Guide

Despite being very common in pugs, this build is not meta! We highly recommend to play Heal Renegade instead if your team struggle to survive, since Firebrand can deal way more damage than Renegade.

This build takes away any responsabilities from the team. If you play this build we highly recommend learning the signet share variant. If you just want a good and smooth run, take a look at the Fractal Pages and practice your rotation until you can execute it by heart.

It provides permanent Quickness, Regeneration, Fury and a decent amount of might. Exactly like the meta-counterpart it provides good offensive support via . 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 radience) to virtues for more heals.

When Afflicted is present or enemies are applying conditions, you can use (Staff3) and blast it with (Staff2) for area condition cleanse.

Equipment

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% boonduration. Please take in mind, that this is not THE gear setup you have to play, there are many variants that work. Its all about maximizing boon duration and healing power.
Yes, you can play full harrier - however you will loose some healing power.

In case your team downs all the time and you cannot keep your pug friends alive, you can swap radience for virtues. This however is NOT the default build and should only be played under extreme circumstances.
