Overview
Untamed is a highly survivable, powerful damage dealer and very useful melee offensive support with surprisingly high flexibility.
Featuring better control to its pets and access to the Unleashed Ambush type of skill, Untamed overall usefulness has another dimension beyond its pool of weapons and utility skills, and that dimension comes from pets. Similar to Soulbeast Soulbeast, Untamed can use and manage 3 different skills at will depending on the current pet, but unlike Soulbeast, these skills are tied to the pet, using its stats and animation locks (this means that you can use any pet skill without interrupting any of your own animations at all).
Untamed gets built-in and non-commital higher vitality than the rest of the Ranger specializations, extremely solid sustain and a wide array of defensive tools; with these qualities being inherent to itself there's no requirement to sacrifice part of its powerful offense, as such, it's usually considered one of the top-tier Open World specializations.
Regarding Untamed's playstyle, it is generally fast-paced, with many instant casts, a pet to manage and a rotation based on switching stances, improvisation on real encounters and a focus on the overall rotation loop. However, most of its skills can be queued and mistakes on the rotation are easy to manage and not considerably punishing, thus, can be considered a low skill floor/high skill ceiling specialization.
Untamed is somewhat limited by an important conditional, as it is having skills and traits that are reliant on enemies being defiant. While it is rare, easy to determine and doesn't suppose a massive loss, that is to consider.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Untamed has a lot of viable weapon options that perform very similarly. The highest damage options use Hammer along with either Spear or Sword/Axe. Sword/Axe has been chosen as the default as it is easier to play, but both of them have a similar damage output.
Mace/Mace can be used along with Hammer for more utility, but a moderate DPS loss.
Whenever replacing Sword/Axe, make sure to run 
尖牙利爪.
Skill Variants
惊险馈赠 makes you receive 100% less strike and condition damage and thus helping towards damage uptime. Can be replaced.
"干掉他们！" can be replaced in case there's a need for other utilities.
自然精魂 is a five-target revive thanks to 
自然之仇, however it can be replaced for whatever fits most.
Pet Variants
- Jaguar Jaguar is required when playing Spear as it provides an extra source of
潜行. - Hawk Hawk is the best DPS pet if you're not using Spear.
- Tiger Tiger has similar damage and better access to group-wide
激怒. - Jungle Stalker Jungle Stalker provides better
威能 uptime if it's of need. - Warclaw Warclaw has access to CC and group-wide
奔驰疾速. - White Tiger White Tiger provides party wide
圣盾. - Siege Turtle Siege Turtle is a solid CC pet with additional access to a projectile barrier.
Template Code
[&DQQeORkZSB8UGxQbtgC2AKUBtQCsAawBlwEPGwswLwcAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]Specializations
- When replacing Sword Sword for either Spear Spear or Mace Maces, 尖牙利爪 on Skirmishing Skirmishing is taken instead.
- Untamed Untamed's and Nature Magic Nature Magic's master traits are not important, and can be changed at will.
- 自然之仇 can be changed for
活力契约 by switching 
风暴精魂 for 
孢子爆炸.
- This will come at a small DPS loss in exchange for access to some group-wide
活力 and 
保护. - This change will also reduce your access to CC by switching from a 400 breakbar skill with 360 AoE and a Cooldown of 20 seconds to a 200 breakbar skill with a considerably smaller AoE and a Cooldown of 25 seconds.
- This will come at a small DPS loss in exchange for access to some group-wide
Equipment
潜行者古物 is the best alternative for those without the Janthir Wilds expansion.
Sigil Variants
超级专注法印 can help on encounters where a higher 
急速 buffer may prove to be beneficial.
超级瘫痪法印 increases the breakbar damage on 
昏迷 and 
晕眩.
Consumables
Food:
碗装甜辣冬南瓜汤 or ascended versions.

Usage
Quickness
Untamed provides 急速 in a radius of 480 units around the Ranger with the trait 
尽情释放.
- Every Unleashed Ambush grants 急速.
- There's no need to hit a target to do this and thus it is possible to upkeep boons without any conditionals, yet note that Unleashed Ambush skills are your highest damage sources, so it's preferable to not to just mindlessly waste them.
- After an Unleashed Ambush, there will be a few seconds where Weapon Swap Weapon Swap will allow the use of a second Unleashed Ambush.
- This second Unleashed Ambush will also grant 急速.
As to provide 急速 to our group, we shall do the following sequence.
- In order to get access to the Unleashed Ambush, we'll need to be on
宠物觉醒 first with 
能量觉醒.
- We will usually dip there for a bit then proceed to
游侠觉醒, allowing us to use our current weapon's Unleashed Ambush.
- We will usually dip there for a bit then proceed to
- Unleashed Ambush
- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap
- Unleashed Ambush
Rotation
Start with 宠物觉醒. Whenever the pet is unleashed you also want to be using your F1-3 skills off cooldown.
- Similar to Mechanist Mechanist, there's the option to set F1-3 skills on autocast (only the 游侠觉醒 versions).
- In general, it is preferred to set DPS skills on autocast while leaving situational/utility skills to be used at will.
Unleashing and your 宠物觉醒 F1-3 skills, are all instant cast so can be used during other skills. These skills are used off cooldown in the rotation, however, 
孢络尘雾 (F3) can be saved for its use as a mobile projectile block.
Because of 
野性誓言, we want to use as many powerful skills as posible on 游侠觉醒 in order to make use of the 25% damage boost.
克达之爪古物 is a 7% strike damage boost that lasts for 8 seconds and activates (and resets) on disables.
- The rotation upkeeps it on Spear Spear by using
肉食伏击. - The rotation upkeeps it on Sword Sword and Axe Axe by using
伤痕轨迹 and 
灵敏打击. - The rotation upkeeps it on Hammer Hammer by using 风暴精魂.
If bringing 
冰霜陷阱, use it off cooldown without delaying weapon skills.
You can save 风暴精魂 for oncoming defiance bars.
Do not delay Unleashed Ambush skills.
Hammer rotations
Outside of the opener, use "干掉他们！" off cooldown.
风暴精魂 use will change depending on your weapons as you want to use it to maintain the buff from 克达之爪古物 based on where your CC happens. If you're not using this relic, you can just use it off cooldown.
- With Spear, you should use it at towards the end of the Spear section.
- With Maces or Sword/Axe, you should use it near the start of the Hammer section
Opener
- Reminder: These are instant casts, which means that you can use these pet skills while using any of the other pet skills and, both 风暴精魂 and 冰霜陷阱 without any animation commitment whatsoever.

Spear rotations
When not running Hammer, Spear can be taken instead. Make sure to run Jaguar Jaguar. Ranger's spear is unique because all of its 2-5 skills have their own stealth attacks. 黑豹窥伺 provides stealth, and as an ammo skill you can use it frequently to access these stealth attacks. This skill also has a unique effect that allows you to use these stealth attacks even if you get revealed, though using any stealth attack will remove this effect.
Outside of the opener, use "干掉他们！" off cooldown.

Crowd Control
Untamed's access to CC is very solid. These are your options:
- Fanged Iboga Fanged Iboga - F2 offers 150 breakbar damage and a
拉拽. - Electric Wyvern Electric Wyvern - F2 and F3 offer 232 breakbar damage each.
- 风暴精魂 - 400 breakbar damage (200 per shake).

专横碾压 and 碎地重击 offer CC if used while the pet is unleashed, but accessing this requires rearranging your rotation and a loss of DPS.
橡木棍打 - 250 breakbar damage.
狂野打击 - 200 breakbar damage.
- Mace Mace's breakbar damage can double thanks to Nature's Strength Nature's Strength.
