As I was saying in the other comment, carnivore is also quite good and may be worth considering especially seeing how you preferred trailblazer in your older vids. Here is a clip of me face tanking this boss without using any movement key or dodges with carnivore trait and only birthday cake for food and no utilities or infusions, with only a low dps turtle pet without swapping, and it's only about 3 seconds slower with 9:25 left on timer instead of 9:28. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tWiGl66IoJOklYI

I did some more testing to be sure, and I was seeing in the ballpark of 25% longer kill times where the additional defense doesn't come into play. And outside of tougher bounties, it doesn't. Admittedly, we're splitting hairs here. If your top end DPS in a champ solo is 28k that's still better than almost any build out there and 25% longer than a sub-30 second kill time is still a fairly insignificant amount of time. I just prefer the extra damage in most cases and I don't find a big difference in damage or sustain by simply swapping ferocious symbiosis for restorative strikes on the marksman build when compared to a carnivore setup.

It's wild how much the difficulty of this HP can change depending on your build/class. It's the hardest counter to melee builds that I think exists in this game to the point where I've only ever been able to do it on condi Deadeye and Salvation Vindicator pre-nerf. Any class with range has a relatively easy time though, this is a fight where I would especially suggest trying out hybrid Axe untamed. Axe mainhand in both sets lets you fire off the ambush back to back, and due to the very high power and condition damage of Axe, that lets you effortlessly float at a medium range and stay safe from the AoE nightmare.

I prefer melee playstyles. It isn't always the safest or easiest way to go, but I can usually make it work. This is definitely one boss where a ranged weapon would come in handy, though!

@@HardcoreCasualGW2 I have written up like 6 different variations of the same comment over your past two videos lol, they keep getting deleted I guess because I put a build link in them. I advocate pretty hard for an ultimate QoL hybrid Untamed build that uses axe mainhand in both sets, running Let Loose with We Heal As One and Nature Magic for 100% uptime of all boons except Aegis and Alacrity, with so much sustain it rivals Restorative Strikes, while still managing to hit very high DPS numbers. Definitely won't have the same tremendous burst as Power, but being able to manage packs of tough enemies like in higher tier Fractals, or longer fights like Bounties with plenty of breathing room and tons of ways to recover from mistakes. I think more than anything it's also a more FUN way to play Untamed, I love power Ranger but it definitely feels best-suited to group content, hybrid Untamed feels so sturdy and confident. Plus it all plays at melee range anyway so it maintains that good feeling melee tactility. Might be something to try out if you reach the upper ceiling of power Untamed and want to experiment with something new.

@@CarnaghSidhe I think if you need extreme sustain it's hard to beat carnivore + restorative strikes. But most of the time I don't find I need extra sustain and marksmanship with ferocious symbiosis deals significantly higher damage. Also, marksmanship with restorative strikes is stronger than carnivore by itself for sustain, deals similar damage, and has much better CC due to moment of clarity. So, I'm all in on markmanship unless restorative strikes isn't enough sustain by itself, but I see wilderness survival and nature magic as perfectly viable alternatives that offer better sustain at a cost in damage output.

@@enternius That's too bad. I'd be curious to see the build. What kind of DPS would you say you see in solo with hybrid? I really haven't tried anything but power so far.
