Overview

A condition DPS Soulbeast build for raids and fractals. The build is very straightforward to play and presses its skills off cooldown to deal high Bleeding, Burning, and Poison damage. As it has a high ramp up time, it works best on bosses without phases.

For an even simpler version without reliance on melee, see Soulbeast - Condi Shortbow DPS.
