weaponwh.9810 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 is condi soulbeast still consider the only viable DPS ranger build for high level fractal or raid? or I can use power build (like MM beastmastery, soulbeast or else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneQR.7412 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 For fractals i assume condi is still best dps because of the high toughness enemies you fight.In raids pure dmg should be viable although condi is still better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrury.4627 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 As a pure dps, condi is is certainly the go to in raids.In fractals PuGing, things are a bit more lenient. Well, if you're not joining a meta group. If you're joining meta groups, ignore my thoughts below.My goals with a fractal build are the same as a general PvE build: Deal decent damage, support nearby allies, and stay alive.For example, here's something I came up with:Perma Fury Stance SupportIt's no druid for support (I never liked the druid playstyle) but it's pretty decent. Keep sharing Moa stance, vulture stance, and WH5 for boon uptime. When things get dicey, merge with Fern Hound and F3. Spiritual Reprieve heals you for about 6k with traited Invigorating Bond and some AMAZING numbers for your allies. Plus resistance.I commonly swap Dolyak Stance for a spirit as needed. Stone if we're struggling to stay alive a bit, Frost if we're good.Taking Axe instead of sword is easier, just less dps and fewer evades. Personal preference.So there are some off-meta options. Just build intelligently with yourself and your potential allies in mind and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allies would heal for... (2580 1.25) + (4235 1.25) = 8519. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes power and particularly good weavers the absolute best DPS for fractals in terms of raw damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
