Right now i am playing with marauder and nature/wilderness/soulbeast got Empathic Bond,Second Skin with gs and d/d just cause they are new with groot pet for heals and ressistance and alpine wolf cause it got `knock down and stunbreak still using We Heal As One,Strength of the Pack got moa stance for the protection and dolyak for the stunbreak and stab that dont work atm and i think it works really good against condis dont know how it is against power but i think it will be ok also tryed old build that i used to play with sb/gs moc the dazes and its alsome so far tryed those 2 builds cause i dont like condis that much but they work fine for 1v1 idk how they are in a group tho
I dont think that Empathic Bond is useful tbh… 1 sec less of 10 stacks bleeding wont help u much … and i dont think it works in beastmode??!
The Bear stance is (our quite decent) new condi cleanse but the problem that arises is the lack of swiftness if you equip this heal. Also beastmode F2 or F3 (don’t remember) has some condi cleanse with Jacaranda. The fury trait is pretty good however.
As u said, u loose the swiftness, but heal as one also doubles your boons while in beastmode ( u count as pet!) which is pretty dope
Thats the reason i use jacaranda aka condi blaze it
Hello everyone!
So I was playing last night and today with our new e-spec and came up with a build I think is currently the best one, but still not as good as druid or the other new specs… Keep in mind that this is my opinion and that things can change! (also for other classes)
Here it is
Nature Magic: Top Top Mid
Beastmaster: Bot Mid Mid
Soulbeast Top Top (all Grandmasters are Trash) Top/Bottom
Pets
Smokescale
Jacaranda
Weapons and Sigils
Greatsword – Energy + Cleansing (maybe u want to take something more offensive here like Battle)
Longbow – Annulment and Agility
Skills
Heal as one – Signet of Stone – Protect Me – Dolyak Stance/Maybe Signet of Renewal( while its bugged take something else that breaks stun) – Strength of the Pack
Amulet
Paladins
Rune
Leadership ( I wanted something with Boon Duration here)
Other Choice Might be: Herold
Information
In my Opinion the strength of the SOulbeast lies within its Boon Sharing, thats why I took Nature Magic Trait Line aswell. Greatsword seems to fit Beastmode best. Hitting Maul causes your next attack to do 50% more dmg. Combine that with your new f3 when you are in smokescale beastmode.
Weaknesses
Boon Corruption/Stealing – CURRENTLY Scourge and Spellbreaker just rek u ( Let’s wait till Launch tho)
Condis – I dont know why Soulbeast has no Condi Cleanse, does Anet want us to play Wilderness Survival Traitline ?? (Which is just a bad traitline despite Protection + Healing)
Suggestions/Improvements
We desperately need Condi Cleanse in Soulbeast Trait Line! Right now we got this awesome minor trait which gives us 7% more dmg when we have fury (yay!!) – maybe add another effect like: whenever you gain fury, you loose 2 conditions ( just anything) OR change our really usefull Grandmaster Traits to give us Condi Cleanse when entering Beastmode or gaining boons like Stability, Fury and Resistance.
Dagger Main Hand is just bad. The Damage is just too low compared to GS.
What do u guys think? Have u found a better build and like to share it ? Any Improvements, suggestions for this one?
EDIT: NEW BUILD!!!
WS Top Bot Mid
Nature Magic Mid Top Mid
Soulbeast Top Top Bot/Top
Menders Amulet
Currently Testing different runes and sigils tho Longbow should be Annulment and Agility imo
Same Pets and Weapons as above
Utility: Troll, Signet of Stone, Lightning reflexes, X (Dolyak Stance, Moa Stance, Signet of Renewal), Strength of the Pack
Hint: When u are in Beastmode and use Longbow 3, you gain Swiftness…
Have Fun Testing

Hello everyone!
Thanks to the recent change to signet of renewal, we are finally able to play a condi druid build. Somehow at least. To make it clear, this build is not better than the bunker druid but you can play it without feeling completely useless. Lets get right into it:
Weapons
Sword – Dagger: I just love this combo, the dodges omg → Energy and Doom Sigil
Axe – Torch: I would love to play shortbow but the dmg output of sb is pretty bad and u need to flank to do decent dmg, which might work in teamfights, but not in 1n1. → Doom and Courage/Energy Sigil
Amulett
Sage: We wanna have that healing power!
Rune
Lynx (dat movementspeed <3)
Adventure: will make u a dodge monster but u loose the 25% speed
Build
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJAsYjEqQDL2yC+rAVLW4EMnA3A4w1MsqUBA4W6MtnWixTD
HINT: You gain HP when you have Protection (ty anet). You get Protection everytime u dodge in combat (no weapon skills, the actual dodge). And you will have a lot of dodges.
Pets
Smokescale: The Smokefield is your friend, use it to disengage and stuff
Electric Wyvern: U wont have any hard CC on your weaponskills, only in avatar and with the electric wyvern in order to use the ancient seeds trait.
Skills
Signet of Stone: Classic
Lightning Reflexes: Gives Vigor and is an evade
Signet of Renewal: Massive Buff in my opinion (also for bunker druid). Passive gives u know health regeneration!
Entangle: Well, its a Wilderness Knowledge build
Gameplay/ Tips
Torch 5 is your damage skill, try to combine it with entangle. Use Lightning Reflexes wisely!!!
Last Words
As I said, this build is not better than bunker druid, definitely not, but you can have some fun in unranked and off season for sure. Please give me some feedback! What would you change? What doesnt make sense? What is better in your opinion
Enjoy
