GW2. WvW Build. DPS Untamed WvW Zerg Build. Ranger WvW. Large Scale WvW Build.
The Untamed is a DPS ranger build for WvW Zerging that uses the Hammer and Spear to hit hard while still having access to great damage mitigation from the untamed Cantrip skills to allow you to survive in melee while doing your bursts. Unblockable attacks from the Signet of the Hunt and the Spear 3 from Stealth help to break through enemy defenses.
Although this build is mostly a melee playstyle, it has many options for range or other utilities due to both weapons having two sets of skills whether being unleashed for the hammer or in stealth for the spear. While you mostly want to be unleashed to deal more damage with the hammer, unleashing your pet also allows you to create a projectile blocking dome with F3, and you gain a damage reduction buff while the pet is unleashed which is helpful in many situations where you are under attack but not attacking back.
Stealth is obtained by using the Spear 5, and it will make your Spear 3 unblockable, the Spear 4 daze for a long duration, and the Spear 5 is a net to immobilize. Mostly you want to use the 3 and 5 from stealth as they have the biggest difference. The net is not a projectile so it goes through projectile blocks, and can allow your group to catch people out of position.
Basic Combos
- Unleash Pet (F5) > F1/F2/F3 > Spear 5 > 5 > 3 > 4 > Storm Spirit
- Unleash Ranger (F5) > Ambush (1) > 2 > Swap Weapon
- Hammer Ambush (1) > Hammer 2 + Signet of the Hunt > 3 > 5
- Unleash Pet (F5) > 4 > Exploding Spores
These ambushes will remove boons and so will the Exploding Spores and Hammer 3 while unleashed. Try to use the Exploding Spores when enemies are coming towards you or after they’ve been immobilized by the Hammer 4 when not unleashed or the stealth Spear 5 because they can take some time to trigger.
