Renegade/Greatsword Loop 2

Be careful using this skill near the edges of platforms, such as on Xera or the final boss of the Chaos fractal as the forced movement can send you over the edge.
- outputs a large amount of total breakbar damage but over a long duration (6 seconds). This is best used as a tool to minimize damage from groups of trash mobs, or if you don't need instantaneous breakbar contribution.
- If you use this, replace and one use of .
- should be used only as a last resort due to the large energy cost for relatively low CC output compared to your other options.
