are T3 beastmastery traits useless for GS Soulbeast?

[Blacksarevok.8104]

in PVE

 

all 3 seem totally useless if you are using greatsword

Errr. The quickness and superspeed on pet swap is still very solid. Being able to unmerge and gtfo is pretty useful even in pve. Or being able to quickcast a hilt bash to interupt something.

You wouldn’t use the axe trait, but what’s wrong with the other two?

 

Sorry - Didn’t see the PvE comment.

Theyre not. Super speed and quickness is good for staying melee range.

 

The taunt is bad because in beastmode merg, the taunt apply after the skill end which is pointless.

 

And axe trait isnt good, because the axe weapon it self is bad, it dosnt have any usefull defensive skill, like our other weapon, the damage is bad and wirling defense is too risky to use.

The thing is that you arent thinking outside of beast mode. Some times you will have to face a champion or extremely dangerous enemy that can one shot you. The taunt is good for those moments to unmerge and have your pet tank while you poke the enemy from behind

Except taunt doesn't work on champions. It only deals damage to their defiance bar. Taunt also doesn't immediately make enemies in pve switch targets like it does players. The monster will often just finish whatever attack it was doing when your pet taunted it, even if "interrupted" pops up over the enemy's head.

my point is, that it lets you keep your tanking pet for when you need it
