Equipment

  • + Health armour.
  • Shield with vs Blunt mod, +5 energy spear of defense.
  • 60 health stave
  • 15/-1 set

Usage

  • Keep Fire Attunement and Aura of Restoration up at all times.
  • Find a mob of players or NPCs and cast Searing Flames, Glowing Gaze, Liquid Flame repeatedly.
  • Use Glyph of Lesser Energy whenever possible to assist your energy.
  • Cast Meteor Shower on a bunched up group of players/NPCs to cause panic.
  • Resurrection Signet for fallen allies.

Counters

  • Enchantment removal.
  • Disruption is a major problem, Searing Flames is your key skill and if it's gone so is most of your damage.
  • Anti-caster spells: Backfire, Diversion etc.
  • Frigid Armor and Avatar of Melandru will prevent burning being applied, however this is not a big threat as they are uncommon skills for the most part.
  • Signet of Humility.
  • Mantra of Flame.
  • Protection Prayers (Protective Spirit in particular).
  • This build is easily countered by the opposing team spreading out.

Variants

  • Replace Glyph of Sacrifice with Aura of Restoration for PvE.
  • Aura of Restoration for Dash if doing Alliance Battles or Competitive Missions.
  • In Heroes' Ascent players use a Mesmer secondary proffession and replace Glyph of Lesser Energy with Mantra of Flame in case of encounters with other SF teams.
  • Replace Liquid Flame for Meteor or Gale if it fits the team build.
  • Replace Resurrection Signet for Resurrection Chant if the GvG build needs a hard res.
