Support Firebrand WvW Zerg Build

GW2. WvW Build. Support Firebrand WvW Zerg Build. Guardian WvW. Large Scale WvW Build.

The Support Firebrand is a guardian WvW Zerg build which provides many powerful boons such as stability, aegis, and resistance. It gives a decent amount of healing and cleansing, but mostly it provides this wide array of benefits while near allies so it needs to be stacked tightly to keep its team alive and buffed.

Stability is the most important aspect of this build, and keeping a good uptime of it on your squad requires a rotation between multiple skills. Mostly you want to apply stability right before engaging with enemies, to keep your team from being controlled and to let them use their skills. With so many sources to provide stability, knowing which situations are optimal usage can help to upkeep its duration. Try to cover your stability sources by casting your heal or other boon applications afterwards so they are removed by strips first.

• “Stand Your Ground!” – While moving or enemy squads engage on you, the most reliable way of escaping CC.
• F3 Tome (check internal CD) – A stun break and stability so it can be great when already caught by CC.
• Skill 5 in F3 Tome – Provides a small bit of aegis and defense so it is great to use when engaging on the enemy as well as filling gaps in your bigger stability cooldowns.
• Mantra of Liberation – A stun break and stability so it can be great when already caught by CC.
• Hallowed Ground – When your squad will stand still for a while, or you can cast it ahead of your group as they run through it.

Resistance and Quickness are the next most important boons to upkeep as immobilize and chill are ignored by resistance which can be deadly, and quickness helps your team be much more efficient in their roles. Quickness is applied by simply using your heal skill, but resistance can come from the F3 Tome 4, Spear 5, or landing any CC on an enemy.

Otherwise, rotate through your weapon and tome skills to provide what your party needs:

• Healing: Dodge, F2 Tome 4, Spear 1/2
• Aegis: Mace 3, Shield 4, Mantra of Solace, F3 Tome 5
• Cleanse: Spear 4, F2 Tome 2/5
• Projectile Defense: F3 Tome 3, Shield 5

Alternatives

• Weapon: Replace Spear with Staff
• Weapon: Replace Mace with Axe for extra CC
