How do I make a Support Firebrand build?

I thought the Tomes would be more like the OG one, but the healing seem major weak for me during the events. So I figured I am doing something wrong. whats a good healing support build for Firebrand for Metas and WvW support?

Weak ?If you play minstrel + (healing power) runes you have 1300 healing power. +150 with quickness +100 food.Bonus outgoing healing : mace trait +25%, force of will +9%, monk runes +10%, food +10%, sigils of (????) +10% , oil +6%, f2#5 +33%

In fight :regen + battle presence = 1100 heals/sAegis = 2600, dodge roll =3200, Water sigil = 2200, F2#1 = 4000, F2#4 =4000, shield#5 =3500, mercifull intervention=7000

Condi or power, heal or buff? Mantra of Solace and Mantra of Potence are the core skills, with the other slots changing as needed.

Mace/Shield/Power with Commanders gear and Valor tree can put out a lot of quickness, with secondary heals through Aegis spam and Tenacious Defense. You'll do more "healing" through damage prevention via Aegis then actual healing, but it's still strong support. Alternately, use Radiance and Zeal with Mystic Rebuke to turn into a porcupine tank with strong AOE damage instead of healing.

Condi with the new Plaguedoctor gear lets you focus on healing while retaining some strong burst DPS through Tome of Justice. Valor/Honor trees give out a lot of passive healing through symbols and boons. Mace gives more healing, while Sword and Axe proc the Justice burning effect often and let you maintain pressure.

Note that Firebrand is a close range support, and can't really heal at a distance except occasionally with Bow of Truth. On the upside, it puts out of lot of boons and general goodness to everyone that's nearby even without concentrating on support. It's the kind of class you really want to fight next to, but will never be the main healer of a raid group.

There is 0 reason to go for commanders gear. It's bad in PVE; where you can do more support with the same damage in harrier for power or seraph for condi.In WvW commander would be decent if FB had means of doing proper damage compared to healing. Minstrel wins over commanders by a huge margin every time.

Nobody uses valor; virtues is better for healing to allies. Valor is for self-sustain which is never needed in PvE. Nobody uses sword for burn FB; scepter and axe are both better. will never be the main healer of a raid group.

FB is one of the most capable healers in the game.

You shouldn't be spreading so much misinformation. Commanders is strictly worse than harrier (PVE) and minstrel (WvW).Plaguedoctor is strictly worse than seraph (better in PvE; used for condi / support hybrids) while both are next to useless in WvW.Valor isn't a thing; virtues is better. Heal FB can easily be the main healer of a raid as long as you bring something that provides 25 might. They heal better than druids by a long shot.

I use this, pretty standard.
