I'm new to Ranger class, although I have a ranger character but he just park in Dry Top mining Quartz Crystal. One day I watched some random Untamed youtube videos and the ambush skill looks fun, also I wanna get rid of the Level 80 boost on my shared inventory, so I decided to create a new character and experience Untamed myself.
Character created, LV80 boost consumed, joined HP trains, I have a LV80 Untamed with full Celestial gears, adventure awaits!
Firstly I test by doing EoD metas (except DE), HAZZAH! My survivability is so good I barely go to downed state, the animation of ambush skill feels like I'm doing special move busting everyone faces, which is nice but ambush skill better have a timer on somewhere. My CC is great with the Rock Deer pet and warhorn, I'm busy pressing every available skills, I ambush every 15-20 sec, I feel satisfy, like a day of hard work.
Later I test on strike mission. I love doing strike. I played all IBS and EoD strike with Untamed and feel good, a little bit lacking damage power but still feeling good, however some strike group ask me "Can you switch to Soul Beast? Untamed is just ranger with only 2 traits" and my ranger unlocked Untamed only, its too awkward so I quit the group, go collect HP unlock and test out Soul Beast....
Soul Beast rulez dafaq is Untamed doing, Soul Beast just casually out damage Untamed 3k dps, I got why people wants me to play Soul Beast and jokes about Untamed. Later I found out that the whole Untamed trait is just to make sure you stay alive but not much about killing opponent, I think thats the issue, or maybe Untamed is focus on holding position like pvp bunker build so it needs so much sustain I dont know I'm not pvp expert.
I still enjoy Untamed in pve, everything are satisfy just not enough damage to keep up with others, I wish there will be some damage buff in the coming future, maybe lower the ambush cooldown.
