Untamed - DPS Untamed

Detailed Explanations

Burst Damage

• The first two steps can be disregarded if you are already in combat and using Weapon Swap off cooldown
  • If you have downtime after Weapon Swap is ready you can play around the extra 能量觉醒 proc you get at 15s
    • Use 宠物觉醒 while you wait for an opportunity to spike, then use the full combo as if it is the start of the fight again
    • If you have the opportunity to spike with your group but haven't got the 能量觉醒 proc yet, just Weapon Swap and spike immediately. A weaker spike with your team is better than a stronger spike alone
• Add 孢子爆炸 into the combo if you see a good opportunity, otherwise save it until the enemy group is pushing into yours or both groups are trading hits
• Weapon swapping recharges your ambush skills, allowing you to boon rip more frequently. They should almost always be prioritized as the first skills used when weapon swapping.
• Be careful not to cancel your ambushes with weapon swaps or other skills, particularly 无情回旋

Damage

• Start fights on Mace/Mace
• Use 剥裂藤蔓 followed immediately by 剧毒爆发 and 孢络尘雾 as you spike.
  • 剥裂藤蔓 takes 0.75 seconds to activate. Using Venomous Outburst and Enveloping Haze right before 剥裂藤蔓 strikes helps the skill land by wasting blind and aegis on unimportant skills.
• Make sure to be in 游侠觉醒 state when spiking for the DPS increase and so you can use your ambush skills.

Mace

• In mace prioritize 芽新枝蓓 first, both to increase burst via its second hit and to ensure the lowest CD skill will be up faster if any hits are missed and Nature's Strength isn't procced through the first rotation.
• Make sure all of your mace skills land for Nature's Strength stacks
  • Your mace cooldowns reset on reaching 5 stacks of Nature's Strength
    • 芽新枝蓓, 蓟菊防御 and 狂野打击 grant 1 stack each while 芽开成花 grants 2, for a total of 5
• If you miss any of your skills for Nature's Strength you have some options to get the missed stacks
  • 橡木棍打 - While this skill deals no damage, it is the fastest way by far to get the final stack of Nature's Strength
  • 芽苞初放 - Your final auto chain also gives a stack of Nature's Strength
  • 芽新枝蓓 - Waiting for 芽新枝蓓 to come off cooldown is your last resort to stack the final Nature's Strength
  • If you miss landing 2 skills for Nature's Strength, just swap out of maces and try again next time instead of waiting any longer
• Be careful with the forced movement from 橡木棍打
  • Don't aim directly into the enemy group and make sure to drop your target before casting these skills
    • A Lock Autotarget keybind can be used to quickly drop your target

Hammer

• In hammer be sure to use all skills while in 游侠觉醒 for the substantial damage increase.
• 觉醒的野蛮冲击 is your strongest non-ambush spiking skill but requires you to be nearly on top of an enemy for all 3 strikes to land.
• Make sure not to cancel the follow-up swing of 觉醒的专横碾压, it has the majority of its damage and rips boons
• 觉醒的碎地重击 hits hard, but is very hard to use due to forced movement. It is not worth casting if you'll miss more than 2 autos while getting back in position afterwards
• Be careful with the forced movement from 觉醒的碎地重击
  • Don't aim directly into the enemy group and make sure to drop your target before casting these skills
    • A Lock Autotarget keybind can be used to quickly drop your target

Boon rip

• You have three sources of boon rip, 孢子爆炸, 剥裂藤蔓 and on Ambush skills via 腐化藤蔓
  • When possible combine both with other members of your group spiking
• 孢子爆炸 can strike up to 30 targets due to each spore having a 5 target cap
  • Prioritize positioning over hitting maximum targets - don't put yourself in the enemy stack to use 孢子爆炸

CC

• Use your CC when:
  • Your group calls a spike such as Wells (腐化法池)
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive enemies are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups move defensively while your group is pushing
• Combine 自然束缚 with your Ambush skills or 孢子爆炸 when possible to strip boons before CCing
