IAmNotLloydA Druid in 2021 what is this shit? Jokes aside, Deimos was a fun project, sadly with the Balance patch aproaching we werent able to get the result that was initially planned, nonetheless we want to present what we have been working on in the past.
The 10% Phase could have been better on my end, with leaving CA earlier, not using the Trap right before we are getting ported, so i have CA back to provide stability to myself and keep healing right away when he gets vulnerable.
If you play Druid in a Speedrun scene you are going to have to deal with any mechanic that one could unload on you. So on Deimos that means i am in charge of handkiting on top of the usual stuff Druids do, additionally i was a temporary tank and moved Deimos to certain spots at certain times, so the main tank can stay in meele range and not lose much DPS uptime. Doing this with next to no Toughness (1141 on my axe set, 1292 on my staff), without blocks and having no defensive skill, is a bit spicy, however it was a lot of fun figuring out how to do this properly (i definetly did not have to rez myself with my nature spirit on some tries). Some other stuff i did is applying unique conditions (torment, blind, immob, weakness, a bit chill) to help out the Holosmiths.
* marked PoV's are from a different run, due to people being either not there on the final day, didnt record, or simply werent happy with their performance.

Ngl getting through Light phase AI was more of an issue as we refused to run a healerlmao. Nonetheless i run Alls well that ends well to provide some group healing, hence i also run Gravity well instead of Moa, Well of Action for might/fury and Superspeed, Well of Senility for additional CC instead of Well of Calamity, Feedback for big reflect damage, we were just slightly short on dps of potentially getting her into a giga Reflect setup.
Anyway enjoy it!

After beating all 15 increases in difficulty i decided to attempt if i could manage beating it without killing any enemy (picking up xp). I did end up killing one of the bosses (which doesnt even drop xp lol) since it would otherwise make the later half of the game near impossible. But yeah, probably due to it still being early Access, the game doesnt seem to spawn enemies at certain points (for whatever reason) I also did abuse a reload bug slightly, but i do believe its certainly possible to do without, its simply a pain to not do it while fighting the First Boss, as it simply happens here and there and since i lost my defensive backup plan to that Enemy, i decided to deliberatly use it during one of the difficult times a bit later on.

It was a rollercoaster of compositions and is most likelty the most pug like thing in the end, as some things seemed better on paper than others but real bosses are most of the time different. None the less we were once again able to cut any Healer and minimise Boons to an amount where you dont really have room for error for an attempt to beat Power Chronomancer. Raiding with CnD was a lot of fun, frustration and some busy days, but all this was worth it looking back as i am proud of all the compositions we as guild were able to come up with on our own and not just grind someone elses work out slightly more.

This is surprisingly strong, sadly i didnt prepare properly for this, i had to get Thorn runes from WvW as well as i do not have 2 Doom sigils (as i never imagined i would need this setup for the Beta)
Rotation: Importan to note is that you want to use a Vipers nest between every Hammer 3 and alternate your Hammer5 and Spores to help reset the remaining bit of cooldown, fill gaps with Hammer2 & 4 Avoid auto attacking as much as possible. Obviously spam F1 as it applies poison and F3 for Power damage and getting rid of Sharpening stones stacks quicker.

This kill is actually pretty bad in terms of showcasing to bait shackles as i only get one of the two that we bring out before he phases to 10%, due to me having the second bomb, which sadly also lines up with Banner timing, which i usually recast while im bringing out the shackles. That aside its still a nice kill.
As Berserker i taged one of the messenger before going into my second green, as well as the one we intentionally spawn during the Soulsplit for some additional Epi bounce on the scourges. On top of that i brought a Banner of Tactics, as the value the Scrappers gain from that concentration is pretty equal to what i lose and it allows for slightly better overall boon uptime in general (Boons from Renegades, Scourges, Elite Banner).

This is nowhere near easy to pull off like this, it takes practice and muscle memory!
It is really tight timing wise, the basic idea behind this Rotation is to have other stuff hit during the Animations that dont do any hits (Worldy Impact, Rapid Fire windpup, Path of scars delay after weapon swap) Frost Trap is a really weak skill if you want to optimise the amount of OWP hits, same goes for Worldly Impact, thats why i casted Frost Trap before activating OWP. Ontop of that i used Point Blank Shot to cancel some of the aftercast of Frost trap, Hunters Shot was used to cancel some aftercast of the OWP cast itself.
The log is pretty long as i forgot to respawn the golem to finally get the log at first. Log: https://dps.report/L7s5-20210327-141209_golem Music: youtube.com/watch?v=pin0OoB-EM4[CnD] Boneskinner - 0:22 | SoulbeastIAmNotLloyd2021-01-21 | Now Thats alot of Damage.
when we first started with this i anticipated Soulbeast to be strong, but i definetly did not expect to see such numbers.
[ontop of what we precasted]
I usually did swap food (use heal gain Power) right before we started using Spirit Nova`s but it was not too common that we got an early breakbar so this one kinda got me by surprise and i didnt swap it at all this time. The Important part to get this time was to get him to cast his Breakbar as soon as possible so we can start using the Spirit Nova earlier as the cast of the third Spirit Nova was what was limiting our Timer. Thank god Soulbeast can Burst really good even without Sic Em! and due to that we were able to get an early Breakbar and after that it was simply pressing the Spirit Nova and Maul, to amplify it even more. (The Berserker casted his Charge as late as possible so it wont get wasted on the Maul)
You can prestack OWP enough so it lasts for the entire fight, but owp can eat up buffs that would go to the Spirit Nova and after we start casting the Spirit Nova OWP doesnt matter anymore.
log: https://dps.report/Zexm-20210118-211424_bone music: youtube.com/watch?v=iLBBRuVDOo4[CnD] Samarog - 3:00 SoulbeastIAmNotLloyd2020-12-19 | Yes i do a lot of DPS on this Record, but it would'nt be possible if the Warriors would'nt carry my downtime as well as synergise worse with OWP than the usual dps classes (weaver, DH, DD, Holo) Not only do they not use OWP to an extend other classes would, ontop of that a lot more of it would get wasted into breakbars, Invuln phases or the Human in the Split phase.
At first Phase timings were really really great for Soulbeast fitting a perfect Sic Em! loop every second Breakbar, but as we got faster i sometimes had to either precast some things or Delay stuff like the Worldy Impacts for after the Breakbars while Sic Em! is still barely active, as well as me having to interrupt Rapid Fire's early so the cooldown starts earlier leading to it actually being ready for when i need it in the next Sic Em!.
The Splits are pretty simple, i wasnt allowed to use axe4 as i needed it to pull the Human back out
The Frost Spirit. The Frost Spirit was a bit tricky in this kill. I precasted it while we blast stealth so it loses some health in advance and it dies around 70% and the buff stays 3 more seconds to around when we phase him, with this preperation the Spirit comes off cooldown just as we go to Guldhem. This time i placed the Spirit in a spot where it covers Guldhem as well as barely Samarog in the next Main Phase, for the Spirit to survive the next Main Phase the Renegade Placed his Breakrazor's Bastion in a way it only Covers the Spirit to make sure it gains all the healing from it, making it aplly the buff a total of around 55 seconds which covers the Split Phase and the Main Phase if it does not last too long (sadly this one was a bit too slow) and it dies at around 40% to simply repeat the same thing in the Second Split and Third Phase.
I Auto attack Spears in downtime simply as habit to apply lifesteal to heal some more against the aura tick and definetly not drop below scholar or maybe even regain it, or cleave nearby spears with my Barrage or Path of Scars to keep the Area around us cleaner, as some spears in certain locations could be problematic in the Split Phase or for our Tanking.
Sadly getting the Friend mechanic in the second split screwed my weapon swap cooldown throughout that Split and the Third Phase, so in an ideal Attempt for myself i probably could have ended on 19.5k or more Boss dps. I did not run an Air sigil as it can easily get wasted into his Breakbar on the other Hand Hydromancy gains more Value as i can not deal dmg During Breakbars.
I do run Force/Impact on Both weapon sets, due to my weird rotation.
It is a rather unusual opener, as i do not have a Frost trap i tested around on how i can optimise OWP in my opening burst and with this rotation i managed to get 32 hits in this kill and a maximum of 33 hits on the Golem. Phase timings are actually really bad for Power Soulbeast as the phase ends when my next Burst would start, but the split phases are too short so i could do an entire burst there each time. Each Phase and split phase is different Rotation wise. P1 i stayed on Dagger/axe to be able to start the split with an axe5 and swap to Longbow. This was to prepare for my Phase 2 so i can Burst immediatly and get my Sic em on cooldown as soon as possible, this allowed me to help out the Chrono and Dragonhunter with their add some as they were slower than us. I needed to start Phase 2 off with an immediate burst so i will have my Sic em back off cooldown for the start of the second split phase and swapped back to Longbow in P2 (had to cancel Rapid Fire early to have it ready when the split starts). Since i delayed my Burst in Phase 3 i was able to do an entire Sic em burst in the second split phase and thanks to that the warrior was no longer needed for its Dmg and he went to help out the Chrono + DH adds from the start. Phase 3 i delayed my Burst to line up more with the late signet from the Guardians.
