Hogwarts Zebra.8597 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm a relatively new player, with 2 lvl 80s, and i wanna try out revenant. i know it's the hardest to play and most underpowered class, but i'm not looking for a OP meta build, i just want a fun build that doesn't get farmed by everything else out there. does such a build exist for renegade?

Milan.9035 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 take any class and make a random generated build, that build can farm any renegade build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaijinGuy.8476 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I recently made a Revenant and am playing Renegade but have yet to try it out in PvP. I use it in PvE and have done some WvW with it using Rune or Torment for sustain and it does "alright". You cannot use these runes in PvP though so ... yeah ... back to the drawing board.I would suggest playing around with some builds. It seem to be the Renegade is very underwhelming in PvP but you can probably make a build that works (I know I am going to try). Will it be an amazing build that takes you to platinum? Probably not.

Yannir.4132 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I would probably do something along these lines:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQJAVmnXMvNSum7JRZzVlst5rSY3cWJ4beskFUl6PETxXUtC+gSINAOgEA-jJh/gAAXAAv9HEfAAdlBAAReasoning - Condi build obviously. If you go Power, you may as well play Herald. Mainly intended for teamfighting with Shortbow and Renegade Spirits, sustain coming from mobility of Staff/Shiro. Decent point to point mobility so you can do +1's as well even if condi is a bit inefficient for that. Boon rip from Corruption and some re-sustainability from Retribution which also gives you Weakness uptime on your CC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equinox.1463 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 There actually is a "meta" for Renegade, for as much as you can consider it meta... It was used to get an EU player to top 1 in the leaderboards a few seasons ago, and has seen some buffs. It is a very not-new friendly build though, so beware.http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQJAVmnXMvNSum7JRZzVlst5rSY3cWJ4beskFZlSNAWgH4vBvwOkNGyhfA-jZxHABKfEAuuMwY7PA/DAAgLBAA The build sent above is from the person that got into the Top 1 position - Amulet can be menders, marauder's, celestial or avatar. It is a teamfighter/bruiser that can 1v1 under certain circumstances.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwelgm.4315 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Renegade is gonna be awfully hard to play. It has nothing of the usual kit you'd expect for a PvP friendly class, in the sense of also being tractable to newbies and people who are not aware of every safe map spot and conditional positioning. But if you must, in general be sure to take Staff+shortbow and to partake mostly in teamfights. I'd take Shiro for mobility so that you can join in teamfights, wreak havoc, and leave immediately after being focused (similar to ranger but with godly AoE instead of single player focus, and much much less survivability). You can probably be a stone in their shoes and even help your team for real if you have a bunker, but I'd avoid 1vs1 and catching up outside of point unless you know the map well enough to rinse and repeat from battle.EDIT: since you mention revenant in general inside the actual post, if Herald is on the table, do try it first.

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The big problem with renegade right now is that even core rev is better than it. This is because Renegade traits just don't give enough useful stats for PvP, and ancient echo is a more versatile skill than renegades f2-f4 combined. Renegades only good thing is it has lots of might stacks. That's really it. It seriously lacks sustain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutOfOrder.3719 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Please don’t play Renegade in Ranked PvP. Unless you really don’t care about winning. And if you don’t care about winning, you should really stay in Unranked PvP then.You will get a lot of Salt and angry whispers. From me and most players all season long.

Renegade is not as bad as everybody says. It just gets outperformed by other teamfighters, but a good renegade can contribute quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can kill the NPCs without dieing, it means a list of things; Your build has good AoEyour build has good sustainYou as a player know who to focus firstYour build has good AOE CCand if you beat them without breaking a sweat, your build may be OPIf you think it isn't a benchmark, then that's just like... your opinion man.I've used it to test many a build and I can assure you, if your build doesn't work there, it won't work anywhere.And as with regards to the Renegade build.... well.... I guess I'll just let M A S E keep proving everyone wrong then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no one stronger than a necro when it comes to damage carry builds.Necro is not a sidenoding class, if that's what you're getting at, and trying to play it as one will only lead to disappointments. I mean beating warriors is easy enough but anything that relies on evasion as its primary method of avoiding damage will rip you another one pretty fast.
