GW2. WvW Build. Power Longbow Soulbeast WvW Roaming Build. Ranger WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.
Role: Assassin 
The Power Longbow Soulbeast is an aggressive ranger build for WvW roaming. The ability to merge with your pet allows you to gain their stats as well as any bonus your pet would receive such as “Sic ‘Em!” which will grant you 25% more damage, and this along with other damage modifiers can supplement your burst combos.
Create distance when under pressure using the leaps from the melee weapon or the raven merge skill. Stealth is your main form of disengage, either from the Longbow 3 or by combining leap/blast finishers with the smoke field from your Smokescale’s F2. Once you can engage on your target, you can perform two burst combos.
Ranged Burst Combo:
- Smokescale Merge > Warhorn 4 > One Wolf Pack > “Sic ‘Em!” > Swap
- Longbow 4 > 2 > F2
Melee Burst Combo:
- Raven Merge > F1 > Raven F3 > Eternal Bond F4 > Sword 2 > Sword 3 > Smokescale F3
After performing the ranged and melee bursts, you can reenter stealth to wait for cooldowns and your next burst.
Stealth Combo:
- Unmerge > Swap to Smokescale > F2 > Sword 2/3 > Warhorn 5
The ideal rotation would be Stealth Combo > Ranged Burst > Melee Burst > Stealth Combo

For underwater pets, what would you recommend?
shark
Scholar isnt better for berserker build?
Scholar can work yes, we prefer Pack runes for the critical chance/fury
Would you still go for One Wolf Pack or run Entangle after the october 17th nerf?
For the skirmish variant yea you still use it, the nerf was necessary because it was super OP but now is just good, and theres nothing else to take instead. I use entangle on the wilderness variant.
ive done the Wilderness Survival Variant. i only got 20k-22,9k life (only with rune of vamparism) you got 28 in the video what do i miss?
During that video I was testing different combinations until I found the most optimal which is listed here. If you want more health you can use full marauder, and also remember while you merge with Raven you gain extra health as well.
Still good if I use dagger/torch like here ? : https://guildjen.com/condition-druid-build/
Not really, dagger and torch are condition weapons
Is mixing Staff and Greatsword ok? Or is Staff mainly meant to be paired with Sword/WH?
You can mix the way you want, only make sure you have the proper fury trait
For a combinations of Staff-GS or GS-Sw/W, which sigils do you suggest running for the Skirmishing variant?
Also is running the Fury trait better than running the +120 power at 30% uptime?
Spotter is necessary if not using warhorn yes
Check the builds got updated now
Hey jen ty for your all guides..
Dagger/warhorn or sword/warhorn for wvw
As the build page says, sword/warhorn
Jen in the longbow variant, can you replace the runes? Say, with Brawler?
You will lose damage but yea you can put Brawler
Would D/D also be viable in the longbow variant?
Also is it possible to join your alliance for WvW from a EU server?
I don’t think Daggers are good for this build. For the alliance we are NA. You can join but unless you transfer to any server in NA region you won’t be placed with us.
build is garbage, valluns response “just dont take fights” lol than don’t play the game….build is so weak in modern meta, can’t even bring someone below 90% hp unless you are just using it vs noobs. 90% of roaming is tanky cancer builds,
sic em sb just does dog crap dmg after the nerfs, no one dies to this build in roaming or 1v1s, dont most of u just roam with zergs and call it roaming? in cringe old mag sperg guilds that 10v1??
“Don’t take fights” means disengage + wait for burst. No need to be so angry, nobody forces you into running Vallun’s builds and you can still make your own.
mad cuz bad
