Mell.4873 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) The new Untamed build on the block is permanently keep your pet unleashed and spam F1-F3 off-cooldown due to Fervent Force (while swapping in and out for certain skills). With that in mind there is no time to even hit Pet skills, so my question is what pet should I run? Untamed kind of turned the pet into accessory and you can literally run anything without lowering your DPS numbers by much. I see the Iboga is the most popular due to its auto attack but are there any other suggestions? Edited August 9, 2022 by Mell.4873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie.5370 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Anything other than Iboga is a giant DPS loss, if that's what you care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it was reported on all the Benchmark websites that its the best due to the auto attack. Then I compared it, it does seem to be ever so slightingly higher.

GWstinkt.6094 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Jacaranda and Rock Gazelle seem to be decent choices on land. Iboga still seems to be top dps though. Maybe there's some other niche pet currently being overlooked that happens to synergize really well with untamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I use tiger for the F2 fury in melee. Guaranteed to not be meta though since I'm so very casual. Still, I like the synergy with Sw/D in melee with tiger. F2 for fury, unleash for sword ambush then swap back for F1-F3 skills on unleashed tiger. Repeat. /shrug Works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowTurtle.3542 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 For condi untamed, condi alac untamed, and power alac untamed, ALWAYS ilboga. It's a flat DPS loss to take any other pet, since the ramp up with the autoattack does more than any other pet. The second pet can be whatever utility you need, but be warned white tiger is an alluring but often poor choice due to the lobotomy bug going on with EoD pets where they don't do anything for upwards of 30s when swapping to them. I'd reccomend brown bear for an extra group condi cleanse or (if you somehow needed it) electric wyvern for more CC (rock gazelle takes too long to line up its attacks, but if you really wanted to use it you could). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyreva.1078 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Iboga's dmg output is heavily reliant on having many conditions on the target. When there aren't many different condis, eg in a solo situation, it tends to get outperformed by cats (and maybe a few other pets, but i haven't tested anything else yet). Among the cats i prefer the Jaguar, because it's F2 skill is a nice dmg buff which does not have a cast time, so you don't have to worry about that skill getting canceled or wasted. Also putting pet skills on autocast will allow the pet to use them while being unleashed (which is ridiculous when you think about it - manual control should only be limited by the player's ability to press those buttons, not straight worse regardless of player performance - and yet here we are ...)

Ilboga both in golem and in practice is a dps increase from every other pet in structured pve content, which seems to be what OP is asking about. Cats are fine for pvp, but pve ilboga or bust.

Mell.4873 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will play around with it. I will probably pick something that has high health for the second pet incase Iboga dies for some reason. Honestly the rotation is so packed so much with skills I will barely have time to even use the pet skills. Even if I need CC, the cooldown reduction based on CC will probably account for more than any pet can preform.

InsaneQR.7412 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Tbh anything with a reliable Cc or utility is good. Jacaranda gives AoE damage. Gazelle has good CC. SS has stealth field. The EoD armadillo has poison and good cc. Turtle has a good reflect. Spiders have an immob and a poisonfield. Drakes have tailswipe for burst finisher.
