Firebrand pvp

[Herdum.3194]

I’m looking for the help of an experienced firebrand, I would like to offer strong support to my sPVP team, but I’d also like to do some more damage than the standard bunker firebrand from MB. Any suggestions welcome, currently I swap my staff out for GS but lose the utility from it.

You could swap out rune of the water for rune of Balthazar, swap out Honor for Radiance (3-2-1 or 2-2-1) and apply sigil of smoldering on both weapon sets. This makes for a solid hybrid build where you can deal burning damage and heal allies at the same time.

You have half your stats invested into power and you're going for a condi build :trollface:

@Herdum.3194 there are a few harrier FB variants which are played as a mix of DPS and support. However, these are quite difficult builds and fall off at the high-end due to focus. That said both on EU and NA there are players who get fairly high leaderboard positions with variants of this build.

It's basically a 12k hp meme build. High boon duration and healing power, but no healing power modifiers. Most support comes from mantras and tomes to PREVENT damage rather than strictly outheal it. You have decent burst and decent cleave against unsuspecting players. F1 has good power damage on the 1111. There's quite a few variants that play slightly different things, like axe instead of scepter or sword and some others.

Yeah, if anything other than the meta Mender's build, check out this build.Find Jebro's channel in YT, and see his latest(August) NA Monthly AT cast, Guy E in Chaith's team plays it for the entire tournament, and their team is followed for the entire thing.
