Power (Quick) Firebrand

The Power Quickness Firebrand (also Quickness Firebrand or Quickbrand) provides permanent Quickness to the party while dealing good DPS.

It plays very similar to Power Dragonhunter 🡢 Go to build and Power Willbender 🡢 Go to build with the addition of Firebrand mantras and tomes. Thanks to those, the build is able to adapt to various situations with Stability, Resistance, reflects and pulls.

Using Bane Signet to break defiance bars also increases your allies’ Power by 216 for 10 seconds thanks to Perfect Inscriptions .

To keep up Quickness:

• Use "Feel My Wrath!" whenever ready
• Use Mantra of Potence and Mantra of Solace (keep in mind that Mantra of Solace only shares Quickness once every 7 seconds thanks to Liberator's Vow )
• Only use these skills close to your allies - try to “puke” on them with the mantras
• Keep in mind that equipping/stowing a tome grants you 3 seconds of Quickness every 8 seconds thanks to Swift Scholar !

The DPS rotation is the same as Power Dragonhunter :

• If the encounter allows you to, you can prestack the following symbols:

  • Equip Mace and precast Symbol of Faith
  • Equip Scepter and precast Symbol of Punishment
  • And finally, equip sword and cast Symbol of Blades
  • This way, when the encounter starts, 3 symbols will hit the target and get up your stacks of Symbolic Avenger
• On greatsword:

  • Use Symbol of Resolution , you should cancel the aftercast with weapon stowing or simply moving
  • Use Whirling Wrath while standing in a symbol inside the target’s hitbox (if done correctly it results in 14 hits)
• On Sword:

  • Use Ray of Judgment , try if possible to cancel the aftercast with weapon swap, stow, or Symbol of Blades
  • Use Symbol of Blades
  • Use Zealot's Defense
  • Shield of Wrath when you’re not receiving hits - use it shortly before breaking defiance bars. Can also be used to help with stacking Might
• Apart from that:

  • Bane Signet to break defiance bars and provide the group with a temporary 216 Power buff
  • Pull (after Binding Blade ) is nice CC skill as well
  • Sword of Justice for additional DPS and vulnerability. Also provides 3 seconds of Crippled
  • Scepter plays the same as the sword, just without Zealot's Defense

Tomes are very useful when no other skills are ready. Tome of Justice also gets refreshed every time an enemy dies (works with anomalies at Skorvald/Artsariiv/Arkk, knights at MAMA, and hallucinations at Siax).

Tome of Courage and Tome of Resolve are great for high incoming damage scenarios.

• Tome of Justice (F1):

  • Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath is a ticking AoE, good for single target and great for AoE DPS, provides fire field so make sure to use it before the fight to stack some might
  • Epilogue: Ashes of the Just makes your surrounding allies inflict Burning - worth using as precast
  • Chapter 3: Heated Rebuke is an AoE pull (150 defiance bar damage)
  • Often these skills are used as an opener
• Tome of Resolve (F2):

  • Skill 2 is a party condition cleanse
  • Skill 3 grants Vigor, Regeneration and Swiftness
  • Skill 4 is a good party heal
  • Skill 5 increases healing on allies for 8s by 33% and converts up to 5 conditions to boons
• Tome of Courage (F3):

  • Skill 1 grants Stability and Swiftness
  • Skill 3 is a 5s reflect
  • Skill 4 grants Resistance and breaks stun
  • Skill 5 grants Aegis, Protection, Stability and 300 toughness for 5 seconds

It is very much recommended to play Condi Firebrand 🡢 Go to build since it provides much better DPS compared to the power variant. If you still want to play Power Quickness Firebrand for whatever reason follow these rough guidelines.

• Open with Refraction for resolution
• Cast Purify and swap to spear. Camp spear now.
• Priority list:

  1. Zealot's Flurry (Spear 2)
  2. Symbol of Spears (Spear 4)
  3. Brilliance (Spear 3)
