Revision as of 22:57, 22 July 2022

The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great

Focused on: Condition damage

Designed for: Raids and Fractals

Difficulty:
TBD
This build was last updated on July 22, 2022 and is up to date for the October 8, 2024 patch.

Overview

A Hybrid DPS Soulbeast build for raids and fractals with unusually high power damage (around one third of total damage). This combines the burst of a power build with great sustained DPS, all while buffing its allies with stance share. Much like Power DPS Soulbeast, this build favors bosses that will not move out of skills such as Whirling Defense and Bonfire.

Utility


Pet Variants

  • Bristleback Bristleback allows you to abuse the behavior of Rain of Spikes (soulbeast): when used inside the hitbox of a boss with adds present, you can strike the boss with up to nine projectiles instead of the intended three. It can also be used to provide yourself with Sharpen Spines before swapping to another pet and starting the fight.
  • Warthog Warthog provides additional breakbar damage with Brutal Charge (soulbeast porcine).
  • Fanged Iboga Fanged Iboga inflicts a large amount of confusion. While your build is not optimized for this it is still a significant damage boost on Cairn, Soulless Horror, and the Twin Largos.


Skill Variants

  • Bear Stance over "We Heal As One!" in condition-heavy fights to clear conditions from yourself and your allies.

Burstier than most condi builds, less spikey than most power builds. Very good all-rounder.
5 stars
Ramsey25 gave this build 5 stars • February 2024
A very strong all rounder and reliable damage. Easy to master and bleed utilities have no animations, so can be used anytime.
5 stars
Warming Hearth gave this build 5 stars • May 2022
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
