Firebrand Viable in PvP? When?

[Kal Edosh.1327]

Animations on hammer are laughable. Every skill is 3 seconds before I strike? What?  Really?

Precasting Mantras in PVP = "wait! Hold up! Everyone STOP... The firebrand has to unzip his... mantra............................................Ok. We good!"

Really Anet? What a dumb idea. I thought the new guy was a pvper? Nobody just waits for your animations.

Actually there are just the right amount of firebrands playing the game. We need more other classes playing the game. Maybe if Anet knew how to market them? Or market the game in general?

Firebrand will not be viable in PvP after this next balance patch. What can ANET do to make it viable? They need to read the forums

    Mmmm...  I've playing Carrion Firebrand in this ranked  2 v 2 season and was able to reach gold I and a 19/11 w/l ratio which is better than I expected for the arguably worst PvP spec.. The main problem is the sustain over time (all heals fall in the range bwrtween terrible and bad), but in terms of damage (specially burst) and tools to deal vs different foes it can wok ok...  for a brief time. Can output very solid cc and huge amounts of AoE damage in a short period, but after that your skill bar remains depleted and your mobility and re-sustain is very limited. 

   Despite the subpar performance I think that I'll keep playing it due I enjoy the gameplay.

Carrion Firebrand has been fun for me but still not enough to be viable. Couple more buffs to dmg.sustain and should be decent.
