Agree with Obtena.7952 - Torment is still the best option for a Condi rune. And as for survivability (and if you don`t want to change your build (traits options)), can suggest to try equipment with Healing Power stats, say Apothecary's - mix or full.

I could be wrong, but think that we are talking about exactly champ/bounty solo content because ordinary OW PVE is soloable almost for every Spec.

If game was an utter joke and boring due to it for you - that does not mean the same to others. At your opinion, earlier they did it another way? Partially agree as it depend on Spec, Build and Player`s experience. We never had god mode in GW2. Any who spent much time on everyday practice had much better result with the same gear and build. I am not a big fan of Rev or Scourge, but as solo player, I feel sad that my colleagues from pool of one of the most strongest solo Specs being treated this way.

Of course not as Mirage more versatile Spec than RSF.

Mirage has one of the highest survival rate in game.

You're very kind, thank you.

I don't view breakbars as an important piece of my strategy, because another way I need to make some changes to my build and playstyle for this - what for if BB have no any impact on battle situation? I am interested in far more stronger bosses than one of the easiest. And, sorry, I don't participate in speed-racing-kill competition - it is about highly specialized builds I don`t need because of its limited application area.

Ok. It cannot be more important in solo since making your build gameplay through breakbars is very strange option - if you can solo, you can do it without breakbars option thus making your choice in favour of another damage/evade/heal skill/utility. One unique situation when you can build your gameplay with addition of breakbars (having such intention) - if your main build has enough related skills itself. Not sure how much Specs can be build in such way not losing in another, more preferred options. Moreover, I didn`t have any breakbars-dependent solo battle in a 2 year.

In fact this option might be need in group but less important in solo.

It is a normal situation for a little experience player. You need time and practice. As for builds - as a good start point you can look at Hizen`s all classes overview: link here (Open World PVE Builds Playlist)

Nothing to do with reality. Full Bers - the worst choice for solo champions.

Ok, thank you.

Had you chance to try Harbinger ? And if yes, any thoughts about SC vs HB ? Thank you.

But I think Ren is more player`s skill-dependent spec than Scourge and from context of TS question seems it can be issue.

Share my point of view: Pure Damage: Renegade -> Mirage -> Scourge Pure Sustain: Mirage -> Scourge -> Renegade

Good luck to you, my Mirage bro )

And what`s your main class?

No., what for ? )))) And don't be angry, please, I have no any intention to quarrel and it is sometimes, maybe, my explains don`t meet right context as English not my native lang ) Sorry, but I always said that Renegade is one of the strongest solo Spec ) I can say only about OW PVE as I have no any experience in fractals, raids etc. because of time. And as I said on this forum previously (in relevant themes), to my mind, based on my experience, Mirage is the most versatile choice as solo Spec. Thank you, Daddy and sorry if I've offended you.

It depends on the numbers of combats and I am glad that we move in right direction - we have no any other way to say about real build than try it in as much as possible combats (different). It was not only Weaver (you), but FB, Scourge and Chrono was in less than minute timing – it cannot be a coincidence, Balth is one of the easiest Champ. Sure, as I said previously, there are a lot of mechanics and its combinations, it`s the same what you mean saying “can't simply choose one boss and extrapolate to all bosses“. Agree. I don`t know as have no chance to see Ren combat with Coztic. Thank you for comments.

Sorry, but I don`t think you have enough solo experience if say this. Just three moments: 1. There are too much mechanics and its combinations (+ some of it is random) to make equal sign between two bosses with different HP. 2. Balthazar one of the easiest Champ (Elysima, am I wrong ? :) ) I remembere that it was even the sort of competition who kill B faster - it was several results less than 1min (30-50sec) 3. You can kill Balthazar but have much more troubles with Ezal - it`s totaly two different playstyle bosses.

Spec "on paper" not equal Spec in combat. I don`t discuss spec "on paper", it is not interesting to me. That is why I cannot refute any of arguments you told about - you are right ("on paper"). If I`m subscriber of Hizen`s channel I`m obviously quite satisfied with his work otherwise what for? ) Versatile solo build has to be able to prove itself equally well with Champ in Kessex Hills and Bounty in Elon Riverlands. That is why we say about it either it most or less versatile (stronger) solo build. Hizen's video is a good test case, but: 1. It is only 8 bosses. How much Champ/Bounty/Legendary in OW PVE we have - 8, 10, 15, 100? I cannot say about Build1 is the most versatile because of only ~3% or less of bosses. And every Spec has enough number of Champ that is harder to deal with than Legendary. 2. All the same 8 bosses (and even more) he did with all spec in his Best <Spec> Build For Open World PVE series. 3. Ezal is not a better test, Ezal is just one more, another test. And he is quite good as an basic example of Champs that I guess can picked Ren's "on paper" arguments to pieces. It was just as an example not so important in context. 15-20. But not so sure about EVERY spec. No, it cannot be "no any difference". If your Elysima take 1min with Boss_X and some Ren take 1.5 or 2min (for example) it is difference. If your Elysima can win 8 of the10 the same Boss_X and some Ren 4 of the10 - it is difference, etc. I`ve seen enough (same often than any other spec) "top tier super-Ren" (80lvl) on the ground vs not top-tier Varre, Ezal, Ruye, Temvay, Aerl, Flyrra, don`t even say about PoF/HoT maps. Say hello to Elysima 🤩

As a subscriber of both your and Hizen`s YT channels I know about this videos. Versatile solo buld has to be able to prove itself equally well with Champ in Kessex Hills and Bounty in Elon Riverlands (for example). That is why we say about it either it most or less versatile (stronger) solo build. If one build successfully deal with both Toxic Spider Queen and Matriarch Talonslayer (for example) and other even more successful with TSQ (say, deal more DPS) but have way bigger problems with MT - the first build is more versatile (stronger). I truly respect you, your experience as solo player and your point of view - the same I have heard on previous page. That is ok. I don`t think so and don't take any "on paper" arguments seriously.

Thank you, I have no more questions about super-Renegade.

All this is relevant to any other spec X - most people can't play it optimally ) We're all in the same boat...

As a basic-level warm-up: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Ezal_the_Quick I am waiting video with Ren`s super-abilities, outshining any other spec. Thank you.
