Soulbeast

Condi DPS

• Alternate builds:
  • Single shortbow Beastmastery 33k B - Super easy build to play, just need to delay your shortbow 5 till F3 is 8s off. Otherwise spam all skills (besides heal, F1, and 3)
  • Hybrid condi/power 37.6k B - Does ~66% condi 33% power.

Power DPS

• Old Rotation videos:
  • Rock Gazelle + Longbow rotation
  • Rock Gazelle + Greatsword
  • Moa + Longbow rotation
  • Moa + Greatsword

Handkite

• HandkiteB

Druid

Heal

• Gear swaps for ascended food:
  • Magi with base trinkets - gains 15 healing power as well as precision and vitality
  • Peppermint Oil setup - if you didn't want to run the much better (but more expensive) Bountiful Maintenance Oil you can use this setup and only need to swap in 3 trinkets. Trades power for vitality and minor healing power ( Wellspring makes the gain only 40).
  • Full Harrier with sigil swap - Many sigil options that work well including Paralyzation for extra CC, Nullification for boon strip (useful on QtP), Frailty for vulnerability (though usually you run storm spirit if it's an issue), and Water or Renewal for healing as an example.
• Budget gear options - Try to use the gearing guide first or use the Chest of Experimental Armor from the legendary armor collection
  • Budget all exotic gear - Food can be replaced with Soul Pastry
