Despite being very common in pugs, this build is not the meta! It is part of a composition called PuG meta, you can read more about it here. We recommend to play Heal Renegade for PuGs who are more organized and know the mechanics (after around 150-250+ ), also a Firebrand can deal way more damage than Renegade. However if you fail mechanics Heal Firebrand is a way to success.
If you play this build we highly recommend learning the share variant. If you want a good and smooth run, take a look at the Fractal Pages. This class will not be doing much damage but understanding how the class works best and when to do sharing is important!
Note that this build variant is optimized for 150 agony resistance.
If you have more AR, feel free to swap out harrier pieces for cleric, as long as you are maintaining 100% boon duration. Please take in mind, that this is not THE gear setup you have to play, many variants work. It is all about maximizing boon duration and healing power.
Yes, you can play full harrier - however, you will lose some healing power.
Check the gear optimizer for more gear variants!

Virtues

It provides permanent Quickness, Regeneration, Fury and a decent amount of might. Exactly like the meta-counterpart it provides good offensive support via , it is important to understand that the signet share is essential to faster runs and sharing extra power during Exposed (broken Defiance bar). The main source of Quickness is and ; is optional.
The Heal Firebrand heals with any symbols, dodges, Regeneration, , and if necessary . If your group is unable to stay alive, you can swap out your offensive support ( and radiance) to virtues for more heals, but it should not be needed.
