How to Play Quick DPS Untamed: Group or Solo - Guild Wars 2 Guide 

Answering some FAQ from the comment section! "Can I bring XX pet?" - Tiger is highest damage, also helps with fury (CRAP I FORGOT TO MENTION IT GIVES FURY TOO), but you can swap out the rock gazelle for utility on demand, such as white tiger backup for group Aegis "Can I bring XX weapon?" - I tried a ton of various weapon combinations out with this build, and these are the results of my tests with MY SKILL LEVEL. Keep in mind the mace/mace gives a ton of utility/CC if you choose to replace them: sword/axe + hammer 28k mace/mace + sword/axe 28k sword/axe + dagger/mace 27k sword/axe + greatsword 27k axe/mace + sword/axe 26.6k sword/axe + longbow 25k mace/mace + axe/axe 24.7k sword/axe + staff (lol) 24k

"I'm never going to recover from this" - Weaver on this video series

I'd watch your back man, the Weaver community (four people) is gonna have it out for you

14:29 "GOAT ON STANDBY!" - hoping this will pop up again Noxxi

Keep roasting weaver, so Anet need to listen.

Love your profession reviews and now guides! After watching your videos I understand class mechanics in a way I didn’t before. It’s completely changed my approach to learning builds and has really increased my enjoyment of playing the game.

I'm usually a silent viewer of your content, but I really need to thank you for sharing this build and how to play video. It's been a long time since I've had fun solo roaming PVE content, the ranger running this made it great. I even talked an old ranger main friend of mine into coming back to the game just to try this. Worth it. Thank you!

I hope your weaver trashtalking will actually make Anet devs to take a look at it

One thing I noticed is that mace/mace doesn't give you the 'big mode' on every 5th skill, but rather at 5 stacks of its Nature's Strength buff, which skill 5 gives 2 stacks of. In this way I found you can go 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5, which then makes you go big mode, so you can then go reverse with 5 -> 4 -> 3 -> 2 and then weaponswap's available! Lets you literally use every skill twice, plus gives a nice flow to it :)

hey muk, really cool how much you like this build, its really visible. i know testing all the boon-dps might have been not exactly what youre used to as a heal-main, but it seems to have paid off, considering you discovered this =) untamed has been one of the builds that i have been eye-ing constantly lately, because although herald is really good it does get kind of boring playing it all the time. anyway, nice vid!

High utility great self sustain is also the reason I like Quick Scrapper, you can often ignore so many mechanics in open world and you are still providing AOE barrier with Bulwark gyro, AOE healing with the Heal Turret and reviving people with Function Gyro, and if you really need more healing you have the Rapid Regeneration trait.

I'm a bit mad at myself for waiting so long to play Untamed... Made a ranger waaaay back last year when I had a spare slot (mostly for key farms) but the early playstyle just didnt vibe with me at the time, so i just grabbed my key and deleted them. Recently made a new one, with the level boost from Janthir preorder i had sitting around, and holy shit. Untamed (and ranger in general) are waaaay more enjoyable than i remember, I've just been running around blasting metas and what not just on that, Mace/Mace + Sword/Axe is way more enjoyable than i thought it would have been! Hopefully im not too terrible at Druid or Soulbeast, later on lol... Still gotta fill out my pet menagerie too... Thanks for the vid, Muk ❤

My biggest issue as a new ranger is figuring which unleash I am in… why do I have to look at my pet skill icons to know what state I am in? Give me a “ranger shroud” or something more visible instead of some tiny arse icon that changes color…

I've been using this build for awhile and love it! Only thing that's different for my build is I use 1 piece of Divner's gear to help make keeping quickness up a little easier for me and I use hammer instead of sword/axe.

Take a shot every time Mukluk roasted weaver ever since its video.

Thanks for this video Mukluk. I haven’t been playing my Ranger/Soulbeast, since I started playing the lazy rifle Mechanist. I never really learned how to play Untamed but I did try it out a couple times. With this video I think I’ll try Untamed again and learn the rotation properly. Update: I used this build for my first play through of Janthir Wilds, and it worked great. I'm thinking that I will also practice with the rotation a bit (I'm not great at remembering when to use the Unleash feature, and often don't even know which is unleashed, me or the pet), and then I'm going to try to find a group to get back into Fractals and Raids and Strikes. As you said, I think this will be a great build for group content, to assist with boons and bringing the "Oh Sh!t" elite skill when things go sideways. Thanks again for this video and the explanation.

Mukluk may say otherwise but THIS VIDEO IS A GUIDE!!

I love how excited you get with ranger

Quick question just out of curiosity... Would this build also work with mace/mace - hammer? Edit: Awesome, ty all ^^

I had never put hero points into untamed until I watched this. It's now my main.

I like this new series. After you done: I tried all dps. Are you gonna do a: I tried everything? 😅

Do you have a variant that uses longbow? Until Dragon Bash is over, I need a build that still lets me push vets out of the stack with longbow 4.

Thx for the build I love it :) Just picked hammer instead of axe/sword You know, just more bonking..

Edit: Nevermind, I watched the whole video again and saw how thoroughly you explained it. Any idiot can follow what you said, even me.

Does the cooldown to get the ambush on unleash countdown even when you are unleashed? I.e. can you unleash pet, do pet skills, unleash you, ambush weapon swap ambush, and just stay unleashed until the cooldown is up. Then unleash pet and start again? I guess are you mainly unleashed or pet mainly unleashed?

Think I have not tried untamed yet(shame on me) I love my druid and kinda have soulbeast for open world stuff, but this looks amazing. I'm going to make your Utamed build on my druid right away when I'm off work

Is it a reason you dont mention the viability of using this build in Fractals? If we have a aHeal it would be ok, right? (The reason why i'm asking is because Metabattle doesn't list quick power untamed as a fractal build, but it should be good, right?)

My main ❤❤❤. Also, if you use brown bear as a pet, you have a stronger heal and also have another source of invulnerability.

what are your thoughts on using Dragon stats for the concentration and ferocity with this build?

Cant wait to test this in fractals. This is huge!

This build actually looks pretty fun. If there wasn't the green snot. I really hate that. As long as that exists I'll go with Herald.

Poor boy - you really have a weaver-trauma :D You encourage me on my consistant playstyle to try and play every class and elitespec except ele ... ;)

question, what food should i use for PvE content? thank you

well thats it ! I'm making one, thank you

condi quick is way more fun and not harder to play :D

Any recommendation for a ranged second weapon?

I'm totally impressed 😁

Should add that you can go white tiger instead of tiger and have a 5 man aegis in your back pocket too lol…

the discord link to the build doesn't seem to work

How does that elite skill revive? I know that will seem like a newb question, but it says it flips conditions - is the downstate condition then flipped to “upstate”?…

Could a variation of this work in wvw zergs, that rez could be huge

its so fricking annoying to try and guess if u are unleashed without looking at the utility bar, i hope near in the future anet can add a bit of a green tint at the edges of the screen so i can know on the go if my character is unleashed and not my pet, that way i can focus on the real action.

Still throwing shade at the Weaver. It's Defeated already. 🤣

I love untamed mechanics and thematically! But I CANNOT stand the snot cloud. It kills me, the player….. 😩😞

Another jab at Weaver uffff

I'm actually aheal, adps, dps on my ranger. Always wanted to qdps, is there a way to qdps but using SB and condi, even if dps is lower, or is it impossible if your fews meter away from the grp? Imagine double SB lazy ass qdps😂😂

Nooo Muk, you were the chosen one, you were supposed to restore balance to the ranger, to destroy the untamed not to join them

Don't stand in OLC pull, you get Exposed ^^;

The weaver slander is uncalled for...

this is already way better than weaver

Thank you @muklukRU-vid! I've really enjoyed "Let's try XX" series, but I always wanted a more detailed "How to play XX" video like this one. You've just made my day. Now, the million dollar question is - Will you be making a whole series, or was this a one-off? Please be the former and do Dragonhunter next! LOL.

Untamed is my favorite elite in the game by far. It's my go to for WvW roaming for both power and condi, and my open world build of choice. 10 out of 10.

being a ranger is already better than weaver

OMG THIS BUILD IS SO GOOD... .O... M... G, less than 15 min with it and I'm standing toe to toe with T2 / T3 rifts... ooohhhhhhh yeah!

I lost it at "Holy skritt" at 15:16 LMAO

This does look fun both for pve and open world, might have to try it. Always been looking for a good build for my ranger, who is my oldest character, other than healer Druid

Hey muk :) I see this build has a lot of CCs. So maybe look into "Relic of the Midnight King". I think with this build you can provide 20 might and a high uptime if not 100% uptime of Fury.

mukluk: weaver and cata are sooooo bad anet: lets make weaver and cata simpler and totally op mukluk: weaver and cata are now waaaaay to strong, lord hizen just killed cerus lcm solo anet: but you wanted them stronger!?!?

Just a tip, in unleashed pet, the optimal order you should do is F1, F3, F2. F3 is a field and you want to blast that field with F2.

Wow. I am not a great GW2 player(I'm still working on my first Legendary, from the achievement), it is actually my very first MMO, but I gravitated to Ranger because I wanted to be useful to other people I meet and have a big toolkit, while being able to comfortably solo the content (I'm mostly a solo player). I first wanted to try Druid, but I couldn't make it work in solo, and ended up a Soulbeast that shares his stances whenever I'm doing some kind of event. This is even cooler! I really want to try it out! Thank you for your videos, they've been really great help in getting into GW2.

The link for the build/Discord doesn't work. My Discord says I can't access none of those "places".

hopefully someone actually notices that the "jokes" about weaver are reality for some of us... weaver needs serious attention :(

the link to the build isn't working for me, I'm in your discord but cant seem to see that channel

I really love this build. I switched a ring and the amulet out for diviner's gear so keeping quickness up is easier and hitting the cap is faster but this is the best qdps I have found. Thanks for sharing it!

Okay, you've convinced me. Now I have to leave my comfy spot in the Echovalds, go to Draconis Mons to get my little tiger buddy, and slay some bosses.

You are making me wanna try ranger again and bring back that toon from the shadow realm

Interesting, I am going to test this one, I have main soul best but sometimes I feel like a lack of utility apart from the dmg.

Been a ranger main for years and when I watched your original Untamed QDPS video (which I loved) and I made a build and have been running since. I love it! Very versitile and if you use the Untamed Elite skill it also feels very comfortible for solo openworld junk.

9:33 So what I'm hearing is that with a group of 4 untamed dps and 1 weaver, the weaver might actually have enough uptime to perform their full rotation. :3

This seems pretty good, tbh I have played a lot of SB (in open world) and never given the Untamed a chance; these stinky animations get under my skin 😁

Fun drinking game, take a shot every time muk says 'now'

the weaver hate continues D:

Nature magic eh? Other than empowering the 5 man rez, I'm not sure why this is the play. The elephant in the room with Untamed right now, is how absolutely broken Carnivore is (the gm trait of Wilderness Survival. 2-2-1 is what you see for open world builds). You should give it a whirl Muk. If you think your version is busted, you're in for a treat. Carnivore can go through a deadly golem field with ease.

Oooooh this is cool. I came to love quick untamed from your initial "I tried" series coverage of it, but this one seems to fit my tastes even better. Can't wait to reach SotO to get the expanded weapon mastery required to equip maces on ranger!

I was just getting burned out on soul beast dps. I can't wait to try this.

Hi I found 2 problems in this video. both are small. 1) Mace mechanic. Around 5:12 there is a misinformation. it is not every 5 mace skill. mace skills gives stacks. if it is 5 stack, it will do the reset and damage boost. the difference is: mace 5 gives 2 stacks and ambush/auto attack 3 only gives stacks if you don't have 4 already. and on 5:45 "everything but the 4" is misleading, because it implies that it was 4 that did the reset, but in reality it was the skill used before it. (And 4 was pressed after the reset) 2) Frost trap combo: Why? this build has 2 combo field: 1 ice from the trap and 1 poison from pet unleashed 3. ice+whirl do chill. more chill is good but it is not really matters. ice+mace 3 (blast) gives frost aura (damage reduction) poison+whirl apply poison so it is damage increase (if executed right) and with blast it is weakness. pet unleashed skill 2 also do blast finisher Extra) healing spring: don't forget the utility of condition cleansing and blasting the water field. Also don't forget the minor grandmaster untamed trait: Vow of the Untamed. it gives you damage reduction for the cost of damage reduction, if you ever need to tank something as backup.

Wow Weaver really left a mark didnt it?

I don't usually have a problem with herald but that comes down to just knowing which legend you want to be in at any time and adjusting. This looks interesting though, I haven't done much with my ranger lately so, good excuse as any to try this out for something different.

This is the most fun build in the game, hands down, the only thing that comes close was 2016 power tempest dagger/warhorn

This build is bonkerz. I haven't played SOTO yet so I can't use the maces. (just finished PoF) But hammer + sword/axe is sooo good. The Raptor SUCC attack + Hammer unleached spin2win is the best thing ever. :D

I like it!

Mukluk, thank you very much for sharing, great job, well done!!

What is your opinion on putting one piece of gear in Diviner? When i play full Berserker Q Untamed, I feel like i need to have perfect timing with my quickness rotation but adding some extra boon duration helps on making the tight rotation time feel better.

for what freezing trap if build without marksmanship's last passive for 15% strike dmg?

@MuklukRU-vid What is your opinion on ranger pets? Do you think they need to be reworked? This could be me being mistaken, but the vast majority of pets seem useless (useless is probably too strong of a word, but i cant think of another one right now 😅)

Dumb newbie question but why not mace/mace since you described mace as being more utility? Unsure if I just missed it or ....

I've been playing P Unleashed for a phew months already, without a doubt the best class for open world if you want to fight anything and don't die The only bad thing is the longbow, it's synergy with the ambush attack is not that good but its still usable

This build is very fun! Though I have a hard time giving up my hammer so I go for hammer/mace+mace

This is my fav open world build I have been using :D

Yo, that Weaver DoT is still proc-ing away. Maybe it does work...

can i use this build for support dps in wvw zerg ? just thinking out of box ...

The mace mechanic should have been given to Strength of the Pack. Change my mind.

And now my fav will get nerfed. Ty anyhow for all the amazing videos MUK

I just came back to GW2 after a long break. Just finished up the Icebrood Saga and didn't even realise that I've got access to Maces now. Thanks.

This class looks amazing :o btw I love the hat on for character :)

weaver catching strays left and right :D

is this the moment that caused untamed to get nerfed?

Please can you tell me which food you use, for this build thanks.

Ok, but is it better than weaver?
