Tarisland Ranger Beast Tamer build – talents, stats, and rotation

The Ranger class in Tarisland is a very strong ranged DPS class, featuring two very different styles of play. The Beast Tamer is a unique specialisation with its hyper-mobile builder-spender-type rotation involving pets, alongside a unique party buff spell on your 4th skill.

If you want a more mobile, simpler, and supportive playstyle, the Beast Tamer is a great DPS class to master and perform well in our Tarisland Tier List. Expect a closer look at talent builds, rotations, and a rundown on the stats you need to complete the build. If you want to take a look and compare this to our Hunting Ranger Build, you can do

Tarisland’s Beast Tamer Ranger build

In summary, the Beast Tamer is the Ranger spec you start the class with. Its main ability is to build and spend your spec mechanic “Collaboration”, which allows you to spawn your pet companions where most of your damage comes from. To do so, you’ll mainly be using your 1 skill “Wild Shot” to generate Collaboration while your second skill “Viper Shot” is a DoT effect. You then send your pets out with your 3rd button “Summon Companion” once you’ve filled the bar and continue to cycle through 1 and 2 until you have Collaboration for 3. Your 4th skill “Beast Power” is a nice damage buff for the party’s attack power, which you’ll use off cooldown. The 5th skill “Arrow of Storm” is a standard AOE, while the 6th skill “Wild Union” boosts your combo and damage.

Depending on the talent build you choose, there are two different playstyles. The first is your dog buffing build. The other is turning Viper Shot into Hornet Shot for some more enhanced DoT stacking damage which relies on charges. Both playstyles work, however, Hornet is slower to play and relies on proper tracking of cooldown and stacks. For the sake of the build, we’ll be showing you the pet spam build as it is much friendlier to play, offers more support utility for raids and parties, and is a more mobile and fluid playstyle in general. All pure DPS will love you for your buff, and your raid leaders will love giving you jobs to do. If you’re a PvPer, you’re being a rascal kiting and having a blast. What is not to love?

Beast Tamer rotation

Your rotation will typically be:

1. Use skill 2.
2. Spam skill 1 until you reach max Collaboration.
3. Use skill 3.
4. Use skill 4 for party buff and to buff your ATK power for dogs.
5. Use skill 6 (if available)
6. Spam skill 1.
7. Use skill 2 on cooldown.
8. Spam skill 1 until Collaboration and repeat until resets happen.

Use the inscribed stone as soon as you can when you can get the most out of it per boss phasing, stuns, or other mechanics. This shortens the amount of time you spam your Wild Shot for faster animal companion spam, ramping your damage higher as a result.

This rotation also takes into account the core passive talents and other talents you choose, which we’ll get into now.

Beast Tamer Talent build

As mentioned, this talent build allows you to focus on improving your buff for higher damage multiplicative, alongside making your unique support buff even better. It also covers the main focus of your damage, which are Animal Companions. The build order below is the order you want to get your talent as you level and unlock more.

• Wild Shot x3 – Wild Shot deals 30% more base damage and the Collaboration Rating is increased by 3.
• Wild Desire x3 – The effect of Beast Power lasts 1 second longer. While it is active, your direct damage skills deal additional damage equal to 75% of your ATK every time you hit the target.
• Pattern Enhance or Beast Sweep x3 – One is an AOE and pet damage modifier for packs. The other is flat damage for your pets. Change the build depending on whether you’re boss-killing or pack-killing per raid or dungeon theme.
• Beast Resonance x3 – Combo rate increased by 3%. Getting this now should give you enough combo to reach the second row of the Associate Combo core passive talent, presuming you’ve been getting lucky with Combo gear.
• Viper Hunting x2 – Your Beasts deal 8% more damage to enemies affected by Viper Shot.
• Ambition x3 – Wild Shot has a 54% chance to give you and your Beasts a 6% haste buff. While this is active, you gain Collaboration per second.
• Beast Power x2 – Beast Power lasts for an additional 3 seconds and its effect is increased by 2%.
• Call of the Wild x2 – For every Summon Companion you cast, the remaining cooldown for Beast Power is reduced by 7.5%.
• Wild Union+ x2 – Base cooldown of Wild Union is reduced by ten seconds and the duration is increased by two seconds.
• Wild Spirit x2 – The Collaboration Rating granted by Wild Union is increased by 20, and the combo rate is granted by 5%.
• Wild Bond x3 – Summon Companion now has a 10% chance of summoning two companions of the same type.
• Wild Combo x3 – When your beast companion is active, your Combo damage is increased. When there are no beasts, you gain combo rate by 3%.

You should have one talent point spare. Feel free to use this on Wild Finish for some bonus execute damage on your 1 skill, or place that point into Viper Association for some extra passive Collaboration. It depends more on your style and where you’re at with your stats.

Beast Tamer Stat Priority

In terms of your stat priority, you want to look at the following:

1. Combo
2. Omni and Cooldown
3. Dexterity
4. Crit
5. Hit

Combo is a needed stat, as it can combo your Wild Shots. Comboing Wild Shots means more Collaboration. It also grants a flat damage increase to your pets when it combos too. That damage scales with more Combo at 16%, 25%, 34%, 42%, and 50%. Aim to get 50% from your gear and your Inscribed Stone as then you get even more multiplicative damage on your pets, which is what the build is all about anyway.

Next is Omni. The Wild Collaboration Core Passive grants you bonus damage when you summon pets by the Omni percentage x 100 for 4 seconds. This is essentially used alongside your Beast Power to ramp your damage. When you reach the 6%, 11.5%, and 15.6% Omni milestones, you get more Collaboration Rating returns for every pet you cast. Your rotation gets slightly smaller with filler, and you get more pets. More pets equals more damage boosts through Beast Power resets via your talent build, alongside the buffs from the Combo core passive.

Cooldown is another nice stat for the next core passive. It increases combo damage of your pets by your cooldown percentage x 20. It’s not as important for this playstyle because it’s mainly for Hornet Shot resets. But it does offer decent combo potential for your dogs. Passively get this to get a slightly faster Viper Shot spread on multiple targets, and to lower the CD of Beast Power and Wild Union further.

Dexterity is a flat damage increase, so you want that on your gear when you hit the Omni and combo milestones.

Crit is a nice stat for crit combos, more pet damage, and passive DPS increase on your Viper and Wild Shots.

Hit is a stat you want on your gear per the content you’re doing. Check the dungeon and raid journal for the instance’s required hit rating so you can reliably hit the boss and enemies in that instance the best you can.
