.
This variant uses equipment similar to existing Condi DPS Firebrand raid builds, making it an easy gearing option for general PVE.
If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Viper's Abomination" weapons. Viper exotic armor is very expensive, so we recommend a budget alternative called Carrion (search the trading post for "Brutus" and "Sheena" armor) until you can get Viper gear such as by farming Bladed armor or by acquiring ascended armor. Upgrade to Viper and ascended as you progress. See also: Guide to Gear a Character.
Generating high amounts of requires Ritualist or Celestial gear and usage of the trait changing the heal skill to .
The firebrand profession mechanic is their three Tomes, which replace their F1-F3 skills. When activated, Tomes replace your skillbar with new skills. Each Tome is dedicated to a different specialty.
Using a tome skill consumes 1 Page, except Epilogue: Eternal Oasis and Epilogue: Unbroken Lines which consume 2 pages.
Below are some useful skills for each Tome:
For exotic Ritualist weapons search the trading post for "Luxon Hunter's Weapon Cache". For armor, there is no cheap alternative, search for "Ritualist's Ancient Kraken ". Upgrade to ascended as you progress.
潜能咒语 and 
"怒气冲天！" off-cooldown.
解放之誓 and the heal skill 
慰藉咒语. Do not spam this mantra. Use a charge each time you refill to 3 charges. If you have 
敏捷 from a nearby ally, the cooldown of the mantra will line-up perfectly with the cooldown of the trait (alacrity doesn't affect trait cooldowns, though it does affect skills from traits).The key to firebrand is weaving the Tome skills with your weapon skills.
You will spend most of your Pages on the 
正义圣书 using its high damage Chapter 2: Igniting Burst, Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath, and Epilogue: Ashes of the Just. The Epilogue can be precasted before you start a fight, it is also applied to spirit weapons such as 正义之剑 if using any.
Tome priority
You want to use these three skills off-cooldown. Note that Epilogue: Ashes of the Just has the same cooldown as 净化火焰 so, if you use them together, you can look at Purging Flames to check the remaining cooldown of Epilogue: Ashes of the Just without having to open the Tome. Chapter 3: Heated Rebuke can be used as an opener to pull enemies together.
When using 沉言重词, you will have some spare Pages in case you need some utility from the other 2 Tomes.
As for your weapons, you can use all your skills loosely following this priority
Axe-torch
Pistol-pistol
Symbol of Ignition is very powerful, make sure to only use it when you will be free to ignite it by hitting your enemy with other skills/projectiles. Don't use Hail of Justice if you don't have an active Symbol of Ignition.
If everything you have is on cooldown, fill with auto-attacks.
潜能咒语 and "怒气冲天！" off-cooldown for 急速.解放之誓 and the heal skill 慰藉咒语. Do not spam this mantra. Use a charge each time you refill to 3 charges. If you have 敏捷 from a nearby ally, the cooldown of the mantra will line-up perfectly with the cooldown of the trait (alacrity doesn't affect trait cooldowns, though it does affect skills from traits).
稳健急速 to help maintain it.
勇气圣书 has many good defensive skills as mentioned above.正义圣书 while it is NOT dormant will blind nearby enemies due to 
盲目正义.
圣盾 in case you need to block a dangerous attack.
