Like, how many times does it need to be said? Renegade is basically the other half of our Condi spec. That's it. It's not meant for PvP. It's not meant for WvW. It's a PvE/Raiding specialization that supports the Condi DPS spec. That's it. Traits are a DPS increase and the new Legend will add DPS in a 5 man party over Jalis. Short Bow gives us a ranged option on PvE encounters were melee isn't an option (IE: boss target will evade all melee attacks kinda scenario). It's not going to replace Mallyx or M/A. That's it. That's all there is to it. It's not bad. It's not great. People complaining "Oh noes the F skills are useless!" welcome to the Revenant class where most of our abilities are useless other than channels and weapon ability spam.

I dislike the lack of large scale, rewarding, and repeatable content. I would have really liked it if one (just one) of the zones had been like Silverwastes, player driven (not on timer like HOT) map meta with events. Once completed (masteries, any desired achievements, story, etc) I don't see any reason to play the new maps. Bounties are basically just spawnable Champ Trains which is old content with a new spin. Elementalist Sword sucks. It's auto attacks are slower than 2h weapons for each class.
