Soulbeast...

Soulbeast is a joke right? 'Severe damage' bite doing 600 on a power build, reused and sped up animations that just look horrible, redundant and borderline useless traits, and on top of everything it's more condi for a class that's saturated with condi-related utilities and traits. The 200 power I got from merging with my per gave me about 70 damage on my longbow... 70 damage in return for losing my pet's dps, and the merged skills are simply not good enough to justify it as most do less damage than a greatsword auto attack. I don't care about what burst gimmicks can be performed as you can't maintain that damage.

So the devs just stopped caring about ranger, yeah?
