GW2 Renegade Open World Build: Slice Through Enemies with Ease

[@gailbrookhart1777]

NEW BUILD! You must be psychic, Johny. I was just thinking the other day that my main Renegade was being neglected. And there comes your new build. Now she can go back out and gather her cooking mats with reckless abandon.

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Nice! Glad I made it just in time then :) You can be as reckless as you want now lol

[@hariken8621]

Thanks for your guide Johny, very interesting as always

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

My pleasure!

[@zumasa9991]

I’ve been looking for a build where I can use both great sword and short bow. I love carrying a big sword but I also love hitting things at a distance when I can’t melee up close. This is awesome

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Glad you liked the build!

[@DanV18821]

Interesting build I shall try it. Good theory rafting.

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

I hope it works well for you!

[@preguicadetu]

thank you for the relic alternatives tab

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

My pleasure!

And here i was soloing all hot hp with a basic pure berzerk dps, now it just got better, amazing builds as always ; Btw, if i run some diviner's for concentration, could it be worth to swap Assassin's Presence (fury every 10s) for Notoriety (Might grants more power) since you get a lot of might no ?

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

I'd keep the Fury as it's very important for this build

[@robertchadwick8853]

Oh didnt know thw wizards tower had the jade bots buffs thxs

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Yeah it was a very nice addition with one of the recent patches

[@danielfreitas9301]

What do you think using some dragon's to get the crit rate up instead of the sigil? Better ferocity and the sigil can be replaced for something else, like Force.

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

That can definitely work :) I went with Valkyrie just to increase the HP even more to make it safter to use even for new players

[@IsSalty]

This looks like an interesting build Johny but I don't have SOTO yet (new player still getting through HOT/POF) so do you have any alternative suggestions to the greatsword?

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Do you have the new expansion, Janthir Wilds?

[@IsSalty]

@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Not yet, I’m about 1 month into the game so I’m still working though POF HOT, I figured there is not much point buying the expansions now as I won’t yet be playing them, and by the time I’ve completed these expansions the game will be on Halloween sale and then I’ll pick up Soto and Janthir on sale. I could buy them now but I’m essentially just buying them to equip a great sword/spear lol

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

In that case, your plan is solid and makes a lot of sense. I'd suggest using Sword / Sword instead of GS. The damage will be less, but should still work with the build very well.

[@IsSalty]

@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Perfect, sword sword is what I was running on herald so easy switch over. Will try the build out tomorrow!

[@triantulas]

Step One. Buy the addon that allows renegade to use greatsword. I used to be a power alac renegade full diviners before the NERF Can i run this build with 2 swords?😊

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

You can! Just FYI, I have a condi spear Renegade build coming in few days if you would rather wait for that one

[@tctekes]

[@Skyyleton]

Also is it me or Renegade is much better as a power build then condi since its rework ?

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Power Renegade got a decent boos indeed

[@El_Carlangas]

Wait a minute, there is a legendary relic now?

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Yes!

[@El_Carlangas]

@@GamingTutorialswithJohny Now that I've checked the requeriments I will try to craft it... I have a mess on the inventory of all my characters.... Thanks for your guides, it's been a while since I played.

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Welcome back to GW2! Good time to do that

[@myselfme767]

Is this build still good?

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Yes, but I have an updated build coming in few days

[@mortwycker]

Renegade's Brutal Momentum trait reduces crit by 10% if you dodge. So if we dodge this is gonna be bad for crit cap. 50% probably isn't enough

[@GamingTutorialswithJohny]

Sure. If you think you'll need to dodge often, you can increase your critical chance a bit
