Attributes

 * Leadership : 12 + 1 + 3
 * Scythe Mastery : 12

Usage
Like all the builds based upon shouts and chants, rythm is essential.


 * Anthem of Flame is best singed before entering into the fray, a good timing is around 4-5 seconds before renewing your main shout, so the inflicted burns will be cyclic.
 * Use your Glowing Signet to fuel your signature shout : "They're on Fire!", and gain some decent energy bonus (between 5 and 13), without interrupting your fighting.
 * The Blazing Finale should be started instants after your main shout.


 * Leader's Comfort is particularly well-named, so use it when you detect a pause in the pace of opponents or have to recover between fights.

Equipment

 * Weapon : a scythe of Fortitude, while the snathe could be a Sundering one.
 * Armor : a mix between Templar's Armor (for maxed health) and Overseer's Armor (for maxed energy).

Tips

 * Try to stay ahead in the health war against your opponents, you have the tools for.
 * To use a scythe effectively, you need to place yourself well among a pack of foes.
 * To use this build effectively, you also need to swing at the foe with the lowest Health (even if more armored).

Counters

 * Repetitive condition removal.
 * Interrupt on your chant or healing attacks.
 * People refusing to die. ;)
 * Ignifuged material. :p

Synergy

 * Another shouter would give exponential results, see the variant if you're singing alone.

Enchantments
A fellow team member protecting you (or your whole party) enchantments which granted effects : So they can be removed short before ending and give you the healing benefits from Penitent Strike.
 * decrease over time,
 * have short lifespan,
 * or give you max health bonus.

The Hot Potato
Use "Lead the Way!" instead of Anthem of Flame for a more solo-centered build, since you won't grant team members the added burning damage and protection (from your shout), but in the meantime, you will be a real hot potato.
