EQWR is your highest damage combo, I usually start E for the undodgeable poke, get W second level for the burst, and Q for the third level for lockdown. E into Q will stun them, forcing them to eat your empowered W for massive damage. E gains AoE from them being on fire, which isn't massively important when bursting a single target; W on the other hand gets a big damage boost so you never want to start a combo with that if you actually expect to kill someone. I max my W for the waveclear and for my nuke combo.

If you get ganked post 6, QEW to set both champs on fire, nuke, and then R will get you a double usually. If a teamfight breaks out try and set as many champs on fire before ulting as possible; QEWR just like you're getting ganked will maximize your AoE burst damage.

Brand shares a strong similarity with Vel'koz in the way that you're a god of snowballing and teamfights... up until the point later on in the game where you can't one shot the tanks anymore. Then you drop off pretty hard and you'll be needing your team to be useful because most tanks do enough damage to kill you, and they can usually chase you down and serve you up to their allies if you get caught.
