Beastmode Greatsword seems interesting
Upon testing, I can confirm that Maul procs Attack of Opportunity for you while in beast mode. Maul -> Beast Skill -> Autoattack -> Maul -> Beast Skill -> Autoattack Maul -> Weapon Swap seems like it might have the potential to be quite good in terms of damage over longbow.
Also, Sic’Em effects you as well, which should be a pretty significant damage increase, and while some of the traits were nerfed, you do get some of the bonus power/precision/toughness/vitality/ferocity that your pet would normally be given from the Beastmastery minor traits while in beast mode.
Awesome! Looks like Soulbeast Shoutbow will be a thing then if Sic Em stays like that…

yea also i think the OP mention it, a trait in beastmaster which give ferocity to the pet when soulbeasted give you like 150 ferocity and 25% movement speed. So there is that, more ferocity. I hope something good turns out with soulbeast, i am no theorycrafter or anything so i am no expert.
Maul is currently consuming its own AOO on hit in beastmode. Not sure if this is how its intended to behave or not.
i noticed this as well, if i use maul and hit air i get the attack of opportunity buff, however if i hit something with maul i dont get aoo, like if it consumes itself inmediatly. makes for good combos in spvp though (prelude slash/maul with predator onslaught to one shot most glass cannon builds)

That’s pretty awesome. If that’s the case, in PvE it might actually be better to go for a remorseless build with Live Fast, then use beast skills right before Maul to guarantee the opening strike on your biggest damage dealing skill, as well as on whatever other things you happen to get it on from the party giving out fury.
Edit: Nevermind. It turns out that the F1 and F2 beast mode skills aren’t beast skills, also I forgot that even if they were, they’d proc the same opening strike that they just refreshed.

This is pretty much the only thing I like about Soulbeast atm. I hate the utility, traits, and dagger.
You guys should know of all the classes that if something isn’t intended to work in the fashion it is and it benefits rangers , then it will be nerfed and quickly nerfed.
Please do not get used to the maul AOO proc, it will most definitely be nerfed as it’s obviously a bug.

Wow, that’d be a straight upgrade for my LB / GS power ranger XD
But may have to sacrifice marksmanship entirely because giving up on WS or NM is like suicide in wvw roaming.

MM/WS/SB should be pretty good, you have a lot of invulns available from MM + SoS and SB beast skills.
a self-40% damage buff with Sic Em – this is NOT gonna last, so don’t get too used to it. I can already predict the tears.
