Condition Soulbeast Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Condition Soulbeast WvW Roaming Build. Ranger WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.

Role: Assassin

The Poison Soulbeast is a condition damage ranger build for WvW Roaming that has high burst damage with conditions and can disable enemies to ensure those conditions tick. While it uses trailblazer stats it still lacks the sustain to fight extended fights, so it requires mobility from the merged raven abilities to engage or disengage fights when the burst combos are ready.

When using Beast skills which are the pet F2 or the merged F3 skills, you will trigger the Beastmastery traits which can taunt enemies. Taunt is a condition that scales with your condition duration, allowing you to CC enemies for longer on this build. Timing these into your burst combos can allow you to land many poison applications and to prevent enemies from cleansing them.

Burst Combo

• Shortbow 4 > 5 > Raven Merge > F1 > F3 > 2 > Swap Pet > Swap Weapon
• Bee Merge F3 > F2 > Dagger 4 > 3 > 2 > F1 > 111

Although you want to be merged most of the time, especially when doing your burst combo, there are times when you want to unmerge with your pet. Using Signet of Renewal will cleanse yourself by pulling conditions to the pet. Also the internal cooldown of the Beast skill taunt is not shared between your merged skills and your pet only if you use the pet beast skills first. This means you can start with the Raven unmerged and send it in with the F2 to taunt, then merge and use the F3 to taunt again for an immense amount of CC.

Alternatives

• Weapon: Sword can replace main hand Dagger for more survivability and mobility but less sustained damage
• Relic: for more poison synergy but less mobility
