Ratings
Burstier than most condi builds, less spikey than most power builds. Very good all-rounder.
A very strong all rounder and reliable damage. Easy to master and bleed utilities have no animations, so can be used anytime.
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
