Warthog Hybrid Soulbeast | Benchmark 38,124 (41,548 w/ allies) | 28th November Patch

With the pet changes, Warthog now rivals bristleback for DPS. The only downside is the lower burst, but in return you get access to CC.

Hey Pip, when would you run this vs. Power or Condi Soulbeast? I see it has all vipers, so when this vs. condi Soulbeast or condi Druid for example? Thanks :)

[@PipGW2]

This build excels on fights where condi is required, but burst and/or power damage is ideal. Examples are Vale Guardian, Largos CM, Qadim 2, Matthias, Dhuum, Xera. Anywhere where condi works, this will work. Anywhere where power works, this will work. When it comes to vs condi druid, the two play very differently and it comes down to whether or not you need the burst, if you do play hybrid, otherwise condi druid.

@@PipGW2 Would it actually be better than power slb on most of these fights, aside from VG?

[@PipGW2]

@@blackdunes6087 it depends on phase timings and of course your own ability. Ending a phase between bursts is bad on both builds, but hybrid is punished less due to the conditions.

i don't get the point of those benchmark with precast + cd reset

[@PipGW2]

Everything which I precast is doable in every encounter in the game, and is not removed by the status reset. That's why it's used in the benchmark.

[@godspeed6288]

Ty for explaining@@PipGW2

[@R3vkov]

is hybrid and regular condi slb still the same now a days ? any changes ?

[@PipGW2]

Depends on when, they havent changed in a few months rotation wise.
