Information
- 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 in long boss fights without phases.
- For an even simpler version with less reliance on melee, see Soulbeast - Condi DPS Shortbow/Shortbow.
- This guide is focused on fractals. For the raid version see Soulbeast - Condi DPS.

Brutal Charge2½

Brutal ChargeCharge your foe and knock them down.
Damage: 1,173
Knockdown: 3 seconds
Combo Finisher: Leap
Range: 300 - Your second pet usually won't matter, as unmerging is a significant DPS loss, but you should equip a strong CC pet in the slot to save your group if CC is really bad.
- If you have enough time to precast, you can use
Juvenile Bristleback and precast 
Sharpen Spines before the fight, then switch back to Juvenile Lynx for a small DPS increase.

Usage
- The logic behind this rotation is to always
Quick Draw 
Bonfire and 
Poison Volley and fill in the gaps with other condition damage skills.
Opening Rotation
Loop Rotation and Skill Priority
- Weapon swap to proc Quick Draw and use Bonfire
- 24px Double Arc
Throw Torch- 24px Double Arc
- Bonfire
- 24px Double Arc
- Throw Torch
- Weapon swap to proc Quick Draw and use Poison Volley
Crippling Shot- Poison Volley
- Poison Volley

- Repeat from 1.
- Fill in gaps between weapon skills with utility skills in this priority order:
- 24px Maul
- Viper's Nest
- 24px Primal Cry (if you have time before a weapon skill comes off cooldown)
- Autoattacks. Be sure not to interrupt your dagger auto attack chain.
General
- Always use
Sharpening Stone, 
Vulture Stance, and 
One Wolf Pack immediately when they come off cooldown. The first two are instant cast so you can cast them during other skills. 
Concussion Shot can be cast for a minor DPS increase thanks to the trait 24px Twice as Vicious however it should be saved in situations where you are anticipating a breakbar to occur.

I don't think we can say "high" ramp up time, soulbeast dagger torch - shortbow have a kind of burst in opener and perform well for non organised group
