===Variants===
 +
* '''Legendary Dwarf Stance''' can be used instead of '''Legendary Alliance Stance''', offering very similar DPS and different utility.
 +
* You can also opt to camp '''Greatsword'''. This is a small DPS loss, and allows you to bring a utility weapon like '''Staff''' in your other set.
  
−
===Pet Variants===
 
−
* {{tooltip|Bristleback}} allows you to abuse the behavior of {{Skill|Rain of Spikes (soulbeast)}}: when used inside the hitbox of a boss with adds present, you can strike the boss with up to nine projectiles instead of the intended three. It can also be used to provide yourself with Sharpen Spines before swapping to another pet and starting the fight.
 
−
* {{tooltip|Warthog}} provides additional breakbar damage with {{Skill|Brutal Charge (soulbeast porcine)}}.
 
−
* {{tooltip|Fanged Iboga}} inflicts a large amount of confusion. While your build is not optimized for this it is still a significant damage boost on Cairn, Soulless Horror, and the Twin Largos.
 
−
 
−
 
−
===Skill Variants===
 
−
* {{Skill|Bear Stance}} over {{Skill|"We Heal As One!"}} in condition-heavy fights to clear conditions from yourself and your allies.

−
===Trait Variants===
 
−
{{Trait|Oppressive Superiority}} combined with the Warthog and {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Mad King}} offers higher personal damage and a greater proportion of your damage comes from power. {{Trait|Leader of the Pack}} will outperform it in the vast majority of situations, except where the target takes extra power damage (e.g. Vale Guardian or Keep Construct).

Ramsey25 gave this build 5 stars • February 2024
A very strong all rounder and reliable damage. Easy to master and bleed utilities have no animations, so can be used anytime.
4 stars
OfficerAndyGentleman gave this build 4 stars • May 2023
Burstier than most condi builds, less spikey than most power builds. Very good all-rounder, and slightly less dependent on flanking than other soulbeast builds.
5 stars
Warming Hearth gave this build 5 stars • May 2022
Power soulbeast has great burst but low sustained damage. Condi soulbeast has low burst but great sustained damage. Combine both and you get the best dps soulbeast build for raids. Great build
