Power Untamed is a power-based build for the untamed specialization that focuses on Crowd Control (CC) to reduce its cooldowns thanks to {{Trait|Fervent Force}}, and gain a bit of quickness thanks to {{Trait|Enhancing Impact}}. Because of that, this build requires a very active playstyle and some learning to do before you can ''unleash'' its full power.
+
Power Untamed is relatively difficult power build with good burst and decent DPS. While it is outclassed heavily by Power Soulbeast, it still remains a viable option for open world.

[ Pending ]
−
This section is out of date and requires considerable updates with the nerf of Fervent Force and the build's move to Ferocious Symbiosis.
 
−
 
 
−
===Set up===
 
−
The build requires a lot of button pressing to reach its true potential. In short, you are going to {{Skill|Unleash Pet}} to use CC skills, and {{Skill|Unleash Ranger}} to use damage skills. You want to use the damage skills while you are unleashed to do more damage thanks to {{Trait|Vow of the Untamed}}, and you unleash the pet to do CC because hammer only does CC when the pet is unleashed.
 
−
 
 
−
To quickly and at a glance know who is unleashed, look at your pet UI. If the pet skills are visible, like {{Skill|Smoke Cloud}}, ''you'' are unleashed, do extra damage, and can command the pet to use its skills. If the untamed pet skills are visible, like {{Skill|Venomous Outburst}}, ''your pet'' is unleashed, you take less damage, and can command the pet to use its untamed skills. Your pet doesn't actually gain any benefit from unleash, it only changes the skills you can command it to do.
 
−
 
 
−
To simplify, unleash your pet to do CC with your hammer, and unleash yourself to do damage.
 
−
 
 
−
;Hammer
 
−
Hammer is your main weapon, you can technically play 100% of the time in this weapon set. Its skills are clearly divided:
 
−
* Skills 2 {{Skill|Unleashed Wild Swing}} and 4 {{Skill|Unleashed Savage Shock Wave}} are damage skills and should be used when you are unleashed.
 
−
* Skills 3 {{Skill|Overbearing Smash}} and 5 {{Skill|Thump (untamed)}} are CC skills and should be used when your pet is unleashed and your damage skills are on cooldown.
 
−
;Axe offhand
 
−
In the axe offhand weapon set, always stay unleashed.
 
−
Skill 4 {{Skill|Path of Scars}} is a CC skill and all other axe skills are damage skills. Use {{Skill|Splitblade}} in melee range for maximum damage.
 
−
;Other sources of CC
 
−
* {{Skill|Exploding Spores}} will knock down enemies hit by ''all'' spores, so only those in the very middle. This makes it harder to CC small enemies with this skill, but it should be trivial on big enemies.
 
−
* Your pet skills also CC, but this CC does not count towards {{Trait|Fervent Force}}. With {{Tooltip|Smokescale}}, Takedown (F1). And with {{Tooltip|Rock Gazelle}}, {{Skill|Head Toss}}(F2) and Charge(F3).
 
−
 
 
−
===Quickness===
 
−
* Because of {{Trait|Enhancing Impact}}, doing CC while unleashed grants you quickness. Unfortunately, your hammer only does CC when your pet is unleashed. This leaves {{Skill|Path of Scars}} and {{Skill|Exploding Spores}} as your sources of quickness, always cast them while unleashed.
 
−
** As you master this build, know that you can start the cast of {{Skill|Overbearing Smash}} or {{Skill|Thump (untamed)}} and then very quickly Unleash youself. This way, the Crowd Control will occur while you are unleashed, and will give you {{Tooltip|Quickness}} from {{Trait|Enhancing Impact}}.
 
−
* For a build more focused on quickness, use {{Skill|Quickening Zephyr}} and {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Celerity}}.
 
−
 
 
−
===Damage===
 
−
Use the damage skills detailed above, then use your CC skills detailed above to reduce your cooldowns. Thanks to {{Trait|Vicious Quarry}} and your berserker gear you will have very high crit chance, or 99% when attacking from behind due to {{Trait|Hunter's Tactics}}.
 
−
===Defense===
 
−
* {{Skill|Perilous Gift}} - you take no damage during this, and then it heals you for 50% of your missing health. By proccing {{Trait|Fervent Force}} so often, this skill will have a very low cooldown.
 
−
* {{Skill|Forest's Fortification}} - reduces damage taken by 50% by 10 seconds, and its cooldown is reduced by 1 second each time you strike during that time. Combine if with {{Skill|Whirling Defense}} or {{Skill|Relentless Whirl}} to significantly reduce its cooldown. And with {{Trait|Fervent Force}} on top, you will have good uptime of this massive damage reduction.
 
−
===Sustain===
 
−
* Your Unleashed Ambush skills {{Skill|Relentless Whirl}} or {{Skill|Sundering Volley}} heal you a little bit, and more for each target hit due to {{Trait|Natural Fortitude}}.
 
−
===Crowd Control===
 
−
* {{Skill|Overbearing Smash}}
 
−
* {{Skill|Thump (untamed)}}
 
−
* {{Skill|Path of Scars}}
 
−
* {{Skill|Exploding Spores}}
 
−
* {{Skill|Head Toss}}

Warming Hearth gave this build 5 stars • April 2024
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.
