Renegade isn't bad right now, but with the introduction of Secrets of the Obscure and Janthir Wilds, allowing access to shield, greatsword and spear, there are far more optimal choices as far as weapons go, power Ren is more likely to run tye hammer/sword shield setup right now, while condi would run spear. Unfortunately shortbow is a weapon that has fallen short in the balancing, although it isn't the most interactive weapon so that may be for the best.
Spanish: esta version usando a kalla me agrada mas que en lugar de jalis, usando bien las habilidades de kalla mete mas daño, el tema es saber usarlo y rotarlo, en 1 vs 1 es posible eh logrado vencer dragon hunters y warriors con exito... de todos modos se requiere algo de practica
I don't know who these people are who say the build is "still viable" it's so ridiculously underpowered it almost makes me wanna cry. The DAMAGE is non-existent. Even sevenshot followed by citadel bombardment with Impossible Odds takes away a meta class' 3rd of total hp, that's without bearing in mind the fact that every single meta class now spams block/aegis and has insane condi cleanse. Oh and let's not forget Eles being the main player in this meta, so get ready for AoE projectile block and magnetic auras 24/7. This build is dead, sorry, but it's true. 1/5
Still does okay, but the powercreep has pushed it out of the meta. I'd still consider this slightly above average, but only slightly. Perfectly viable for ranked, but there are better specs out there.
Herald may be meta, but this build is overall much more versatile in soloq. You can side node, or put out huge aoe damage mid. Tons of CC and reasonably tanky. There's just so much you can do with this.
Rediculously versatile with unparalleled damage output, amazing mobility, powerful team support and reasonable sustain. The go-to for win.
Sevenshot is likely to get nerfed on either damage or cooldown, nonetheless this build quite defines the idea of being a glass canon. It can beat condition builds too but through very hard earned efforts and predictions, otherwise it gets countered quite easily by such as confusion or poison because of the amount of key presses required to be effective and healing being very limited. With all the projectile reflect their can be as well from what appears to be mostly condition builds too, it's weaknesses are not glaring but noticeable. It can hold it's own and even points depending on the match up, against certain 1v2's it can turn the tides quite fast from foes that are not wary of the burst and the ability to safely stomp.
