Power Longbow Untamed Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Builds. Longbow Archer Power Untamed Open World. Ranger PvE.

The Power Longbow Untamed is a ranger build for Open World PvE that uses as many cooldown reduction sources to allow permanent use of the longbow weapon for consistent ranged damage.

The F5 keybind allows you to swap between unleashing yourself or your pet. Prefer to be unleashed as it gives you more damage modifiers and allows Ambush abilities, but you may often want to toggle your pet unleash once every rotation because all of the Unleashed Pet abilities (F1/F2/F3) can be used very quickly and then toggled back. Also when your pet is unleashed you gain a significant damage reduction boost, which can be useful to swap to if you get stunned and can’t use any attacks.

Each weapon has an Ambush (replaces the 1 skill) that is enabled when entering Unleash every 10 seconds. Whenever swapping weapons with the Let Loose trait, Ambushes will also be available. Using these two methods you can cast the Longbow Ambush Multishot twice in a row. With the Longbow Ambush Multishot you can reduce the cooldowns of your other Longbow skills which can fuel your skill rotation when using the combos in the right order.

Also when swapping weapons you will gain the Quick Draw buff which reduces the cooldown of the first weapon skill used after swapping. This should be used on either your main damaging skills Longbow 2 or 5 depending on whether you want faster burst or more AoE. Use Longbow 4 when possible to gain Quickness and Fury.

Skill Combos

• Longbow 4 > 5 > 2
• Unleash Pet (F5) > F1/F2/F3 > Unleash Ranger (F5)
• Ambush (1) > Swap > Ambush (1)
• Longbow 2 > 4 > 5 > 2

On subsequent rotations you may wait for your skills to come off cooldown or use the first Ambush to reset your rotation faster, which would require you to use Longbow 2 before the second Ambush.

Subsequent Skill Order

• Unleash Pet (F5) > F1/F2/F3 > Unleash Ranger (F5)
• Ambush (1) > Swap > Longbow 2 > Ambush (1)
• Longbow 2 > 4 > 5 > 2

Alternatives

• Relic: more reliable fury or more accessible Relic
• Relic: for more mobility
