Railing on the tempest is pretty off topic, but I couldn't disagree more with your conclusions about tempest. Besides being one of the most functional elite specs in the game, it's also an enjoyable variation of the base class. That's the whole point of an elite spec imho - to be an effective and enjoyable variation. They work best when they synergize with the other trait lines and open up build opportunities. Tempest is actually a great example of an elite spec that you can run with virtually every other trait line and be effective. Renegade, however, really locks you into one playstyle and i'm not even sure it does that very well. It's easily the most discombobulated elite spec in the game atm. A mid range weapon with aoe utility skills and wtf are those F skills? The only way to fix the spec is to rethink a lot of it, and that's never going to happen. When the most effective way to play the new elite spec is to not even use the legend...you might have a problem.
