Soulbeast is boring
To each their own. I get where you are coming from. Some abilities and aspects are underwhelming. Hopefully, there will be some changes that might make Soulbeast more interesting to you.
Peace, and play what you find fun. I think Holosmith is pretty fun, too.
Will update once Path of Fire releases.
Basically you lose the pet and gain engineer like F skills. That’s soulbeast.
I don’t think they intended to dazzle with this one. It’s more an answer to a long-standing problem of pets sometimes being worse than useless (eg. in some dungeon content) and needing to be put away, and then rangers being kitten because of that.
Man… the combo’s u can make with you’re pets and beastmode are amazing and fun. And try a different off-hand next to the dagger like an axe.
I must agree the new Utility skills are boring and lazy.

First of all you don’t mean your pets you mean combos with your pet.
Because you have no way to switch your pet F skills in an adequate time to do any combo.
Second, the combos might be fun, especially the bugged gazelle that hits all 5 targets in one hitbox, but other than using this broken pet your combos are not really effective. (also for the gazelle pet you need no soulbeast)
Third. Axe offhand? Seriously? You run around with dagger/axe? And you’re telling me it’s amazing, fun and effective?
Soulbeast has an slightly higher overall dps than what we had previously. but only if you never enter Beastmode, unless you immediately use all 3 F skills in it and immediately leave it.
So we now have a clunky core ranger, with a new completely useless new weapon and a annoying new mechanic, that adds extra work and gives you not much reward for using it. A new mechanic that makes the pet AI upon spawning/despawning the pets everytime you enter/leave Beastmode even more useless and clueless.
The one good thing Soulbeast has atm, I admit it, is good(but not insane) burst dmg. While the power burst dmg will get almost certainly nerfed, the condi burst will probably stay or get even better.
If anet hadn’t added the new green glow around my ranger I wouldn’t believe for a moment that this is a new elite spec.
Edit: I forgot to talk about the stances. Because at least 3 out of 5 are not even worth mentioning.
