The community gave this build a rating, making it second-tier: Good

Focused on: Condition damage and Support

Designed for: Raids and Fractals

Expansions required: Path of Fire Builds

Difficulty:
TBD
This build was last updated on February 18, 2023 and is up to date for the October 8, 2024 patch.

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 Might with Heroic Command.

Video example


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 and replace with a single Misery Swipe. If Echoing Eruption is already off cooldown, use that immediately instead as you don't want to delay your rotation and allow energy to build up.
  • On Mallyx, you 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).


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, more than two Kalla renegades in one subgroup will result in lost damage (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).


Breakbars

  • Temporal Rift
  • Scorchrazor
  • Darkrazor's Daring
  • Call to Anguish (costs a lot of energy for comparatively little CC, so only as a last resort)
  • Frigid Blitz deals ~300 soft CC (assuming the target doesn't already have Chill Chill and Slow Slow)

A good alacrity source for condi-favoured fractals, and able to bring good ranged DPS with some utility from Kalla. Struggles more in raids though as it only really offers alacrity, which restricts your options for quickness supports.
