Ive seen alot of people say how bad FireBranded are. Ive only played 1 Firebranded now in 2 games, but their healing has been a lifesaver, especially when the enemy targets Carlos or Kaeris. Their ranged damage is better then a Gamin, and though not as tough to killed as a Burning +6 gamin, I tend to keep them in the back so they survive quite a bit, especially with Magical Training and a pyre nearby.
