RENEGADE - One Revenant Build for Guild Wars 2 Open World PvE, WvW, PvP | Jalis Guide

[@mariofernandezramirez5603]

I only watch the pvp part of these videos, i loved this and the daredevil one, what a beautiful way of playing

[@tarrantfarm]

Even with the changes to EOD, this build still rocks. Honestly I feel even stronger, or maybe I'm just getting the hang of it better.

[@principal-videojuegos6666]

i really love to watch your videos. I got into pvp with you and your videos have carried me all the way to be a plat player. Thank you for all the work you put to keep the pvp community alive.

[@juanpunch2793]

Look at these boons, man 17:59. Better than what you see be applied in some 10 man raid squads. Rev is the king of solo play.

[@abdurrahmanismail1549]

I honestly love how you're just slapping celestial stats left and right hahahahaha, luckily since the 80 booster change this is a definite go-to guide for new players. Keep it coming my guy!

[@Vallun]

didnt really think of it that way, but you know thats pretty nice

[@smoov5046]

Ever since they improved cele, 75% of my toons run cele, cele let's the build define it instead of it's gear, I love it in open world, combined with sigil of the stars to get even more of a buff, just really makes you notice how your build affects your gameplay. Plus it's beefy. 😄

[@timlpld9784]

@@smoov5046 it's actually super cool, you get a nice all-round build and it even lets you start in wvw

[@Skev_]

I'm really bad at this game. You've helped me be slightly less bad at this game.

[@raramstad]

I'm a bit late to the gw2 party and this video, but thanks for making these guides! I've watched a lot of your videos. I was referred by Caffeinated Dad. I really like the breakdown of the rotation you do where you explain it, then actually perform it while explaining again on the training dummy. This made me realize that a ton of spells don't have cast times haha! Your initial .2 seconds was like 4 abilities I couldn't believe it.

[@sundoel]

your guide absolutely fit on my Reveanant, i still need to learn more about the skill rotation, but so far i can survive much longer and win in many condition better than before, Thank you so much Master Vallun :D

[@ryukjoga]

That's what i was looking for. I just got renegade elite spec, playing rev isn't so fun like ren with shortbow and i'll probably main this class from now on ❤️

[@cethseven]

Dear Vallun, please stop making Celestial Equipment Guides. My Charged Quartz doesn't add as fast as you publish your Vids. Sincerely, me.

Can't wait to see it, was waiting for this video to gear my rev!

[@Neocharm]

Thanks for the video Vallun. Definitely going to try this one

[@adrianeu3076]

I'm working towards this build and even though I do not have full ascended celestial gear (mostly exotic celestial), I'm feeling pretty tanky and the sustain is quite good. One question: Is this build viable in more difficult content such as raids or strike mission? I haven't gone into that yet, and I have been looking at metabattle or snowcrow for build that use celestial.. however, most of them are recommending short bow and mace/axe. So I'm not sure how different it would be when I'm in raid

[@Vallun]

a build that is meant to be good everywhere vs a build that is meant to optimize for one specific game mode, of course there will be differences and if you want to be optimal at one thing you need to build for it

[@adrianeu3076]

@@Vallun okay thanks!

[@leigheros1003]

Interesting, I haven't played my Renegade in OW for a while but I used to use Trailblazer's gear and Malyx a lot (occasionally using Dwarf to solo champs). But maybe the torment change and Kalla Elite skill healing cap made that a less viable option. It wasn't as defensive as this build is but still had great sustain.

[@SeuRafinha]

trying to decide my new main between guardian or rev... I'm dad and don't have much much time to "study" a class deeply. The thing is... I really like the rev concept but I find kind of difficult to deal with energy. But I'm more willing to develop more in a class. What do you recommend to play? I play pvp/fractals/wvw roaming

[@Vallun]

rev and guardian are both great in all of those situations, so definitely stick to rev if you like it and just get some practice using rev, its all about feeling your energy management

[@Bearpapa1214]

hi.. is this build still work now? i did folow all the build as your, but my skill dun have swiftnees at all, anything i miss? or after patch it was change???

[@jeffreysyre6981]

Hey Vallun, with the most recent changes and since staff is rarely used..mainly for open world, would it be best to just have (2) shortbows equipped so you can still get swap effects and keep up the dps? If this makes sense, what sigils would you use?

[@Vallun]

it doesnt make sense at all, the swap sigils can just be replaced with on crit sigils which are comparable in effect, withou losing the utility of an entire weapon when you need it

[@accero1]

Is rune of the renegade viable here? and also, is staff the only decent choice for second weapon?

[@frequeno]

@Vallun are you sure you are not a revenant?...cuz its like you channeled Leonardo da Vinci and your builds are an artistic and ingenious marvel.

[@craftycraff7938]

Vallun, could you breakdown the reasoning to go for celestial over trailblazer? I’m curious because celestial might be a more flexible option for walking to Herald.

[@draxthor921]

+1 for this question

[@JustPixelNoIDontWantAnyNumbers]

Its probably for the Boon Duration, since you throw out quite a lot of Boons with the Build, also Renegade can make good use of virtually every stat on Celestial, so you dont really waste any Stats on it, just my guess though

[@heymer38]

What sigil can we replace the sigil of doom after the legend swapping bug fix? I personally changed it to sigil of earth, but am open for some more suggestions.

[@samuelvine]

I'm intrigued by this build, but I have been working on a Cele Tempest that is really cool and strong too. Between the Cele Tempest or this Cele Renegade which would you recommend for more effective solo play?

[@Vallun]

renegade

[@DanielDanielsen]

Thank You! It completely changed my opinion on renegade. I am still struggling to find a good build for my Ranger. Tried the one you posted but it just doesn't do it for me.

[@Luigi.Rinaldi-1995]

Fantastic video and explanations

[@mikgw2114]

I think there must be a mistake in the description, it says longbow and shield for pvp? Might be a mix up with a different build?

[@Vallun]

yea i just put up the video so that the premiere would be advertised but i didnt quite finish the video info so it was still the DH video copied, fixing now

[@brenobarbosa3489]

This video is not on the Rev Playlist ^^ great content

[@ChaoticNeutralMatt]

That was a really cool opening.

[@GrandLapika]

The effect on your Bow, is that from the Bow itself because of Legendary Weapon or ist that some cosmetic change from Shop? Looks really cool!

[@Vallun]

chuka the legendary

[@randomradar6926]

Oh man can’t wait

[@johnwong2305]

Love all your videos! Thoughts on antitoxin rune for wvw? The only time I typically struggle is vs certain condis 1v1 or when outnumbered, it’s the condis that are more of the struggle. Thanks!

[@Vallun]

antitoxin is good but not on this build, you want it with builds with lots of small cleanses, this only has the legend swap. Go for something that works better with the high resolution uptime like condition reduction on hoelbrak or even resistance rune still

[@johnwong2305]

Ah makes sense. I also use sigil of generosity - which I think works with antitoxin and also it’s nice on the swap to staff and the staff cleanse. I’ve got legendary armor though so will definitely give durability a go. It’s such a clutch rune for roaming.

[@Vallun]

@@johnwong2305 with generosity anti toxin could be good yea

[@Greedman456]

Great video as usual. Waiting for the bot prison video😀

[@tsdean1980]

Hows the build go with battlescars nerf? still worth making?

[@alphajai3204]

any updates to the One Revenant Build after EOD?

[@ysilthrones3003]

What are your thoughts on using Superior Runes of Leadership? Do we not switch to Righteous Rebel for Fractals/Raids for perma alacrity? Without the extra boon duration from Runes of Leadership I feel like we don't have enough boon duration to keep alacrity up.

[@Vallun]

yes you would swap to righteous rebel for fractals, you do get extra boon duration from durability runes, not as much as leadership, but in fractals you gain boon duration from the agony resist mastery no? if not then you could easily replace it with leadership if thats your priority

[@ysilthrones3003]

You are right but only if you use Mist Mobility Potions. I forgot about that. Ty for the great guide, love the contents of your channel.

[@butcherozo]

This looks so cool! But is there some good build for Revenant, that uses 2x 1h swords? And not Celestial gear ^^" For Open World, or Fractals - i'm kinda into swords guy...

[@Vallun]

try the power herald build from my wvw playlist its fine there

[@zukii1294]

Any other melee weapon to replace staff for more aggresive build? Amazing content by the way. Been following most of your build since i started playing few months ago.

[@briansmith301]

Maybe sword/sword

[@smoov5046]

I use sword/axe, but sword/sword let's you go dual lightsabers, which is content in itself.

[@christopherbackus5578]

I use mace/axe, but my runes and food are condi focused. Could do sword/axe or sword/sword. Celestial is super flexible.

[@flawlessvic]

jiminy....the swapping and maxing of energy usage is wild. I need to git gud ha

[@MrBluetini]

Would you rate nightmare runes with this build? I've already got them in the gear from a different build not really wanting to lose them.

[@Vallun]

the premise of the build is convenience, and those runes arent too big a difference, so i wouldnt worry about getting durability, but of course i would never use nightmare runes with this build if given the option

[@danm4960]

does the extra toughness from durability say for example make you prime target from the boss in raids and fractals?

[@Vallun]

it absolutely can if the tank does not have more toughness than you, or you can just learn to tank

[@anurandoloi4745]

Hey Vallun, since this one and your herald build uses almost the same gear, can i just run this build with leadership runes in wvw?

[@Vallun]

yes

[@randomradar6926]

Wow u can’t believe is full cele nice 1

[@Mallisun]

I just need to know if you have updated this build since the patch or is the same build since a year ago? Thank you.

[@Vallun]

if any of the builds are updated it would be done in the link to the build page on guildjen.com, otherwise the playstyle information in the video is the same

[@Mallisun]

@@Vallun thank you ❤

[@wildanpriyana]

Why are u using durability runes instead the leadership runes like your celestial herald build? Is there any difference? Is it bad if use the leadership runes in the renegade build?

[@Vallun]

mostly because the condition cleanse from leadership was good for the herald build, i dont care much for the difference in boon duration between the two, but durability rune is not as necessary on the herald which has pulsing protection

[@Nooctae]

What's your take on the Malyx / Corruption version ? I tend to run that, never tried invocation jarlis for open world.

[@Vallun]

invocation essentially gives you fury, vigor from fury, swiftness, and tons of energy to get all the other boons from skills, corruption makes you move at snails pace and do slightly more dmg to enemies who stand still

[@Nooctae]

@@Vallun I made a few gear swaps on my rev, tried invocation jarlis on a tour of solo'ing HoT HPs, god damn, it does feel a LOT better to play than Malyx. Having stab from the road and protection from the spirits ( instead of the shortbow trait ) was a big improvement in just lazy QoL. I wish I had known about that a while ago.

[@Vallun]

lol yea i also solod mai trin tier 4 with this build, and that fractal is pretty yikes. forgot why i didnt add that to the vid as it was the true limits of the build

[@Twilight5007]

Dumb question, but would you say this, DH, or something is a more fun "ranged" build to play? I tend to like playing ranged damage dealers, but so far everyone in forums or discords just say ranged is bad and its all about melee.

[@Vallun]

i would say dh is a more melee oriented build, this one is pretty much ranged, so i would say stick to this one

[@huydo637]

What if we use Torment Runes? Will it heal better and synergy with the Malyx Elite & shortbow also has lots of torment as well? :3

[@Vallun]

torment runes are ok but theyre a bit expensive and will overcap your torment duration whereas traveler will give you all condition duration which is nice for burning and bleeding, and the movement speed is way better than being slow but having more sustain when you already have good sustain from parasitic contagion

[@huydo637]

the build is still good and you can do the same before the nerfs?

[@Vallun]

it was obscenely overpowered before, so i figure with nerfs its still good

[@TH3SK8T3R125]

Would you recommend this for group content too? Like dungeons, strikes, fractals

[@yourface8485]

Celestial and skills offering personal sustain are never for group content. So..no not really. Look at snowcrows for group stuff.

[@danm4960]

is there much difference between using exotics and ascended with this build?

[@Vallun]

there is but not to the point of mattering, if you have ascended use it, if you dont use exotic
