WvW Condi SoulBeast Roamer

Recommended Posts

So I'm the type of person that hates playing the meta and likes to push outside those boundaries into new play styles and skill sets. I like to toy around with fun builds, so I made this:

There are a few changes you can make on the fly, utility wise, but the combo is pretty scary when pulled off right. Once again, I know this isn't meta or maybe even the best way to play condi ranger, but I've been having a blast playing it for the past couple weeks! Tell me what you guys think?

I gota say thank you for inspiring me to also mess with condi soulbeast. I wound up going a completely different direction but had a ton of fun playing it for a few hours tonight so I figured I'd add a link.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAsYRjEqQNLWyCusAVLWSEsnAQy61l/cvuZ3mKwo7EUi4PA-jlyHQBDS9nAq8jiKB51+DK7QAAgjAgX0EMO9A/6BAAtTAApAsb0G-wIt's weird! S/D+GS doesn't look like condi but hear me out.

Stay merged with the Iboga at all times. S/D with sigil of torment/blight and Iboga F1-F3 is your main source of damage. Try to stay above 75% for refined poison 2 stacks. The 5 second CD on refined poison, sigil of torment and iboga F1 lines up well to just keep pressuring people with poison, torment and confusion every 5 seconds at 900 range despite having almost full melee weapon skills. D5 for a bit more ranged pressure.

Use F2 then F3 + beastly warden to interrupt (which procs confusion) and then the taunt keeps proccing confusion. Initially, I ran with weakness and blind on F3 for better condi overload but switched the might/healing for better sustain. Blind wasn't worth it but weakness still might be worth it. Evade/poison with S/D 2/3/4. Basically confuse and torment while running circles around people. Perma poison to prevent them from sustaining.

Rune of antitoxin gives all WS 3 condi clear instead of 2. The heal clears 6 at once. Swapping to GS clears 4. So plenty of condi clear and ~3.2k armor. On the few occasions I got spiked, eternal bond sometimes gave me enough time to swap and merge with an owl to gtfo. Otherwise, I was just always merged with an iboga.

The zerker GS is not for the damage. It's just cause I don't have an extra condi one in my inventory. Would probably be best as a Dire GS. I considered going A/D + S/Wh or shortbow but I would have died so much from lack of mobility and blocking if I didn't have the GS. This was before reset on (SBI NA tier 1 if anyone really cares). Was able to win a decent number of fights, some outnumbered too.
