Just mucking around with some ideas here. I’ve always wanted a dual bow build to work and it may be viable with Soulbeast, hybrid stats seem to play into it pretty well.

Taking both bow GMs is a large investment and due to that the condition removal is not as good as I would like it to be. With Bear Stance it is not terrible, but what suggestions do you have for this setup? It’s based around interrupts primarily through PBS, Concussion Shot, Takedown, Brutal Leap and the shocking aura from Rune of Surging to proc MoC. Could possibly run Asura to take Technobabble as well. My goals with gear selection was 40% crit chance, 2k power, 1k condi damage, 20k health, 2500 armor and 300 healing power, I am pretty close but the condi removal has me second guessing.

Decent stat allocation with gear. However, I would be running double bird’s for the nice swoop gap openers since a double bow build is slow as molasses in February. Stealth is not enough. Would also drop clarion bond for stoneform trait with SOS on bar too. LR will also be a must and I’m sure you will take Doly Stance right?

Not sure if I agree with building around MOC with such low damage attacks commonly found on bows. Instead I would concentrate more on might and vuln stacking (helps both power and condi). Some of the new SoulBeast traits will also help both pow/condi.

Yeah condis could still be a prob without second skin and good protection up time or more clears.

Good work so far let us know how testing goes!

I was a ranger before shortbow had 1200m range AND after it didn’t…

Ah, I should have said that another goal was to use as few boons, just tossing ideas around for builds if the boon hate is absurd or if Spellbreaker really punishes their use. Clarion was mostly for the swiftness. I think you’re right though, SF is a good choice.

I’ll keep mucking around with this one until it becomes obvious it’s crap or I make it work
