GW2. Raid Build. Condition Firebrand Quickness DPS Build. Guardian PvE. Group PvE Build.
Role: DPS
The Condition Quickness Firebrand is a DPS guardian build that can give quickness, protection, might, and decent support to its team. It excels at cleaving multiple enemies nearby and has great utility options as a guardian while doing great sustained damage.
Use the Mantra of Solace and Mantra of Potence when on top of your group to upkeep quickness on them. Use all charges of Potence and recast it when available, but save the final charge of Solace.
Prioritize using both the Torch 4 charges when possible for the highest damage, and then use your Tome of Justice (F1) every 20 seconds or when you run out of weapon skills in both sets. Only use the 5 > 4 > 2 in Justice Tome to get the extra page from using 3 pages in a row, but conserve your pages afterward.
Place symbols and Purging Flames on your team and the boss to share boons and cleansing. Swap to Pistols when both Torch 4 charges are on cooldown. The Pistols weapon set has more skills to use so there is less time to use your F1 Tome during that weapon swap. Prioritize using the Tome while in your Axe/Torch set.
Skill Priority:
- Mantra of Solace/Potence/”Feel My Wrath!” to upkeep Quickness
- Purging Flames
- Torch 4 > Axe 2 > Torch 4
- Tome F1 > 5 > 4 > 2 > Swap
- Pistol 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 4 > 2
You need to recast the Pistol 5 after it’s fully charged to detonate it for full charge.
