Overview
An Untamed power build for WvW roaming utilizing Ranger's spear to deal massive damage in close to medium range. This is a high risk, high reward build that could delete opponents in seconds but might lose just as easily if you're not careful.
Skill Bar
Skill Variants
Weapons
Spear is mandatory but the secondary weapon slot is more flexible. Viable options are:
-
Mainhand Dagger - the biggest selling point here is the teleport, especially the vertical mobility it offers. With dagger you get to chase after enemies even if they escape to the highground. The damage is also fine and has a combo finisher for stealth stacking.
-
Mainhand Sword - 2 mobility tools with combo potential and great damage.
-
Offhand Mace - sort of a defensive weapon with condi cleansing and a bit of
稳固 that's just enough to counter certain CCs when timed right. Also has great damage. -
Offhand Warhorn - combo potential, CC and some ranged pressure. The boons are not that relevant except for the opener, as you can get these passively from other sources during combat.
Pets
Jaguar Jaguar is optional. Other viable pets include:
-
Aether Hunter Aether Hunter - good damage and CC.
-
Siege Turtle Siege Turtle - more of a defensive pet with anti-projectile and
保护, but also offers some CC.

Utility
Usage
Elite specialization basics
-
Untamed Untamed Rangers have more control over their pets than regular Rangers, allowing them to manually control their pet's 3 special attacks.
-
Unleash is the central mechanic of Untamed. At any given time either you or your pet is in the Unleashed state, and you get to flip back and forth on a 1s CD.
-
When you're Unleashed, your first autoattack is empowered. Spear's turns into
劫掠逃离 while Dagger's becomes 
神经毒素爆发. Unleashing yourself also makes you deal more damage. -
Unleashing the pet grants your pet a damage reduction while their pet skills flip over to new ones:
General
-
Pet swapping acts as a Blast finisher thanks to
野性号角. Being instant, you can have Smokescale place a 
障目烟云 under you (even while you're stunned), and swap pets for AoE stealth. -
Smokescale Smokescale's F2
障目烟云 is a useful combo field:- Projectile finishers like
猎鹰猛扑 could 
目盲 your target, increasing your sustain. - While your pet is unleashed, Smoke Cloud is replaced by
剥裂藤蔓 which is a Blast finisher. Dropping the field, unleashing the pet and pressing the skill again could make your pet combo Stealth for you on his own. - Both weapon sets have either leap or blast finishers for stealth stacking.
- Projectile finishers like
Sustain
-
森林壁垒 is one of your best survival tools. You can also reduce its CD by attacking enemies. -
净化觉醒 makes your unleash ability remove 2 conditions every 10 seconds, which is your first line of defense against conditions. -
症状异变 is for emergencies in case condition damage is starting to overwhelm you. Consider disengaging/repositioning right after or following up with 
潜行 so you have some time to recover. It's also a stunbreak. -
"快保护我！" is both a stunbreak and an excellent skill for damage mitigation. Hold onto it in case you get stunned if Mutate Conditions is on CD, otherwise you get to use it a bit more freely. -
Every unleashed pet skill can be used defensively, and
宠物觉醒 itself grants you damage reduction. -
剧毒爆发 is an instant source of ranged 目盲 via trait synergy that could also be used if you're CC'd or casting skills. -
剥裂藤蔓 applies
迟缓 but only if the target is CC'd. It's still useful for preventing them from counterpressuring you after the CC. -
孢络尘雾 destroys projectiles while the Chill Chill makes it easy for you to kite enemies caught in it. -
It's fine to use
黑豹窥伺 just to stealth up and disengage for a bit. Both sets have mobility skills to help you build gaps too.
Doing damage
-
Make sure that you're the one who's unleashed during burst combos, not the pet! Don't miss out on
野性誓言. -
Once evey 15 seconds unleashed autoattacks become available:
劫掠逃离 on Spear and 神经毒素爆发 on Dagger. You don't suddenly gain access to them whenever they're off cooldown, only when you use 
游侠觉醒.
尽情释放 makes it easier to manage these skills - whenever you swap weapons, the CD is reset so you always get to use unleashed attacks right after weapon swapping. After that the 15s CD still applies but only if you stay on the same weapon long enough.
-
Whenever
激怒 is applied to you, your next attack will deal more damage and be a guaranteed critical hit. This only works on the next strike and doesn't cover entire skills that deliver multiple hits like 
群狼猛攻. -
Sources of
激怒 applications in the build:- Swapping pets thanks to 野性号角. This is instant and could even be used in the middle of casting skills to make them crit when they land.
- Weapon swapping.
- Randomly when getting stuck below 75% HP.
- Swapping pets thanks to
Spear
-
Spear's gimmick is stealth attacks - whenever you're stealthed, stronger versions of skills 2-5 become available. As striking an enemy reveals you, you only get to use 1 of these skills per stealth window.
-
Skills 2-4 deal heavy damage while #5 (Panther's Prowl) fills a utility purpose.
-
黑豹窥伺 is perhaps the most important skill on this weapon, as it's an easy way of obtaining 潜行. Not only that, but it allows you to use stealth attacks even when you're
暴露! So this could even fit into burst combos - in case you've just revealed yourself by doing a stealth attack, Panther's Prowl could unlock other stealth attacks without having to wait for Revealed to fall off. -
Skill #2 on Spear,
猫鼬狂乱 is a simple melee cleave with high damage. Works fine as a followup to skill #4.- Stealth attacks: 群狼猛攻 adds an extra strike at the end, increasing its damage significantly but also its cast time. Works best when the target's CC'd and can't fight back or if you.
- Stealth attacks:
-
Skill #3,
猎鹰猛扑 is a solid ranged attack. You can extend its range and make it unblockable by stealthing up. -
Skill #4,
战爪进攻 is a highly versatile skill and the primary candidate for stealth attacks. Works as a leap finisher, mobility tool, has good damage and could 
晕眩 targets if stealthed. If you can get stealth from other sources, use this in stealth. If you can't, use this to gain stealth by comboing with your Smokescale. -
Both pets provide opportunities for you to enter
潜行.
