Poledra Val.1490 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 So this semi immortal build also needs some slight nerfs, you could pretty much have a bot running it and press every skill 1 through 5 and live for a fairly long period on a node. Bit silly if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrorhuz.4695 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It doesn't need to go, but it needs some interactions between skills so that just spamming them on CD isn't going anywhere. Power mesmer has mirror blade + f1 + mind stab -neither of them is worth a damn, but together they work very well-, war has whatever stun + hundred blades. Renegade doesn't have any of that, and all of the summons are quite strong on their own, so botting on node is rewarding without any specific knowledge of the class.

Tayga.3192 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I think renegade needs number nerfs but mechanic buffs.Shortbow 2 and 3 are useless. Shortbow 4 is semi-useful. In many cases, you are better off spamming 1.Spirits can't be used to or from no-port zones.Spirit AoEs have too much screen clutter. They also need different colors.

Renegade is in a wierd place where its buttons are inconsistent, but when they work, the actual numbers behind them are insane. Have you looked at the numbers on bombardment? When you're not getting screwed by missle spread RNG (which is often), it can one shot a player from full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollbirtan.2915 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Seriously people? It's the FIRST time since POF release when renegade got a seeeeemi viable build in spvp - kalla/retri or kalla/salvation. It is countered by many builds, and it's far from immortal --- summons are all killable. can be CCed, etc. The only thing I agree is the visual clutter - having played the off meta rene on and off for the about 1.5 years, even to myself. the spirits are a hindrance since they make harder to see around you, and are also targetable.The rest of the OP problems, sadly, lay in the 'l2p' or 'just doge' realm.

Tycura.1982 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I like it when they summon the demons. From what I've played against it's really just a matter of not standing in their circles and blocking Mad King Runes. They can't do much to you in Jalis so go ham. That's from a warrior so take that how you will because FC counters the summons hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erzian.5218 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Let's not forget herald. As of right now, almost or perhaps even the entire top 10 in EU is revs. Please don't come with that good players gravitate towards rev bs again. There is clearly a balance issue. It goes so far that people actually force tripple rev in plat2+ ranked queues by queing on different classes and then relogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent.9538 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It's funny some people complain about rens spamming just spamming weapon skills when it is the worst class aside from thief to just spam weapon skills on (hint: weapon skills cost energy leaving less energy for legend skills which generally give much better value on bunker ren).

Double Heralds / FBs - you name it - have been winning MATs for a long time. Just because a class was used by skilled players to win a SINGLE mAT isn't the reason to ask for nerfs. Afaik, you main a mesmer / mirage, so I can somewhat understand your frustration fighting a good renegade since you can't force them of the node, and all those pesky summons are body blocks, making it even harder to target the renegade. Ohh wait....but what about clones? Sound familiar? I'll repeat myself again - the only thing that needs to be toned down now is the cluster kitten that rene's summons produce.

I even asked for mechanical buffs and bugfixes.However current renegade is like core necro, it has "never dodge and spam 1" gameplay. Maybe they should nerf autoattacks and rework 2, 3 and 4.

Crab Fear.1624 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 you know when people are complaining about renegade that has actually never been buffed, but has actually been nerfed we are at a VERY poor state of balance OR, the skill and quality of players in the game is at absolute zero.

Scoobaniec.9561 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Its a trash spec regardless that should never make it into live. Full pve spec. I will cage for days if it get any sort of a nerf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xca.9721 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 As a rev main I was so disappointed when they introduced Renegade, one of the worst specs that came with PoF. All of the utility skills have no interaction with each other, you use them once and thats it. Now that everything has been nerfed (except Renegade) it somehow became viable, but let´s be honest: Fighting a Renegade can be as annoying as pre nerf Mirage with all the vision clutter. I really hope (but highly doubt) that they will rework Renegade one day and make it a spec that is fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not how it works. Saying everything got butchered as bad as Chrono doesn't mean Chrono is any better, it just means everything is bad. This is also how you continue a race to the bottom where everything is absolutely terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
