Untamed
“"Unleashed, unbound—the rage of the Echovald Forest lives in us."
The Untamed share a primal bond with nature through their pet, juggling control of raw power back and forth to defeat foes—your pet uses debilitating nature-based skills to weaken enemies, then relinquishes that power to you for the final strike.
— In-game description
Untamed is an elite specialization for the ranger unlocked with the End of Dragons expansion. The untamed have learned to use the ancient magics of The Echovald Forest to create a deep, primal bond with their pets. They juggle this raw power between one another, unleashing their strength. This also allows the untamed to better control their pets, gaining command over their full range of skills.
Untamed have learned cantrip skills, channelling the power of the forest into defence and offence. They can wield hammers, heavy weapons that change their skills as the ranger or their pet Unleashes, pounding their enemies into dust. Untamed focus on damage dealing and can provide boons to allies.
