- The Sic 'Em Soulbeast is not a new archetpye to Guild Wars 2, but is rather a longstanding and robust build which in my opinion is capable of working well in all game modes due to its versatility and sheer power.
Build:
1 Valkyrie Accessory and Amulet, the Rest Berserker Pack Runes
Greatsword Force/Cleansing Longbow Celerity/Cleansing
Smokescale, Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

Man gotta give you props on going through the talents you picked. Everyone seems to go through every single talent when all I want to hear about is why you picked the one you picked. I can read, I don't need people to read them to me, I need them to explain their opinion to me why they feel that one has greater benefits than the others. The video was direct, to the point without wasting my time.
This is something I notice much of the content creators lack. For as little the content community is, we need more that answers why and how.
These guides are godtier and probably the best gw2 content pumped on youtube since vanilla. Never stop doing them / updating them !
"if you're insecure about the size of your dps meter" I'm listening 😂
I’ve been running a similar build and just when I started to branch out the ranger buff drops and I go back into optimization mode. Thanks for the deep dive. I’m excited to integrate what you’ve shared!
These are so awesome! Thanks a ton! I am eagerly awaiting Engi!
this was great content mate. even though it was a 'longer' video, i felt most of your points were pretty succinct and I learned a ton from watching. I especially liked the commentary after you explained the build while you were running through fractals and pvp etc
Thank you, I reentered the game and your Guide is perfect. Nice starting point.
Big brain on the wvw build quick draw is just so nice. And giga brain on the taunt trait, need to try that asap!
Thank you for this guide. I was pretty close on the build, but your tips on gear and talents helped bump up my game. I had no clue about the sic 'em affecting you as a soulbeast, that just made my day haha. And I felt the pain of that last clip falling off of the cliff. I did that just two days ago lol.
Man i like your build and your guide... Thank you so much i have been searching for good Ranger build and you provide one that i like...
I started to play more my rangger and man... This helped me a lot to understand the use of this lovely profession on different game modes 💚
Hope to see videos for other professions as well! It was great.
I'm French and don't understand everything but I follow you, thank you for your builds and your explanations :)
I assume you say this because English isn't your first language and you need to know that you write English better than most Americans can write or speak it
Thank you Vallun loved the vid, subbed right after ^^
Dude, your PVP Build change my Ranked. 10-2 untill the moment. Big thx to you.
Nice, can’t wait for necro and guard!
Thank you so much for this!!
I do a sort of marauders/diviner’s more boon-share version of this and agree it works very nicely. I didn’t think to use skirmishing instead of marksmanship though.
I play a Power-Sic’ Em-Soulbeast (Beastmaster/Marksmanship/Soulbeast) on my Main, and I play it for open world fun rather than going pure optimization, but it’s still one of my favourite + most effective builds that I play. I’m a Sylvari wielding Caladbolg and Leaf of Kudzu, upgrading to Kudzu once I have all of the legendary components of course.
Almost finished leveling a ranger, thanks for this!
Amazing build! I will be running this day one tomorrow for the Steam release! XD
This makes me return to the game, and by the looks of it, it's even better now... at least the way you describe it:). Thank you very much for that!
Actually, I change my mind. GW2 is not a game now, it's a reality, where all that matters is efficiency. No thank you, I'm going back to my single player worlds. At least there's SOME beauty there.
@Sacre No argument there. However, it IS a MMORPG. Too much efficiency focus, too few fantasy and roleplaying. I don't blame the game, it's just... well, pity that I apparently came back too late.
Really useful video, thanks! :)
Hey just wanted to say that i played gw2 when the game came out but i started to play recently from a long time and your character guides are helping me a lot retaking the fun ingame.
Thx a lot.
Me as well very good builds imo.
While I didn't exactly copy this build, It did remind me to revisit my SB's gear and move stuff around to get back in line with the berserker meta meme.
Thank you so much for explaining WHY you want X, or to do Y.
Great guide. I'm new to the game so this helps a ton :D
Nice
Thank you! this is AMAZING
these vids are heaven
I just start playing gw2. I found your video is helpful. It make ranger more interesting to play.
Same ;)
NGL your play on Soulbeast is pretty insane as IMO it can be one of the harder spec to play and mix with all of that it does do which can fly over the head of some of us... Loved this guide and keep them up gonna watch them all lol.
Overall nice build, funny to see this build in 100cm as fractal player but it still would be good enough there. Subbed
thank you for sharing
Love the guide, new player to GW2 and i will be looking to run this build. What race did you choose? It looks great!
Two pets by far you want are the Rock Gazelle and Jacaranda, I tried the smokescale and half the time the invisibility I could not pull off (as you have to be able to swoop out of the smokescreen just in right time and in right area), or it just took too much timing and coordination and was kind of a pain in the ass, when I could just tap 3 on my bow and go cloak and do a combo already. The Rock Gazelle is so key for PvP and WvW because you can charge 1200 with him in combo with your swoop on your sword means you will pass a lot of ground and his launch is so good when finishing someone when down so he can't block your finish if your stability is on CD, and to top it he is ferocious, so you can do awesome damage with the sic em combo while merged. The Jacaranda is an obvious choice as it can wipe the entire enemy team on a point if they are bunched together or in a downed state or ressing someone down, they will all die by the lightning that is OP and very impressive. The utility heals and additional lighting strike make this supportive pet as my 2cnd choice and it is always nice to have a range pet in the mix, trust me! I don't like riding with 2 melee pets, it can suck in some situations. I was tempted with the spiders, the wolf, and the smokescale, but how can you can compete with Gazelle and Jacaranda?
Can't wait for the warrior :)
Thanks for this!
ASMR of tutorials builds
By watching your video…i bought a nice cape skin a bow and a gs skin and i just started play archer 😂 ty
I love your videos, so much better than snowcrow jargon. Awesome stuff man !!!!!
Big thanks, was looking for a decent off spec for my druid.
Omigod, I stopped lvling my druid halfway through. _I can't use it at all_ 😭😭😭
Literally still using my basic ranger build in HoT
The only thing that I HATE in power ranger's builds is the 5th skill of the axe (Whirling Defense)! I think that, as the name suggests, it's a defensive skill, and isn't suposed to have that much burst potencial, besides that, its so unconfortable to use, you stay still, vulnerable, takes so long and the skill cancel if you move. That build with GS/LB is a dream to almost every ranger (including me) wishes for this build (GS/LB) to be meta, at least, we can have that in casual plays and PvP/WvW, thanks for your build, let's make Anet make a good "Power Ranger" without Whirling Defense please!
You are beastt !!
Fantastic! Ty
every single one of these class videos are so god damn well made!
I am using rock gazelle and raven as mu pets for this build, and it's amazing. I have 100% uptime quickness also. It's so good lol
Vallun has the best GW2 content.
I'm new to GW2 was wondering have you tried the spider merge? 2 really good cc's and poison
I spec'd into druid in the beginning and now I dont have the hero points to spec into Soulbeast just yet. I wish you could respec the elite specialization. Thank you for the guide.
Where did you get that armor ?
Looks awesome !!
with recent changes, any modification you'd recommend doing to the build, Vallun? Still loving this build and wanna keep playing it
Thank you for this video I'm trying to find a nice class to play as a main in pvp this one looks like fun! Does size of your character matter for your ranged attacks? My little asura seems to be hitting alot of "obstructed" even when there's not even a hill in the way, just a very little bump of grass seems to be enough in wvw :D
it shouldnt but i know asuras gave a lower default camera
Yes! This happens with my asura too! It can suck sometimes but I tend to kit anyway so it doesn't last long.
Thanks
41:16 quick question. How did you manage to follow the thief’s direction with rapid fire when they ported next to you then behind you? My rapid fire always gets cancelled and goes on a mini cooldown when they try to get behind me. Is there some kind of hotkey toggle to enable this? I see that your were almost tracking as they maneuvered around you. Thank you.
let go of your right mouse button and some skills will autofire at the target
@@Vallun thank you!
Will the daggers work in this build instead of the gs?
What's your recommended spell line up from left to right? Just curious. Thanks!
Nice build! I’ve been watching ranger vids lately which has caused me to start reminiscing about my ranger as it was in the early days of wvw. I ran something people called a regen roaming ranger build. I wonder if it’s possible recreate something like this in today’s version of the game?
go wilderness survival and beast mastery and get lots of protection and use command skills with the trait that gives regeneration with them
@@Vallun I’ve tried a couple of stat combos but can’t figure out what types of armor I need I guess. I hit like a wet noodle lol
And thanks for the reply, btw.
Anything changed in the pvp build for this since this video was posted?
I've been looking for a ranger build that is using a long bow for a long time because that's what archers are?
THANKS SO MUCH
Hello my friend, I am returning player, so i have lost quite a lot of knowledge and mechanic skill. I even watched your other videos/guides :)
I was debating myself between soulbest/necromancer (reaper/scourge) and I still have to reach the asnwer.
I tried your build, its amazing, but how do you keep your self alive/sustain?
I tried to stay merged, but its not easy to jump around and evade but also deal dmg (at my level at least xd)
Maybe until I re-learn the game i should stick with necro for a bit...
will you be doing one of these for warriors?
I finally got both pets! Smokescale and electric wyvern. But I’m not sure when I should be swapping between them… any advice?
i use this already, except yer 7 utility (idk what stance that is, im still new) i replace with quickness and OMG my dps is crazy but survival is weak. i just started PoF and im having a hard time early on. im in full exotic and willing to take any tips.....
nice ending^^
nice build
Two questions:
1. Can i swap long bow instead of short?
2. Is there any diffrent option of pets instead of smokescale/siamoth?
Thanks, new in game.
I'm wondering about infusion slots in jewelery what should i put ?
thanks for build guide
Does the pve build stand a chance against expansion hero points? Solo that is? More specifically the HoT bosses.
What build works best against core necro and condi rev?
Any updates to this build with the current meta or keeping in mind the changes next patch?
What are your video settings in game? This video looks gorgeous!
coughdx12cough
Hey what if i run double axe instead of longsword? i rather to play that cus i dont like so much longsword
Great video! How do you get that longsword and longbow? I love them
Is Greatsword so much better than for example dagger/axe? The dagger leap that gives quickness into axe tornado with sicem+ult on is crazy damage as well plus u can go dagger jump for quickness into longbow rapid fire or is the basic greatsword combo just better?
dagger axe is literally just damage and a small leap, greatsword is damage mobilility blocks and cc
@@Vallun That's a good point yea just wish I had a good class to use my Incinerator on feels like besides Thief which I dont like there arent many good Dagger classes? But thanks for the reply Vallun I really appreciate your guides theyve been really helpfull since I had like a 6 year break from this game
Also don't remember if you covered skirmishing tratiline other than you start the fight 'behind the boss.' It's only good if you can flank your target so in open world you should swap it out for what? Marksmanship? Or is it still worthwhile to go skirmishing even though you miss out on the behind/flank bonus?
that one trait isn't everything. still better to go skirmishing even if you dont get the flank always
Will you make a warrior one?
Hello threre, maybe a dumb question but is this build doable for a new player? just started one week a go and used a boost..
Any idea when is the next expansion sale?
Where does wordly impact come from i dont see it under long bow skills?
just started the game. i like sword and axe build xd
Sigil of Force is a pretty terrible sigil outside of a PvE setting, aside from that the WvW build isn't bad though condi clear will not be plentiful. Trading off skirmishing for wilderness survival offers a lot more sustain whilst still retaining extremely potent burst.
Nice
what relic should we be running for wvw+pve and pvp?
what if I merge with the pet and than transform into a werebeast? (the Norn racial ability). Do I get all the boosts?
Is this guide still valid 2 years later or has gear changed since then?
@Vallun the equipment (gear) is the same for WvW and PvE ?
Yes, that's the whole point of this series xD
Are you playing human or sylvari there?
This is just a noob question, but would Axe/Axe be a decent alternative to Longbow? also, been using this build for a while now and i love it.
yup axe axe is fine too, but a lot of people find longbow easier to use
@@Vallun Thanks.
Linking the builds on a good build website would have been helpful.
love builds liek dis
Can you do fractals with this build? i rally like lb/gs combo over the axe condi build
i show doing fractals in the video
Hi fairly new here in GW2 great video Vallun, would you mind explaining how you manage to keep your health up so easily please.
Regards Peter
using the long range of the longbow i prevent taking damage
@@Vallun thanks Vallun ,look im very slow on the keyboard , so would I be better with the wvw build . Power survival on guild jen ? with the rune of durability? any help appreciated . Regards Peter
@@oridpeter2595 yes the one with wilderness survival and durability is much tankier and forgiving
Can i also use this build for raids?
Will this hold up in raids?
I have yet to do raids, and I don't want to get booted for not having some "meta" build.
I've been using this in Fractals, and without all the might infusions, I'm around or above 10K, so thank you for that!
raids are very specific whereas this build is general. You should be fine if its a casual run though
wow nic any build for renegade pls :)
Would've loved to see the DPS through arcdps while doing cm 100. Looking for a new class/build and would like to compare my current class to others in a real-world scenario. not fighting against a static golem.
Cheers
could you suggest this kinda build for a "gaming beginner" (like my 8yo daughter^^) ? should we make some changes to reduce the required intake to play the build ? she is still getting used to wasd+mouse and stuff, but wants to play soulbeast with her dad^^
this build is good for beginners, but instead of taking the greatsword trait in beastmastery you could take the one that heals your pet (you while merged) and you could just stay merged the entire time for a bit more sustain.
@@Vallun that Sounds realy good, thanks so much! Gonna tryn it (hopefully) today:)
Love your content!
Can I use full zerker gear?
I really wish people would make build videos on non ascended gear.
why? it would literally be the same stats
