Condition Celestial Firebrand

June 2024

Introduction

This build is meant to be a hybrid-support-damage setup, which will bring healing, boons and damage. Your damage distribution is roughly 60-40 for Power vs Condition Damage, this build is not strictly about conditions!

Your Condition Damage is carried by Shattered Aegis which will activate Mystic Rebuke whenever your applied is broken and activating Permeating Wrath as much as possible.

Build Fundamentals

Your sources of are:

• Shield of Judgment
• Protector's Strike
• Rejuvenating Respite as your third charge of Mantra of Solace
• Epilogue: Unbroken Lines in your Tome of Courage

To trigger Permeating Wrath often, use the AoEs you have access to such as Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath, Purging Flames, Symbol of Vengeance and Symbol of Faith. Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark is also a strong skill to reflect projectiles and proc your Permeating Wrath.

Remember that "Stand Your Ground!" is NOT a group stun-break, it’s only for yourself! Grant before you and your group is under any Crowd Controll effects. On the other hand, the charges of Mantra of Liberation are a group stun-break, use it to save your allies!

Build Specifics

Use as often as possible:

• Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath: your best Tome of Justice damage skill.
• Chapter 4: Stalwart Stand: very valuable application, use when clashing with your opponent.

Use at the right time:

• Epilogue: Unbroken Lines
• Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark: when used at the right time, this skill can proc Permeating Wrath and do a lot of damage.
• Chapter 3: Heated Rebuke: very valuable pull to group up enemies in AoEs, the page cost does not allow you to use this skill frequently though.
• Chapter 2: Radiant Recovery: Cleansing is primarily done by the secondary support and is not really your role, but providing supplementary cleanse can be done with this skill.

Use when you must:

• Epilogue: Eternal Oasis: this skill provides a lot of cleanses, but it will cost you three pages, which will lower your damage and boon output. Use only when you have no other option.

Crowd Control
