Overview

Variant of Soulbeast - Condi DPS. This build has an extremely simple rotation which consists of spamming shortbow skills and utilities. While it deals less DPS than the dagger/torch variant, the difference is minor and it can pull ahead in fights where you may find yourself outside of melee range for extended periods of time or you mess up your rotation.

Like its cousin, it has a high ramp up time and works best on bosses without phases.

Skill Bar

Pet Variants

  • 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. Do not attempt to apply the build optimizations of other Iboga Soulbeast variants to this one.
  • Bristleback Bristleback can be used to abuse the behavior of 钉刺骤雨 图标钉刺骤雨, when used inside the hitbox of a boss with adds present, you can strike the boss with up to nine projectiles intead of the intended three. It can also be used to provide yourself with Sharpen Spines before swapping to another pet and starting the fight.
  • While Warthog Warthog provides additional breakbar damage with 蛮力冲锋 图标蛮力冲锋, bringing it is a DPS loss compared to Lynx Lynx as you already have permanent 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 uptime.

Skill Variants

Utility

Elite

  • 藤蔓缠绕 图标藤蔓缠绕 If you need the extra immobilize for a slight DPS loss, useful for encounters such as Gorseval, Escort (Wargs), and Deimos.

General Tips

  • After this, there isn't any real rotation to follow. Simply cast the skills listed above when they come off cooldown. Be sure to flank the boss as much as possible for the bonus damage from 左右开弓 图标左右开弓, 毒箭连射 图标毒箭连射, and 捕猎战术 图标捕猎战术.
  • Despite most of your kit being ranged skills, stay stacked in melee as often as possible to recieve healing and boons from the group.
  • You can also measure the initial delay of 震荡射击 图标震荡射击 by looking at 原始怒吼 图标原始怒吼's remaining cooldown, use it when 原始怒吼 图标原始怒吼 has 9-10 seconds remaining.
  • While 灵巧作战 图标灵巧作战 is useful, it is a DPS loss to dodge instead of autoattacking. You can prestack dodges at the start of phases, but should always prioritize using your dodges to avoid damage.
  • 震荡射击 图标震荡射击 is a DPS increase thanks to the trait 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体, however it may be saved in situations where you are anticipating a breakbar to occur. Be warned that this will desync your 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 procs.
    • If your 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 procs become desynced from using 震荡射击 图标震荡射击 or 原始怒吼 图标原始怒吼 too early, use the first one to come off cooldown immediatly then use the second when the 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 from the first is about to expire.
    • If your procs become desynced from using one of these skills too late, then delay casting the other skill until the 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 proc is about to expire.
