    Introduction

    Condition Firebrand is a powerful, self-sufficient DPS build with flexible built-in utilities via Tome Skills. and powerful optional Guardian utility skills.

    Build Fundamentals

    Damage foes with Axe/Torch and Pistol/Pistol before entering Tome of Justice for more damage.

    Use the flexibility of Tome Skills to adapt to the situation and provide damage, support, or utility as needed.

    Build Specifics

    Mantra skills are cast in a cone in front of you, so position yourself appropriately to deal damage or apply boons to allies. Mantra charges cast instantly and do not interrupt other skills, so use them while casting other skills to maximize efficiency.

    You can open Tome of Justice and Stow Tome while casting other skills without interrupting them. Use this to maximize DPS.

    Dealing damage revolves around regularly switching weapons, to cycle through skills as often as possible. Pay attention to charges of the fourth skill on Torch and Pistol. Both can hold up to two charges and you want both to be charging almost all of the time. This is achieved by using one charge immediately when swapping to a weapon, a second time when a charge becomes available, and a third time before swapping to the other weapon.

    Alternatives

    Being a Firebrand has the incredible upside of being a Guardian, which has lots of quite useful utility skills to choose from, depending on the encounter and what is needed to fill gaps in your group or personal kit.

    Introduction

    Low Intensity Condition Firebrand is a powerful, self-sufficient DPS build with flexible built-in utilities via Tome Skills.

    Build Fundamentals

    Damage foes with Axe/Torch before entering Tome of Justice for more damage.

    Use the flexibility of Tome Skills to adapt to the situation and provide damage, support, or utility as needed.

    Build Specifics

    Mantra skills are cast in a cone in front of you, so position yourself appropriately to deal damage or apply boons to allies. Mantra charges cast instantly and do not interrupt other skills, so use them while casting other skills to maximize efficiency.

    Radiant Fire creates an extra charge of Zealot's Fire upon critical strikes. To use this optimally, pre-cast Zealot's Flame, auto-attack until Radiant Fire adds an extra charge of Zealot's Flame, then use both charges consecutively.

    You can open Tome of Justice and Stow Tome while casting other skills without interrupting them. Use this to maximize DPS.
