Mainly getting around to using the new armor prefixes because personally I like the value of the 4stat pieces more, aka not optimal DPS to all elitists but whatever. Using all exotics to be realistic with what’s achievable fresh at 80.

Staff is obviously replaceable for personal preference.

Sigil of Force because duh.
Sigil of Night for nightime dungeons, replacing with appropriate sigil for dungeons like Arah, or Sigil of Air OR Sigil of Bursting for all around damage/meta events. Still flip flopping between which is better.

Rune of the Berserker because it appears to have the best stats overall. 5% to damage and condition damage is awesome.
Rune of the Flame Legion being another possibility, but you lose condition damage in favor for 7% damage to burning foes and 20% burning duration (meh).
Rune of the Elementalist is also a possibility albeit probably the least valuable of the three here.

Shelter because blocking is extremely valuable, but Signet of Resolve for pure healing effectiveness

Bane Signet because power = more damage + more condition damage due to the Kindled Zeal spec under the Zeal tree. Knockdown is ok for emergencies.

Signet of Wrath because condition damage = well… condition damage. If you need an extra utility, replacing this is probably the best because raw power will have more carryover, plus Bane gives 180 power and 18 condition damage aka more bang for your buck technically speaking.

Utility spot for whatever you need/want

“Feel My Wrath!” because quickness and fury for you and your buddies. Best DPS option of the elite skills.

Im looking into burning Guard myself but yet to actually try it, so take this with a big asterix.

From my understanding a full condi guard really needs, Supreme justice from the virtue tree.
I was looking at using the virtue tree instead of Zeal.
I dont think Longbow has the best symbol uptime so the grandmasters in zeal are a bit of a waste.

Virtues are more or less mandatory in any burn based build.
Supreme justice
Permeathing wrath, makes the passive VoJ an aoe. Test a procession of blades with and without this trait on a stack of enemies. You will understand why this is a must to a burn build :-)
Procession of blades (multiple hits means lots of burning)
Purging flames (3 stacks of burning in one skill)
Judges intervention (3stacks of burning in one skill)
Whirling Wrath (multiple hits means lots of burning)

I would go for runes/sigils that boost duration on burning,

Did some small alterations and this build deals 20k of burning from Judges intervention and purging flames alone. With no stacks from the sigils mind you.

Btw Big Game Hunter is very questionable in a burn build since a burn build almost requires that you never use active Virtue of Justice. Its weird but that is how it is.

Now add in that you drop procession of blades and do a whirling wrath to trigger permeathing wrath :-)
