The community gave this build a rating, making it second-tier: Good
Focused on: Condition damage
Designed for: Raids and Fractals
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 and Poison damage. It is rather bursty for a condition build, so can work well even on bosses with short phases.
For an even simpler version without reliance on melee, see Soulbeast - Condi Shortbow DPS.
Skill Bar
Pet Variants
- Use Warthog instead of Lynx for Brutal Charge for more CC at a small DPS loss.
- Fanged Iboga can be taken instead of Lynx on bosses that attack frequently. See Gear Variants for the changes needed for this.
- If you have enough time to precast, you can use Bristleback and precast Sharpen Spines before the fight, then switch back to Lynx for a small DPS increase.
Weapon Variants
Condi soulbeast has a lot of viable weapon options, but you want to keep the shortbow regardless.
- Mainhand Axe could be used if you need to be at range for long periods, or if you struggle with counting auto chains.
- Torch is a more notable dps loss, but isn't too significant if you really dislike the animation lock from .

- This setup assumes you have a tier-10 Jade Bot core. If you don't have one, you would want to switch in an extra 3 Spiteful infusions, but the core is cheaper so this isn't recommended.

Usage
Beginner Rotation
For a much simpler build that camps Shortbow and is little more than pressing skills off cooldown, see Soulbeast - Condi Shortbow DPS. It is only slightly worse to run this build and camp shortbow though.
If you want to swap between the two, then use the
variant listed in the gear section.
Rotation
If you can, precast
, and dodge twice and use to stack up some .
Opener
- and during the cast of Spike Trap
- Weapon Swap
Dagger/Dagger section
The Dagger section should be opened with

- Weapon Swap
Shortbow section
You want to open and close each Shortbow section with

- Autoattack and use and when they come off cooldown
- Weapon Swap
- Return to start of Dagger section
- Try to finish your auto chains on Dagger, but if another skill comes off cooldown before you use the second skill in the chain, you should interrupt it
- off cooldown - it is instant cast
- Fill in gaps between weapon skills with , and
Axe rotation
If using mainhand Axe, the rotation is structurally very similar to Dagger:
- Open with ⇒
- Autoattack and use all weapon skills as they come off cooldown
- Weapon Swap after the third
- is a priority skill, and will interrupt the cast of other skills if you use it too soon
Torch rotation
If using offhand torch, use
in place of . Use as you reach the end of the Dagger, as and the autoattacks on Shortbow have a chance to combo with it.
General Tips
- Dodging or using
- is slightly more efficient than dodging, if you can get used to it.
gives you for four seconds. It isn't worth dodging solely for the buff, but if you have to dodge anyway then it mitigates the DPS loss.
