GUILD WARS 2: The Firebrand - Detailed Class Guide [Path of Fire Guardian Elite Spec]

This is an up to date Guild Wars 2 guide covering everything you need to know about the Firebrand, which is an elite specialization of the Guardian. This video shows off all of the weapons the Firebrand can use and looks at all of the individual weapon skills. It also has a look at all of the healing, utility & elite skills the Firebrand has at it's disposal. It then goes on to look at the elite specialization for the Firebrand and what each individual trait does for your character. The video finishes with a short combat demonstration with a basic Firebrand build so you can see what it looks like when it all comes together.

Feel free to post below any questions you have about the Firebrand 😊

[@ridespirals]

man I'm so glad they took away the precharging mantras things, regular ammo skills are great

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Totally agree 👍

[@isa2758]

nope they took away the things that stood out from others mmo.....having your character "chanting" plus animation was full of charms. Same thing with mesmer.

[@Tobens123]

as a new player I highly appreciate your videos! great work!

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Thank you for your kind words ☺️ I like to make things that are helpful to new players like yourself ☺️

[@Nadi12]

Thank you for this! I wanted a change from my Dragonhunter and wanted to try out Firebrand but my goodness there's a lot going on and was really intimidating.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Haha there's definitely a lot to it! Glad I could help 😃

[@jonahk6577]

Just convinced me too try out guardian. Great vid 👍

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Awesome 😊 a lot of good options with the guardian!

[@PathWars]

Awesome! :D

[@remydantes12]

Can you do a DragonHunter Guardian GS + longbow build for open world? Would love to try longbow!

[@Levetteful]

It’s nice to know someone else doesn’t use a long range weapon...I find the sword works really well for quickness too

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Melee is very enjoyable and generally better for damage but it's always good to keep a ranged weapon on you somewhere as some boss fights can be quite difficult without one 😃

[@emekiniudoh4304]

Did the mantras for firebrand change?

[@aldenencluna6409]

Nice.

[@vilacvuong5779]

Going to have to check FB, great detailed video. Thanks! Does anyone know what armor his using? Or skin his using? I really like it.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Thanks man! It's the Logan Pact Marshal outfit from the gem store 😃

[@vilacvuong5779]

@@HeroicFlamingo cool, been checking every day since I saw your amour. Not on sale atm but will keep my eyes peeled:-).

Great vid! Can you tell me you fashion? Wanna try it on my norn :)

Thanks man! I am wearing the "Logan's Pact Marshal" outfit which can be purchased on the gem store and the dyes I am using are Sand Shark and Golden Lion 😃

[@stephensutter3823]

So how do you level up the firebrand or Dragonhunter? Do you just go through your master skills and you'll eventually be able to level up the elite class?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Once you reach level 80 and max out all of your core specializations, you will unlock the ability to put hero points in to the elite specialization trees. Once you max out that tree, you'll have all of the skills and traits associated with it 😊 bear in mind that you do need at least one of the expansions for this!

[@stephensutter3823]

@@HeroicFlamingo so I have the expansions and I have maxed out my core skills and specializations, but once I reached lvl 80 I haven't been able to earn more hero points to spend on elite specializations. All I have been able to do is the Mastery Rank stuff.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Can you see the elite specialization trees in your menu? It should cost 250 hero points to max out each tree. Farm the hero points in the expansion maps as they give you 10 instead of 1 so you only need 25 to max your tree 😃

[@stephensutter3823]

@@HeroicFlamingo So once I reached level 80 I couldn't gain any more hero points. I had everything maxed out and was able to select a few skills for the Firebrand due to left over hero points, but I haven't been able to earn any more since. The game was saying that I had a Mastery Rank skill to unlock. So I started Heart of Thornes to be able to unlock it, but I still haven't beat the original game content main story yet, and still haven't been able to earn more hero points

[@HeroicFlamingo]

There are loads of hero points in the Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire maps so you'll have to farm them there 😊

[@aza2k11]

im new to the game and was wondering if this build is still viable and new player friendly and easy to play thanks and love the guide

[@HeroicFlamingo]

I'm not recommending a specific build in this video but the Firebrand in general is really good but I wouldn't say I would recommend it to new players! ☺️

[@aza2k11]

@@HeroicFlamingo what would you recommend as I’m following you leveling guide

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Well Guardian is really good for new players so if you follow my leveling guide for the Guardian, that should sort you out! 😃 Then when you hit level 80, I would recommend looking at the Dragonhunter elite spec ☺️

[@guihermeborracha7412]

Can anyone tell me what helmet he is using?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

It's all the Logan's Pact Marshal Outfit from the gem store 😃

[@michalbradw]

Still usefull in 2024 🎉

[@ravmedic852]

A real paladin....but...Why the Axe?...as some barbarian...

[@BeatsByZ3P0]

Really making me not wanna be a Dragonhunter anymore

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Dragonhunter is better for an overall power build but Firebrand is just a lot more exciting 😂

[@yorshka6955]

Why does your game look so good? Mine doesnt look as good.

[@gungan5822]

I hate all the guardian elite specs. I don't want bows, i don't want 1h axe, and I don't want an offhand sword.
Wtf are these specs?

What do you want then?

Thats an endgame axe. It looks like just a irl axe lol

Dang. Be cooler if you actually pulled out a book instead of your hand being empty
