Introduction

The Power Untamed is a melee DPS and boon removal build for WvW zergs. It excels at stripping boons from enemies and dealing strong power damage. The core mechanic of Untamed is that you can enhance either your weapon or your pets skills by unleashing. You can either unleash yourself or your pet at a time. Unleashing only has a little cooldown, so you can switch mid-fight easily. After unleashing yourself the weapon skill 1 of each weapon will enhance to the "Unleashed Ambush" version of the skill Untamed also offers a lot of damage mitigation via invulnerability frames on the pet and itself.

How to Play

Start on unleashed player and spear:

Notes

• Always monitor your pet skills and pet swap cooldown. If pet swap is ready, wait 5s, then swap and use F3 for damage absorb.
• Your Heal skill, Elite, and Signet are your main damage immunities. Use them in this priority: Heal > Elite > Signet.
• Signet can be used even while CC'd, so keep it for emergencies.
