GW2. WvW Build. Power Untamed WvW Roaming Build. Ranger WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.
Role: Assassin 
The Power Untamed is a roaming ranger build for WvW that can deal massive damage with ambush skills when empowered by the Remorseless trait which increases your and your pet’s next attack’s damage by 25% and makes it 100% critical chance after gaining Fury. Prefer to use this on hard-hitting single attacks like the Greatsword 2 or the Longbow Ambush to get the most value out of it. Fury is gained when swapping pets, or landing any CC. This means you should generally use CC skills, and if these land follow up with your heavy-hitting abilities.
Ambush skills will be available on your 1 skill for each weapon when unleashing yourself, but also due to the Let Loose trait they will become available after swapping weapons, so prioritize using these after swapping weapons and gaining Fury. Since the Longbow Ambush skill hits hard, you can use the Longbow 4 knockback as a disable that triggers the fury for your Remorseless and then cast the Ambush.
Basic Combos:
- Unleash Ranger > Longbow 4 > Ambush > 2
- Unleash Ranger > Unnatural Traversal > Greatsword 5 > Pet Swap > GS 2 > F3 > GS Ambush
Stealth: Smokescale F2 > Unleash Pet > F2 > Greatsword 3
When you fit these basic combos into a rotation they can look more like this:
Opener 1:
- Unleashed Smokescale > F1/F2/F3 > Unleash Ranger > F3 > F1
- Unnatural Traversal > Greatsword 5 > Swap Pet > GS 2 > Drake F3 > GS Ambush
Opener 2:
- Unleashed Smokescale > F1/F2/F3 > Unleash Ranger
- Longbow 4 > Ambush > F3 > F1 > LB 2 > 3 > Swap Weapon
- Greatsword 3 > Swap Pet > GS Ambush > Swap Pet > GS 2 > Drake F3

I’ve played both versions and both are really fun to play and more resilient that what I though tbh…. (It’s a high risk high reward build…. But when you make it work is really rewarding!)
However I still struggle to consistently do the double hammer 5 leap, is there any trick or tip to do it or just practice timing because at this point I’ve tried and sometimes happen and sometimes not and would be handy to know if I’m missing something
Thanks!!!!
you need to press unleash and the hammer 5 before the first hammer 5 animation finishes
Thank you!! 🙂
Great content (both of you) by the way ! 😉
Is hammer mace mace viable with this build ?
A new build with maces coming soon, but no hammer.
Unnatural traversal feels kinda bad these days with it nerfed and cast time added to it, don’t get as much value from it anymore, seen more people replace it with storm spirit, seems to be the go to in wvw and spvp, hits for insane dmg and dazes. or even sic’em, but i guess u can change it to w/e in wvw depending what ur playing against.
Lead the wind instead of remorseless seems better to, don’t really generate much fury and lot of times i noticed good players will just strip soon as they see u set up your burst/swap pet, short cds+quickness/swiftness on point blank shot feels better and more synergy with speed relic
how bad is the utility skill exploding spores? looks good on paper. also instead of river drake, panther seems a bit better these days, on demand stealth and still hits pretty hard.
I don’t think spores are good, too slow, the cage is better. This build is not as good as before, but maybe you can check the other power untamed builds, maces build and spear build.
