Overview

The condition alacrity Renegade build for raids and fractals. The basic rotation is similar to the DPS build, but made slightly trickier by the need to adjust each section depending on whether Orders from Above will come off cooldown during it. It trades the CC of Power Alacrity Renegade for slightly more DPS on long phases, as well as higher ranged damage. It excels against large stationary bosses where it can hit with every missile of Citadel Bombardment.

In fractals, this build can also provide Might with Heroic Command.

Be aware that the gear has a lot of toughness, so you will need to tank or make sure the intended tank can surpass yours.

Trait Variants

• Taking All for One is a ~3% DPS loss, but provides your subgroup with a good amount of Protection.

Traitline Variants

Devastation will do more damage on small hitboxes, and provides a great amount of Vulnerability, self-healing, and Assassin's Presence for your subgroup. However, it has less energy to play with which makes it harder to provide extra utility (particularly relevant in fractals).

• Replace Assassin's Presence with Thrill of Combat if you have someone else in the party providing AP, or you need more survivability when tanking.

• In fractals you will gain extra boon duration from potions, so you can swap your food and utility to dps options, then replace Celestial gear with Viper - make sure to keep yourself above 78% boon duration or you will not be able to maintain Alacrity solo!

Providing Alacrity

Each of the sections above (excluding the opener) will change if Orders from Above comes off cooldown during that section:

• On Kalla, skip Icerazor's Ire at step 13.
• On Mallyx, you essential switch to the devastation rotation for this section - Resist the Darkness after the pulse from step 7, then reactivate it again just before step 10 (essentially as soon as you are able to).

Alacrity on Devastation

For Devastation, use the same opener as above, then follow the Build:Renegade_-_Condi_DPS rotation with the following changes when Orders from Above comes off cooldown:

• On Kalla, skip the first Icerazor's Ire.
• On Mallyx, Resist the Darkness after the pulse from the first Spiritcrush. Then Embrace the Darkness at the same point you usually would.

In all rotations, you should be using Orders from Above as soon as it comes off cooldown.

General Tips

• You will want to delay Orders from Above slightly if the group is not stacked together (for example, if it comes off cooldown near the end of the split phase at Vale Guardian, you should save it for when everyone is back together).
• Charged Mists is the reason we run Invocation, and it requires you to be under 10 energy when you switch legends. If you reach the point when you need to switch, and are above 10 energy for whatever reason, you can use Heroic Command to quickly expend some.
• While in Mace/Axe, always try to let your Auto Attack chain finish, as the last hits are very strong.
• On most fights, there are going to be moments when you can't hit the boss, but you'll still gain energy. During these phases, use Heroic Command and Orders from Above to help keep boons up.
• Try to avoid canceling Bloodbane Path during its cast.
• As Razorclaw's Rage does not stack, you only want to have one Kalla renegade in each subgroup (unless one adjusts their rotation). Any additional renegades can take Shiro instead of Kalla.
  • If taking Shiro, activate Impossible Odds during the cast of Temporal Rift and otherwise keep the rotation the same (minus the Kalla skills, obviously).

• Darkrazor's Daring
• Call to Anguish (costs a lot of energy for comparatively little CC, so only as a last resort)
