WilnerGW.3275 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi All;I like the boonbeast Stance build, its good for 1v1's, have good sustain, decent mobility and some support!But, whats the reason to pick this build instead of others meta choises?If i want to be the side node onwer, why would i pick a SoulBeast instead of Spellbreaker or The Mirage?Dont take me wrong, i love ranger! But, asides from the personal preference to a class, is there any strategic reason to pick this build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroSkitzo.5403 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Because you like it more than the other meta builds. Boonbeast is a side noder as well so holds its own against spb and mirage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An axe boonbeast, I’d say they’re equal. Hard to find people with exact equal skill but most on the forums will probably say mirage ultimately.

Vicariuz.1605 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Equal skill it's most likely a stalemate with neither side getting the kill. Both are 1v1 kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigo.9037 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 funny thing is my dps longbow / gs build actually beats boonbeast 1v1 on node. not by standing in circle but by kiting a little bit while still keeping them from getting the point capped.

HeadCrowned.6834 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The meta Boonbeast wins versus warrior and usually wins versus mirage as well, so its arguably the best side noder atm. Mesmer brings portal tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen.1327 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 i would say to pick boon beast over spellbreaker and mirage when the focus will be 1v1, which you can all win. guess home node can't be lost if you put a boon beast on iti have a hard time staying alive when outnumbered, classes like holo, rev, thief hit like a truck.mes is way more mobile, can take more roles. spellbreaker more sustain (at least for a while). both classes can't really be stunlocked so easily.

jewishjoyride.4693 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Mirage brings portal. Soulbeast and Holosmith both bring some utility/team support. Spellbreaker brings rampage? This is all on top of being competent at side nodding.In my opinion both Soulbeast and Holosmith are the more flexible picks here because of their ability to win 1v1s, rotate around the map quickly, and make team mates lives easier through some healing and boons.

Besides, that doesnt mean that soulbeast is not the best side noder. Every class has some form of a counter, but thats really irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
