GW2 WvW - Firebrand Bootcamp

This is the (slightly edited) recording of my Firebrand/Boonbrand training on JUGS' discord - done with covid-voice. I tried to cover all the important basics and also some more advanced things like reasoning behind trait-choices etc. so aspiring FB mains can decide themselves on which gear and build to use. Easy fb build for starting out: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAYl7l... CC heavy fb build for resistance: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAYd7l... You can swap out transference sigils for bounty/concentration if you want more boon duration and also take the trait "Liberator's Vow" if you need additional quickness in your sub. Edit: I do say in the beginning that you should only run HFB in squads. As of recently burn/celebrands have gained quite a bit of popularity in combination with a stab chrono. So that is now something you can also look into. 0:00 Intro 3:08 Important settings 5:55 Gear choices: stats, runes, sigils, weapons 8:44 Weapon skills 17:02 Tome skills 23:59 Utilities 32:17 Traits 40:55 CCs/Disables with Stoic Demeanor 41:38 Questions 46:11 Valor traitline as an option 48:02 Relics for specific situations/squad-comps 52:21 Positioning: pushing and pulling your party 56:56 Range/cone aoe of mantras 59:30 Question about monk relic 1:01:45 Rundown of scenarios 1:02:45 Rotating stab cds depending on pressure 1:07:21 Professionally running away as a FB 1:08:49 Hallowed Ground intervals and stunbreaks 1:10:27 Firefield and blasts 1:12:37 Protecting boons 1:16:17 Outro - discussion: How much healing can and should you do as a FB? 1:18:40 Voice-over: Your job as a FB and why you should trust your healers 1:20:44 Sigil of Transference for more healing vs. boon duration 1:22:04 Discussion: taking Relic of the Flock with a barrier Specter in party everuu on discord o/
