Equipment

Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

In bigger scale, 磐石纹章 图标磐石纹章 can be slotted instead of one of our offensive Cantrips if you are struggling to sustain the melee clashes.

In smaller scale, you could similarly slot "干掉他们!" 图标"干掉他们!" to Reveal a player if your organized squad feels the need to lock down single targets. Though, you would rather have a Support Druid taking care of it.

Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Power Untamed is a melee Damage dealer shining in smaller scale fights with powerful Crowd Control and bursts. Due to its short reach, it loses value in largest blob fights despite its incredible survivability.

Based on Cantrips and Ambushes, this build aims to Down enemies with heavy Damage modifiers, but also brings a highly desired tool in WvW : Boon Removal.

Spear and Greatsword complement each other with respective access to range and melee burst to reduce the downtimes in our rotation.

Dealing Damage

Unleash Mechanic

Stay Unleashed most of the time in order to deal more Damage due to 野性誓言 图标野性誓言.

You only want to 宠物觉醒 图标宠物觉醒 to press 剧毒爆发 图标剧毒爆发, 剥裂藤蔓 图标剥裂藤蔓 and 孢络尘雾 图标孢络尘雾 when their Cooldowns are all up.

游侠觉醒 图标游侠觉醒 grants us access to Ambush weapon skills, just like 尽情释放 图标尽情释放 does when we Weapon Swap. Note you must also be Unleashed to gain the Ambush from 尽情释放 图标尽情释放.

Start on Spear to look for early Damage with a Ranged Spike on the first clash while staying safe.

On the Well of Corruption Spike, gap close and instantly swap to your Greatsword to follow up. We will aim to catch players lacking Stability with 自然束缚 图标自然束缚. We should instantly look to generate Downs with our burst rotation and quickly cleave them.

Once you are done completing your Greatsword rotation, you can swap back to Spear and keep dealing sustained Damage.

Use 黑豹窥伺 图标黑豹窥伺 for 鸱枭群翔 图标鸱枭群翔 and 蜘蛛网张 图标蜘蛛网张 as they are both Unblockable and our best bet for Damage.

猫鼬狂乱 图标猫鼬狂乱 and 战爪进攻 图标战爪进攻 can safely be used without being empowered anytime you are in Range.

Rotation Notes

  • Try to always Weapon Swap to Greatsword in melee Range to land the effect of 超级水能法印 图标超级水能法印.
  • If you are confident in your ability to survive leaping forward on a target, you can try using 剑柄猛击 图标剑柄猛击 to get an additional 重击 图标重击 off in your Burst Rotation.

Defense

Power Untamed has many different ways to completely negate power Damage for a short duration:

These tools can be used both reactively and proactively: you can cast one of these skills before an important clash if you know you could be dying in order to land your combos safely.

Additionally, 战爪进攻 图标战爪进攻 and 猛扑 图标猛扑 leaps are also an Evade that can help you escape from AoEs.

格挡反踢 图标格挡反踢 also allows you to reposition yourself safely, Blocking all incoming attacks during its cast.

症状异变 图标症状异变 is your only Stun Break: use it carefully and be ready to activate it when you expose yourself to potential enemy Crowd Controls.
