In the weekend preview i tried all the new specs but there is one spec that manged to disappoint me. ofc i’m talking about the soulbeast you see everything about the soulbeast is boring the dagger skills the beast mode skills and the stances when you put the soul beast next to the holosmith you can see who was anet’s favorite son. first let’s talk about the beast mode. the concept is cool and honestly if soulbeast was in hot i probebly just say ok it’s not that bad but in pof where every class if fun and well made and you give him old and boring pet skills it’s not gonna work. so as the dagger skills honestly i can’t see the difference between soulbeast dagger and thief daggert they’re almost the same but more based on condi, for exemple the spellbreaker get his 5 skill that’s fun and uniqe so as other spell breaker skills. and finally the utility skills, the stances are so boring that the elite skills looks like an utility skill (it gives me flashbacks from the scrapper) and honestly i don’t see them being used if you gonna do the soulbeast a condi build. why would i use a skill that gives me some might and give up a trap that does 11k bleed dmg there is no point (the bear stance is alright i guess). in the end i just wanna say rewrite the abilities and give them a good buff.
