Your goal is to create windows of burst through {{Trait|Let Loose}}, which gives both {{Tooltip|Might}} and {{Tooltip|Quickness}} when you use an Unleashed Ambush, which you're going to use twice per weapon swap. This is possible because this trait resets the cooldown of Unleashed Ambushes when you weapon swap.

The general idea is to have the pet unleashed, send it to attack the enemy with {{Skill|Venomous Outburst}}, then use {{Skill|Unleash Ranger}} to unleash yourself and use your Unleashed Ambush. With axe that's {{Skill|Sundering Volley}} and with hammer that's {{Skill|Relentless Whirl}}. Then, use your weapon skills. When weapon swap is almost ready, Unleash Pet then Unleash Ranger and use your Unleashed Ambush. Then, weapon swap and use once more your Unleashed Ambush. In summary, you start and finish each weapon swap with your Unleashed Ambush.

Your goal is to use your Unleashed Ambush at the start and end of each weapon swap rotation. With sword your Unleashed Ambush is {{Skill|Deft Strike}}, and with hammer it's {{Skill|Relentless Whirl}}.

Thanks to {{Trait|Let Loose}} resetting the cooldown of the Unleashed Ambush, you can use them twice per weapon swap rotation.
  
 
You want to spend as little time as possible with your pet unleashed because you lose the damage bonus of {{Trait|Vow of the Untamed}}. Use that little time to cast your pet's F1,2,3 skills, then Unleash Ranger again.

Usage

You have control over your pet's attacks. Set to auto cast with control+mouse 2 the skills that focus on doing damage, and leave on manual control the skills that focus on utility or crowd control so you can use them when needed.

The trait Let Loose provides some quickness quickness to nearby allies. Together with Enhancing Impact, you achieve permanent self-quickness.

Your goal is to use your Unleashed Ambush at the start and end of each weapon swap rotation. With sword your Unleashed Ambush is Deft Strike, and with hammer it's Relentless Whirl. Both of them inflict crowd control so they (as well as Path of Scars will also trigger Enhancing Impact. Thanks to Let Loose resetting the cooldown of the Unleashed Ambush, you can use them twice per weapon swap rotation.

You want to spend as little time as possible with your pet unleashed because you lose the damage bonus of Vow of the Untamed. Use that little time to cast your pet's F1,2,3 skills, then Unleash Ranger again.

A general rotation regardless of weapon goes as follows:

  1. Start with the pet unleashed. Send the pet to attack with Venomous Outburst and use Unleash Ranger.
  2. Unleashed Ambush Deft Strike or Relentless Whirl.
  3. Use all your weapon skills.
  4. When weapon swap is almost ready, use Unleash Pet and cast whatever F1,2,3 skills are ready, and Unleash Ranger.
  5. Unleashed Ambush Deft Strike or Relentless Whirl
  6. Weapon swap Weapon swap and repeat from step 2

When executed properly, this will provide you with permanent quickness for yourself, and some quickness to nearby allies.

Defense and sustain

  • Unleashed Ambush heal you a little thanks to Natural Fortitude.
  • If a big attack is coming and you can't avoid it, use Unleash Pet to reduce incoming damage thanks to Vow of the Untamed.
  • Block projectiles with Enveloping Haze or reflect them with Whirling Defense.

Crowd control

  • Path of Scars
  • Overbearing Smash (when the pet is unleashed)
  • Thump (untamed) (when the pet is unleashed)

Although this is not an easy build to play, untamed can be a monster in open world. With permanent quickness and quite a bit of sustain from ambushes life steal and the relic, this build is really good once mastered.
4 stars
MagicAndrej gave this build 4 stars • February 2024
While this build is a fun and viable build for untamed if that's what you're wanting in OW, it still feels super unmatched by Condi/Power Soulbeast and Condition Druid. It still feels like you have to put a lot of effort into this build without a lot of pay-out, especially with some of the trait play (Quickness etc) especially when trying to utilise hammer. Hammer feels perfect when you're able to swap out skills (Unleashed/Not Unleashed) on other classes. But it just falls off heavily having to try and manage your rotation and if you slip up you lose out on quite a bit.
