GUILD WARS 2: The Soulbeast - Detailed Class Guide [Path of Fire Ranger Elite Spec]

This is an up to date Guild Wars 2 guide covering everything you need to know about the Soulbeast, which is an elite specialization of the Ranger. This video shows off all of the weapons the Soulbeast can use and looks at all of the individual weapon skills. It also has a look at all of the healing, utility & elite skills the Soulbeast has at it's disposal. It then goes on to look at the elite specialization for the Soulbeast and what each individual trait does for your character. The video finishes with a short combat demonstration with a basic Soulbeast build so you can see what it looks like when it all comes together.

Feel free to post below any questions you have about the Soulbeast 😊

[@Mounthuapleb5890]

How powerful is this class compared to ele, necro, guar, engi?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

I would love to be able to give a straight answer on this but unfortunately it's not as simple as that! Any of these classes can be very powerful, depending on how you set it up! I would say that the Necro and Guardian are easier to be powerful with so better for new players but the Soulbeast is a really powerful class with very good power and condition damage builds to use 😊 it's also very fun to play with all of the different beast abilities to choose from!

[@Mounthuapleb5890]

@@HeroicFlamingo i see. I hear that soulbeast is mainly ok Dps, yet amazing healer as a druid

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Soulbeast can be a very decent DPS and you're spot on when you say that the Druid is an excellent healer 😊 the Celestial Avatar skills are all based around healing so they're perfect in a support role in a group situation 😊 if you check out my class guide playlist, I've got a video on the Druid as well for you to check out 😃

[@v1de0dr0ner]

I don't comment much, but your videos are really thorough and helpful. Subscribed. Thank you.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

That's awesome, thanks man! 😃

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Thanks man 😂

[@paperpersona1243]

For anyone seeing this later it looks like they changed the "Eternal Bond" ability to say as of 5/1/23;
"Heal when you use a merged skill. You can swap pets while merged. Healing: 616"

[@8minimal8]

thanks for these guides helped me alot to choose :)

[@itzhakeretzkdosha6875]

Great videos thanks!

[@neuro1921]

Your Videos are so helpful, thanks!.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You're very welcome 😃 just finished one for the Thief so I'll be uploading that tonight!

[@KarmasAB123]

So, I'm kind of looking to have just an archer and pet build; no casting or melee weapons. Can you play ranger with no elite spec?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You certainly can ☺️ check out my video where I just go through the base ranger
czcams.com/video/Y_pTWApiOQ0/video.html
You can go with three base specs and use a couple of ranged weapons like the longbow and shortbow 😃

[@mwicksell1]

How can I look like this? My toon is an absolute dork.

[@scottm3323]

What’s a typical weapon set up look like for soul beast?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

With the Soulbeast, you can go Dagger/Axe & Longbow for a power build and perhaps Dagger/Dagger & Shortbow for a condition build 😃

[@sebastianwilczynski86]

What a pun xD "(...) if you rely on like say like a bear pet to go in and tank them, when you attack, obviously you can't do that, so that is something to BEAR in mind (...)"

[@HeroicFlamingo]

A happy accident 😂

[@nel9429]

Is the race in the video human or Norn?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

It's a Norn ☺️

[@manuelromero8837]

When its a hit or something is being buffeted its pronounced BUH-fit

[@SD-Casual]
