Overview
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 may find yourself outside of melee range for extended periods of time or you mess up your rotation.
Like its cousin, it has a high ramp up time and works best on bosses without phases.

General Tips

- Despite most of your kit being ranged skills, stay stacked in melee as often as possible to recieve healing and boons from the group.
- You can also measure the initial delay of by looking at 's remaining cooldown, use it when has 9-10 seconds remaining.
- While is useful, it is a DPS loss to dodge instead of autoattacking. You can prestack dodges at the start of phases, but should always prioritize using your dodges to avoid damage.
- If your procs become desynced from using or too early, use the first one to come off cooldown immediatly then use the second when the from the first is about to expire.
- If your procs become desynced from using one of these skills too late, then delay casting the other skill until the proc is about to expire.
is a DPS increase thanks to the trait , however it may be saved in situations where you are anticipating a breakbar to occur. Be warned that this will desync your procs.
Ratings
Very easy to get high dps and simple rotation. Possibly my favorite build to play in PvE.
One of the easiest DPS builds, this build is self-sufficient, pulls respectable damage numbers, and has a braindead easy rotation. A good way to get started in raids.
