Overview

A power DPS build for Untamed. The playstyle is very similar to Soulbeast, but lack 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 merge and unmerge your pet for extra damage and to access ambushes means that the rotation requires speed and accuracy to perform well.

Utility

Variants

• Fanged Iboga is 200 less DPS than Tiger, but brings a little extra CC.
• Carrion Devourer is taken as it allows for burst damage on petswap to open and close phases, but the second pet could be used for utility instead.
• There are no elite skill options that offer worthwhile damage, so run whichever has the most utility.

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 F2 skill on autocast, it will also cast it while unleashed.

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

Throughout the rotation, use Exploding Spores and Frost Trap off cooldown, though weapon skills take higher priority.

Opener

1. All pet F1-3 skills
2. Exploding Spores
3. Frost Trap
4. Unleash Ranger
5. Unleashed Thump
6. Unleashed Savage Shock Wave
7. Unleashed Wild Swing
8. Relentless Whirl
9. Unleashed Overbearing Smash
10. Weapon Swap

Sword/Axe Loop

1. Path of Scars
2. Pounce
3. Serpent's Strike
4. Whirling Defense

   • At some point during this section (the sooner the better) you want to do the following:
   1. Unleash Pet
   2. Use all F1-3 skills
   3. Unleash Ranger - try to time this such that it happens at the end of the second autoattack chain, so the ambush skill doesn't interrupt it

8. Weapon Swap

Hammer Loop

1. Unleashed Wild Swing
2. Unleashed Savage Shock Wave
3. Unleashed Overbearing Smash

   3. Unleash Ranger
7. Exploding Spores
8. Relentless Whirl
