[[Firebrand]] is an [[Specialization#Elite_specializations|elite specialization]] for the [[guardian]] unlocked with the [[Path of Fire]] [[expansion]]. These lore keepers were once the chroniclers of the achievements of the [[Elona|Elonian]] people, and their culture. They stand against [[Palawa Joko]], who seeks to rewrite history in his own image. Empowered by the fiery hearts of the Elonians fighting for their lives and lands, firebrands have manifested the traditional guardian [[virtues]] as [[tome]]s: repositories of lore that firebrands bring forth to burn away the oppressors, lift the spirit of their allies, and courageously protect them from harm. <br />
<br />
They inspire allies by shouting [[mantra]]s that heal and provide powerful [[boon]]s, purging their impurities and their enemies alike. Firebrands can use [[axe]]s on their [[main hand]], combining fire and light to burn foes with vengeance, and pull them to their reckoning. Firebrands are very versatile, and can specialize as either damage dealers, supports, or healers.<br />

=== Profession mechanic ===<br />
{{Quotation|Firebrand|Knowledge ''is'' power!}}<br />
[[Tome]]s replace [[virtue]] skills as the Firebrand's profession mechanic. Activating a virtue opens a tome which replaces weapon skills with tome skills. Using a tome skill costs [[File:Page cost.png|20px|Page Cost|link=page]] [[page]]s, a special resource that self-replenishes over time. Passive effects of Firebrand's virtues are identical to that of standard Guardian's, and opening a tome disables its passive effect for a period of time. <br />
<br />
Each tome skill costs a certain amount of pages to cast, and the available page count is shared by all tomes. By default, Firebrands have a maximum of 5 tome pages and it takes 8 seconds to generate a tome page. Using up all available pages will automatically exit a tome. Tomes can also be put away early by using the {{skill icon|Stow Tome|size=18}} skill.<br />
<br />
Respective skills in each tome share some similarities:<br />
* Chapter 1 affects a conal area directly in front of the caster and has no [[cooldown]], allowing for multiple casts in rapid succession.<br />
* Chapter 2 is a point-blank [[area of effect]] with a short cooldown.<br />
* Chapter 3 can be cast from range and has utility applications, such as an area [[pull]] and [[reflect|projectile reflection]].<br />
* Chapter 4 creates a large [[combo field]], pulsing an effect every second for their duration. <br />
* The Epilogue grants the caster and their allies a unique and powerful [[buff]]. These feature a longer [[cooldown]], but often make a big impact in group scenarios.<br />

== Notes ==<br />
{{bug|<br />
* After first unlocking [[Axe Proficiency]] and equipping the Firebrand trait line, even before unlocking the next minor trait [[Purity of Word]], [[Virtue of Courage]] is replaced with [[Tome of Courage]]. When activated, the player receives the Tome and their weapon skills are replaced with the tome skills. However, while tome skills can be used and go on cooldown, they have no effects. The player is therefore effectively unable to fight until the tome is stowed.<br />
* When going into [[downstate]], you lose all your dormant effects for your tomes, effectively resetting all the active effects when revived.}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Two of the original elite skills for the guardian were also tomes.<br />
* The Firebrand's [[mantra]]s were one of the reasons why [[ArenaNet]] developed the [[Ammunition skill|Ammunition System]]. The old mantra system was inconvenient as once a mantra charge was used and the fight ended, players could either waste the next charge and wait for it to recharge or go into the next fight with one less mantra charge.<br />
* The Elonian Firebrand [[Roni Gehianu]] can be found east of [[Derelict Delve]] in the [[Desert Highlands]].<br />
