Firebrand - Quickness Support Celestial DPS

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 坚毅令状 and 学识咒语 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% 急速, 100% 激怒, 100% 再生, 35% 保护, ~14 威能, options for 圣盾 and a lot of condi cleanse because of 学识咒语.

This build should be played with an 敏捷 provider that can also fill in the gaps in 威能.

Weapon Variants

• Even though it is lower damage than running only mainhand Pistol, Axe is taken to provide permanent 激怒 uptime and an extra symbol for 坚毅令状.
• Staff can be taken to provide an additional burst healing option, or for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
  • If running staff, Pistol/Torch is the better option for the other set (unless you need Axe).

Skill Variants

Utility skills

Swap out 净化火焰 if you need extra utility

• 学识咒语 if you need extra 再生 or condi cleanse. You should run this skill if you take 传奇学识, as you won't have spare pages to cast Chapter 3 Azure Sun without 沉言重词.
• 庇护之地 if more CC is needed.
• 神圣之地 if the stability of 勇气圣书 is not enough.
• 反射之墙 if the reflect of 勇气圣书 is not enough.
• 真理之弓 for more healing.

Trait Variants

• If you are not fully consuming your mantras, you can take 传奇学识 for ~5 extra 威能.
• If you have classes in your group that provide enough 威能, you could take one of the following instead of 强化力量, but you will generate 9-12 less 威能 for your group:
  • 荣耀法杖 will give you 8% more boon duration, and another 8% if you're using staff.
  • 纯洁之心 will result in more healing.

This equipment has only 80 extra toughness.
