Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Power Soulbeast is a strong Damage dealer using 野兽形态 图标野兽形态 to empower itself from its pet with many bonuses such as 宠物威勇 图标宠物威勇 and 兽群头领 图标兽群头领.

Paired with strong modifiers, Mace will offer high melee spike while Spear will give more Range including freedom to move around and generate Downs.

野兽形态 图标野兽形态 skills deal great Damage, but also provide us with one of the best Crowd Control skills - 准备拉拽 图标准备拉拽.

Dealing Damage

Merging

Stay merged at all times with your pets. Always start the fight merged with Sky-Chak Striker and use 永恒联结 图标永恒联结 to swap between your two merged pets.

Start on Spear to look for early Damage with a Ranged Spike on the first clash while staying safe.

On the Well of Corruption Spike, gap close and instantly swap to your Maces to follow up. Your goal will be to reset all your active Cooldowns by reaching five stacks of Nature's Strength to trigger Force of Nature as fast as possible.

All your 野兽形态 图标野兽形态 skills can be used as fillers while waiting for your Mace skills to come back off Cooldown or for the next Well of Corruption Spike.

Once you are done completing your Mace rotation, you can swap back to Spear and keep dealing sustained Damage.

Use 黑豹窥伺 图标黑豹窥伺 for 鸱枭群翔 图标鸱枭群翔 and 蜘蛛网张 图标蜘蛛网张 as they are both Unblockable and our best bet for Damage.

猫鼬狂乱 图标猫鼬狂乱 and 战爪进攻 图标战爪进攻 can safely be used without being empowered anytime you are in Range.

Rotation Notes

When merged with Raptor Swiftwing, use 蜥蜴之力 图标蜥蜴之力 as the first and last skill as it shares the same Cooldown as 永恒联结 图标永恒联结.

You can prestack Nature's Strength doing Auto Attack Chains on doors and hostile NPCs in order to have a smoother Mace rotation.

Defense

石牦牛姿态 图标石牦牛姿态 is a fantastic defense skill and has a variety of effects:

  • The only Stun Break on this build.
  • It provides Stability.
  • 33% Damage Reduction on both Power and Condition Damage.
  • It removes and negates all upcoming applications of impairing conditions for its entire duration.

Consider playing safer when 石牦牛姿态 图标石牦牛姿态 on Cooldown and try making good use of it on important timings.

熊灵姿态 图标熊灵姿态 provides consistent Healing and passive Condition Removal to help us survive after heavy pressure.

自然精魂 图标自然精魂 is a strong elite skill with a long Cooldown. It must be used thoughtfully to turn the outcome of a fight by Reviving up to five Downed allies. Due to its long cast time, you can consider using your Stow Weapon keybind if you changed your mind and want to cancel the cast.
