Overview

The Condi Firebrand is a self-sufficient DPS build, which is not entirely relying on support from the party. This is achieved by bringing slightly more than 50% Quickness to the party. Further, this build brings Stability for the team. Don’t be fooled though; the DPS sacrifice is neglectable so that the Condi Firebrand maintains consistent very high DPS. In addition to that, a free utility slot allows the Condi Firebrand to adapt to almost any situation and fill the parties’ needs ideally.

The beginner version should not be played in the slot of a Quickness-provider. Instead, it is a fully fledged DPS class! The added Quickness will help to cover potential gaps in Quickness application and alleviate some of stress the Quickness-provider might face.

This is a great build to get started in fractals as you provide a base amount of supportive utility. As you progress through fractals and discover new depths of the immersive gameplay of Guild Wars 2, you can tweak this build more and more. Before reading the advanced version of this page, we recommend acquiring an in-depth understanding of your CC skills and when to use them efficiently. You also should be able to hit more than 45% Quickness uptime (measure this with the arc-dps boon table addon ). And finally, you should be able to execute the basic step-by-step rotation provided below without spending too much thought on it.

The advanced page provides a more complete overview of all the utilities the Guardian has to offer. If you ever feel like you are missing information feel free to already swap to the advanced page!

Rotation / Skill usage

Step-by-Step Rotation

Step 1: Quickness

Step 2: Basic Skills

Start by using the following 3 skills off-cooldown in this order of priority:

Step 3: F1 Tome

Every 15 seconds enter Tome of Justice , and do the following rotation:

You can use your Purging Flames to time this, since it has the same cooldown as Epilogue: Ashes of the Just .

Step 4: Torch 4

Lastly, add Zealot's Flame to your rotation.

Note: Unless you execute the rotation perfectly, this will eventually de-sync. Once this happens, just use both the Zealot's Fire you get from Radiant Fire and Zealot's Flame off-cooldown.

Golem Rotation
