Variant of Soulbeast - Condi DPS. This build has an extremely simple rotation which consists of spamming shortbow skills and utilities. While it deals less DPS than the dagger/torch variant, the difference is minor and it can pull ahead in fights where you can't melee the boss or you mess up your rotation.

Like its cousin, it has a high ramp up time and works best on bosses without phases.
