使用说明 Usage

Elite specialization basics

• Soulbeast allows Rangers to meld with their pet, becoming one. This is done through which has a 10s CD.

• Pet swapping is disabled while in combat.
  • Hawk is the pet you'll be using in combat.
  • Wolf is only used to avoid getting stomped while downed, as Soulbeasts can still swap pets in the downed state. Wolf has 2 CCs - 1 right after you swap to this pet, and another on the F2 ability (which you're also able to use even if the UI isn't there)。
  • Traits related to swapping pets now activate upon entering/leaving 。

• Pet related traits and skills such as continue to function even while merged, but this time you'll be the one who benefits from them, not the pet (although sometimes the effects are lessened)。

• Melding with a dead pet and then exiting Beastmode instantly revives them.

General

• makes your toolkit way more flexible by significantly reducing the CD of the first skill you use after swapping weapons, allowing you to better adapt to situations. There are a lot of ways to use this trait, here are a few ideas:
  • On short bow you should either open with ：burst damage (this is the most common), if you need sustain (evade attacks), or if you want more CC.
  • On dagger/dagger usually can't go wrong with a opener as this skill has both good damage and a lengthy evade frame for general survival. If you're not in melee range and don't need to evade anything, go with either 或 。

机动性

• Maintain permanent Swiftness with 和 。
  • Turn around before using Quick Shot in order to move "forward".

• is your best mobility skill for disengaging/gap closeing or just general roaming.

Damage

• This is fairly straightforward, your burst damage comes from short bow while dagger/dagger is slightly more defensive but still brings decent pressure to the table.

• On bow spam as much as you can, ideally from behind. Many short bow skills have increased effectiveness when striking from behind or the sides.

• is one of your burst skills and should be used on CD. Due to the cone shape of the volley it's best used in point-blank range, right in melee to ensure that all the arrows hit the target.

• should be used a few seconds before entering a fight, preferably while merged with your pet. This gives you a buff that makes your next 3 attacks inflict Bleeding while the skill continues to recharge. Doing this without merging basically has the same effect except your pet will gain the buff, and pets are less reliable than players (although there are exceptions..)。

• If you're using ：the damage and not the evasion, you should first make sure your target is crippled. has the benefit of allowing you to use as the first skill after swapping weapons for synergy, while still getting the most damage out of it.

• (Hawk F2) is a spammable source of Bleeding 和 Poison： 。

生存

• Every stance in the build is defensive by nature and can be shared with allies, which you should aim to do whenever possible.

• The build doesn't have a lot of means to deal with conditions, limited mainly to 和 。

• If damage is starting to overwhelm you and you are out of CDs, just run away with and wait a little before reengaging.

• Dodging applies Protection，which also heals thanks to the trait 。

• Applying Poison steals some health from the target.

• grants Protection and as has no cast time, this can be used even while CC'd in order to survive enemy burst.
