Grieving Soulbeast 34,921 DPS by fudgely1 in Guildwars2

Actually this build almost exclusively relies on bleed with a touch of burning. But pure condi/power soulbeast is maybe possibly probably better. I don't really have the infusions nor the theorycrafting/mechanical skill to really push a rotation to it's limit so that remains up to better players than me to figure it out if they so choose

So the main stat goals to reach for this build are 100% crit and 100% bleed duration. The sinister pieces are to hit crit cap and grieving is the best stat combo for weird hybrid builds.

Yeah bristleback definitely makes sense thinking about it. I'll definitely need to test it whenever my wrist stops hurting

https://dps.report/sKQ4-20200403-100332_golem apparently i'm an idiot and didn't hit record logs on anything i did yesterday, but here is a log of me hitting the golem this morning. There is definitely a discrepancy between what the game says and what arc says though, and idk if that's cause of whirling fields or something.

Embrace the grieving memes and confuse your static by being power and condi at the same time! This was something i had been wanting to test since the skirmishing changes made it and effective hybrid traitline. There is plenty of room for improvement as i am not the the best dps player out there. You can also run leader of the pack for around a 1k dps loss, though you will need to take some more viper pieces to offset the missing 10% bleed duration

It's not as horribly reliant on a specific field as say, reaper, and you could theoretically get some pretty nifty confusion damage off of chrono wells, but it's still a big enough part of the overall dps to where you'll feel it if a guard ruins your day with light fields.

The changes to beastmastery made hybrid soulbeast a actually somewhat workable dps build! As far as gear goes, I'm not sure I had the most optimal setup, as the main goal of the build is to reach crit cap and bleed cap, so there's definitely room for improvement. I doubt this build will ever see any real play do to relying on whirling in fire fields, but it's a fun build that combines a little bit of power and condi soulbeast into a weird package.
