Heal Quickness Firebrand

August 2023

Introduction

Heal Quickness Firebrand is a versatile defensive support that provides permanent Quickness, Might, Fury, Protection, and Swiftness. This build also has strong access to Stability, Aegis, condition cleanses, and other useful utilities.

The Axe variant provides permanent Fury uptime, higher DPS, and CC/pulls via Blazing Edge, but might lack Regeneration without Mantra of Lore.

The Mace variant gains access to Regeneration via Symbol of Faith, healing from Auto-attack chains, and Aegis from Protector's Strike. Make sure that Fury is covered by another player in your subgroup if playing with Mace.

Build Fundamentals

Use Staff to apply Might and Swiftness, then swap to Mace/Shield to upkeep Regeneration and apply Aegis via Shield of Judgment and Protector's Strike. Open Tome of Resolve for more healing and condition cleanses.

Use all of your charges of Mantra of Potence and cast "Feel My Wrath!" when grouped up with your squad to apply Quickness, Might, and Fury.

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

Build Specifics

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

Use Potent Haste and Restoring Reprieve to apply Quickness to allies in front of you:

• Restoring Reprieve, however, should only be used for Quickness every 7 seconds due to Liberator's Vow's internal cooldown.
• All charges of Potent Haste should be used when your group is stacked as the cool-down of Mantra of Potence is shorter than waiting on your charges to recover while also giving even more quickness and might with the final charge.

Different utility skills can also provide Quickness via Stalwart Speed depending on the encounter requirements:

• "Stand Your Ground!"
• "Advance!"
• Shield of Judgment
• Protector's Strike
• Epilogue: Unbroken Lines
• Hallowed Ground
• Mantra of Liberation
• The final cast of Mantra of Solace.

Use your symbols off cool-down as they pulse healing via Writ of Persistence and apply boons.
