Firebrand Support Build?
There’s to much cast time, and too short of range on most skills to be useful in anything right now. Just my impressions atm.

More or less my impression too.
Firebrand doesn’t seem to be very good to “main” a support build. There’s only so much you can do with long cast times, loooong cooldowns and being limited with “pages.”
When you have used up your tome of resolve, you’re a sitting duck in terms of supporting, while a druid can continue healing, entering celestial avatar and apply some very strong healing with damage increase to the party.
Firebrand is a hybrid in a sense, but it seems somewhat lost in what it actually is. Everything is locked behind long cast times, long cooldowns and the ammo/page system.
tl;dr: The support it offers is decent but unsurprisingly caster support doesn’t function properly in close-range, yet most of the tome skills are close-ranged. Tomes need at least 900 range to function in a sensible manner, but for now they basically scream “focus me to down me instantly”.
Mantras are garbage and 300 range, and base guardians have far better support utilities that also function from a far longer range.
