What's the Best Elite Spec for a Ranger Condi Build?

-

I’m really enjoying the Shortbow and Dagger/Dagger playstyle for my Ranger and I’m aiming to focus on Condition damage since Power builds aren’t my thing. I’m considering the Elite Spec options but want to keep things manageable since I play on a controller. I need a build with good sustain for open world content, but I’m not looking to take on champions or anything tough. Would love to hear suggestions on which Elite Spec complements a Condi build best!

All three specs have their merits, but I think Condi Soulbeast is your best bet for damage combined with sustain. If you want maximum survivability, Untamed shines there, but you’ll sacrifice some damage. Luckily, they use the same gear, so you can experiment with both and see which one you enjoy more!

If you’re leaning towards what you’ve described, Soulbeast is definitely the way to go. Also, consider running full celestial gear for better defense overall!

I’m all about Condi Soulbeast with a dagger/dagger and dagger/torch combo. It’s super user-friendly for controller play and while it might not add much to group play, it definitely has a lot of flair that I enjoy! Totally give Condi Soulbeast a shot!

I’d recommend going with Condi Soulbeast. It’s got plenty of ways to boost your Condition damage and you can easily add in some survivability options too. Druid can work for Condi builds, but it feels a bit clunky in open-world scenarios. Also, Untamed doesn’t have direct traits for Condition builds, but using the ‘Let Loose’ trait gives you quickness which can be pretty helpful solo.

I’ve had good luck with Condi Druid using Dagger/Token or Dagger/Dagger setups. It can be a fun way to play.
