Guild Wars 2

Unflinching Fortitude: Take no dmg for 4s , remove chill cripple and immob , Break Stun , with 2 leap finishers one being an aoe knockdown on a 20s cooldown.

Smokescale: Smoke assault , knockdown on 20s cooldown

These 2 pets alone with Soulbeast will be pretty strong in terms of cc capability and dmg mitigation.

Now pair this with what appears to be a 5sec invuln from lesser stone signet trait (2 secs in live?) , 6sec stone signet utility , Dolyak stance with 6 sec invuln to movement conditions and 6stacks of stab alongside rampage as one.

This could be some good stuff for soulbeast, really can’t wait to test everything in a few weeks..

There is going to be a few good options with pets with SoulBeast.
I’m currently looking at Alpine Wolf, Owl and Black Bear

Black Bear gains the 4sec Unflinching Fortitude but also carriers 3 seconds of Defy Pain.

Owl on the other hand looks like it can bring a second Heal with AoE resistance(long CD though) and a 1200 Leap finisher. With enough boon duration, Birds also carry perma swiftness by themselves which is always a factor for my builds.

Birds in general will see a lot more play with SB.

Im unsure about the Versatile pets. More than likely they will be primarily slotted for builds that need boon duration. Raven is a good choice there or maybe Electric Wyvern if you do not get rooted to the ground with Wing Buffet.

Currently looking at the ice drake + Jaccuranda myself. The two together should let me be pretty glassy and deal heavy damage while having some nice fall backs when im feeling the pressure.
