Notes

The best all-purpose ability focused loadout for sunbracers.
Stat priority: Res > rec = str > dis = int > mob

Originally I used utility kickstart as my armor charge spender to ensure having phoenix dive for surviving, since Heat Rises, Ember of Searing, and Momentum Transfer gave quite a lot of melee energy. But after realizing that Distribution still gives super energy, I think that distribution+dynamo are excellent for getting well even faster, and so I switched the armor charge spender to melee kickstart. It's important to always have at least one armor charge spender on, and this spender makes the most sense if not using special finisher.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Changes to build based on scenario:

If radiant is needed for anti-barrier, swap out Ember of Searing or Ember of Singing depending on whether melee or class energy is more important to you.

If Icarus Dash is needed for speed (like a timed encounter), replace Touch of Flame if survivability is still a major concern, replace Heat Rises if it's not. Use burst glide.

If not using Heat Rises, make sure to run Ember of Searing. It can also help to put on stacks on stacks to ensure even more armor charges when using melee to refund more energy with melee kickstart. It's also not worth using Empyrean anymore as you lose access to restoration x2, phoenix dive is still good though. Run Ember of Resolve for grenade kills to heal.

Can swap Bolstering Detonation for Momentum Transfer. Can swap Orbs of Restoration for Scavenger Mods.
