I never got the chance to try firebrand during the beta weekend. And atm im struggling to decide what to play in PoF.
Im mainly PvE so at first i thought spellbreaker looked cool but then i heard its lackluster in PvE compared to Berserker. Then i thought Soulbeast looked cool but heard mainly bad thing about that aswell.
Firebrand looks cool aswell but i only have Zerker gear and no condi gear at all.

So im curious in terms of dmg and PvE capabilites. What does the firebrand do? Dmg? Support?

I mainly do pvp and wvw (the only pve i do is actually getting the elites) but if i did pve only i can say that with the proper build i think Fb might be a beast in open world pve.

In pve you have time to plan skills and its predictable so cast times on tomes and to some extent the small cones on mantras can be handled.

Get some gold from the trader and buy a set of rampagers draconic (an entire armor cost less than 25 gold) and just fire away.

I thought it was very fun playing but with a to high skill cap in pvp and wvw but in pve it will be great fun with Tome of Justice refreshing on each kill.

For pvp and wvw they need to fix at least casting times and cones on mantras in order to be played as some sort of meta.

I tested firebrand with celestial and was ok killing few mobs at a time. Havent tried zerker or similar dps gear tho. In pve it could be fun with almost 100% quickness uptime….but they may nerf guardian/dh/fb cause of its reputation. Everything can be good in pve.

It will eventally get nerfed, but not now since they want people to buy it.
F1 + radiante…

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

it’s condi/support, so zerker gear won’t do
