Overview

A power DPS build for Untamed. The playstyle is very similar to Soulbeast, but lacks the extreme burst power. In return, Untamed is more survivable as well as being less reliant on remaining at high health. Additionally, the strength of your pet provides a measure of consistent damage even if fight mechanics disrupt you.

The need to leash and unleash your pet for extra damage and to access ambushes means that the rotation requires speed and accuracy to perform well.

Utility

Variants

• As you are buffing your current pet throughout the rotation, there isn't a reason to switch to a second pet for damage, so you can bring a utility pet for an emergency.
• There are no elite skill options that offer worthwhile damage, so run whichever has the most utility.

Specializations

Usage

Rotation

Start with Pet unleashed. Whenever the pet is unleashed you also want to be using your F1-3 skills off cooldown. If you put your pet's F1-3 skills on autocast, it can reduce the difficulty of this rotation, but it will be more efficient to trigger them yourself. Use the following skills depending on pet:

• Jaguar - F1 and F3
• Tiger/ Fanged Iboga - F1-3
• Carrion Devourer - F2

Unleashing, and your Unleashed pet's F1-3 skills, are all instant cast so can be used during other skills.

Spear Rotation

Click to view

Ranger's spear is unique because all of its 2-5 skills have their own stealth attacks. Panther's Prowl provides stealth, and as an ammo skill you can use it frequently to access these stealth attacks. This skill also has a unique effect that allows you to use these stealth attacks even if you get revealed, though using any stealth attack will remove this effect.

Throughout the rotation, Flame Trap and Frost Trap are used to maintain Relic of the Dragonhunter uptime.

Opener

1. All pet F1-3 skills
2. Flame Trap
3. Unleash Ranger
4. Poisonous Cloud (optional, if you start on Carrion Devourer) - can use during other skills. Swap pet after it finishes.
5. Unleashed Thump
6. Relentless Whirl
7. Unleashed Savage Shock Wave
8. Unleashed Wild Swing
9. Weapon Swap

Spear Loop

1. Frost Trap
2. Panther's Prowl
3. Wolf's Onslaught
4. Falcon's Stoop

7. Predator's Ambush
8. Panther's Prowl
9. Wolf's Onslaught
10. Drake's Swipe ⇒ Wyvern's Lash ⇒ Cheetah's Strike

CC

Untamed has pretty poor access to CC, and most of the options you have are used in your rotation:

• Tail Lash (F1 on Carrion Devourer) - pet swap to use, and swap back to your other pet when you can.
• Fang Grapple (F2 on Fanged Iboga, if using).
• Predator's Ambush
• Path of Scars - the positioning during the axe loop is flexible, so you can adjust to make it line up with defiance bars, or slightly delay the weapon swap in order to get a second use in.
• Overbearing Smash and Thump (untamed) offer CC if used while the pet is unleashed, but accessing this requires rearranging your rotation and a loss of DPS.
