===Energy Management===
−
* Renegade is a support build, prioritize support skills instead of damage output
+
It is important to swap legends as often as possible since each legend swap gives you up to 75 energy (Going from 0 -> 50 + {{Trait|Charged Mists}}). During the 10s between legend swap CDs, you have 125 energy assuming {{Trait|Charged Mists}} was procced. Because {{Skill|Orders from Above}} needs to be cast in both Mallyx and Jalis, you need two plans for each legend on how to spend energy.
−
* Always try to swap legends when off cooldown to refresh energy
+
 
−
** Make sure to be under 10 energy when swapping legends to activate {{Trait|Charged Mists}}
+
Due to the cooldown of {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} Mallyx rotations are extremely tight. Any boon rip on {{Tooltip|Alacrity}}, {{Tooltip|Chill}} or lack of {{Tooltip|Quickness}} can make it difficult to cast all three {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} and swap legends on time. They can be made significantly easier but slightly less efficient by adding {{Skill|Heroic Command}} or {{Skill|Spiritcrush}} and slightly delaying the legend swap. Another option is swapping one cast of {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} to {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} which will avoid delaying the legend swap but lose boon rip.
−
** {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}} and {{Skill|Heroic Command}} are both useful for dumping energy quickly
+
 
−
* Cast {{Skill|Orders from Above}} on cooldown to buff you and your allies with {{Tooltip|Alacrity}}
+
Mace skills - {{Skill|Searing Fissure}} and {{Skill|Echoing Eruption}} - cost only 5 energy and can be slotted in to use up the 5 energy often left over when rotating through other skills. {{Skill|Shackling Wave}} can be used in place of {{Skill|Spiritcrush}} or {{Skill|Heroic Command}} whenever you're in range to use it.
−
* {{Skill|Citadel Bombardment}} should never be used, there are always better uses for energy
+
 
−
* Cast {{Skill|Heroic Command}} for {{Tooltip|Might}} on spikes if your group can't maintain 25 stacks.
+
In the following recommended energy uses, any skill that is used multiple times in a single legend ({{Skill|Banish Enchantment}}/{{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}}) must be cast as soon as possible. Use these basic rotations as a framework to balance your energy usage, they can be adapted to your needs. For example if you needed to cast {{Skill|Call to Anguish}} to avoid damage or CC you could remove the cast of {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} from the Mallyx rotations and still spend the same amount of energy.

'''Jalis (Legendary Dwarf Stance)'''
 
−
* {{skill|Soothing Stone}} can be used as condi clear, it also provides decent healing.
 
−
* {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}} reduces incoming damage and brings powerful DPS potential on melee.
 
−
* Try to time {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}} to mitigate damage, don't simply use it as soon as you enter Dwarf stance, as it will drain almost all of your energy.
 
−
** Can be used both preemptively, before the fight really starts, or reactively, once it's already going on.
 
−
** Try to have the buff up as engages begin, when an enemy player is being cleaved or a friendly player is being rezzed.
 
−
* {{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}} does solid damage and gives pulsing {{Tooltip|Stability}} on a large range, try to place it in areas where allies and enemies will be clashing to maximize utility from the road.
 
−
* {{Skill|Forced Engagement}} should always be used on the enemy stack not on isolated targets, along with winds and ground pressure, to lock down foes.

** {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}} and {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} break stuns at the beginning of the cast, dodge or weapon stow to cancel the cast if you're in danger
  
−
* {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} Incredibly strong boon rip, try to target players in or behind the enemy stack to maximize hits
+
{{Collapse start|Active defense priority}}
−
* {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} breaks stuns and pays the energy cost at the start of the cast but only gives {{Tooltip|Resistance}} and pulls conditions at the end of the cast.
+
* {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}}/{{Skill|Pain Absorption}} - for stunbreaking
−
** Stowing the cast gives the stunbreak without pulling conditions, which can be better than finishing the cast
+
* {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}}
−
* {{Skill|Call to Anguish}} can be useful for repositioning, but isn't worth the energy unless desperate
+
* {{Skill|Soothing Stone}} - for {{Tooltip|Immobilize}}
 +
* '''Dodge'''
 +
* {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}} - general use

−
'''Shortbow'''
 
−
* {{Skill|Bloodbane Path}} is generally not worth the energy to cast in a zerg setting
 
−
* {{Skill|Sevenshot}} has significant single target burst but is generally less useful than the utility skills you could cast instead
 
−
* {{Skill|Spiritcrush}} has solid AoE damage and also pulses the powerful {{Skill|Slow}} condition
 
−
* {{Skill|Scorchrazor}} is a strong ranged CC, use it to root enemies into allied burst combos
 
  
−
'''Staff'''
+
===Detailed Explanations===
−
* Staff is the defensive weapon in the build.
+
====Boon rip====
−
* The 3 main defensive skills include a block, a condition cleanse, and an evade frame. These skills are not only strong but also cheaper than Jalis skills in case you need personal survivability
+
* {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} is your highest priority in {{Skill|Legendary Demon Stance}}, make sure to keep enough energy to cast it off CD
−
* {{Skill|Renewing Wave}} other than being a much needed condition cleanse is also a Blast Finisher - your combo fields are not that great, but you could combo this with whatever fields your allies are using for stronger benefits like {{Tooltip|Stealth}}.
+
** Try to target players behind or inside the enemy group, to maximize hits with {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}}
−
* {{Skill|Surge of the Mists}} is an instant evade frame which already makes it valuable. Perhaps the best thing about this skill though is the fact that it CC's multiple times in a row, which makes it great at burning through {{Tooltip|Stability}} stacks of your opponent and interrupting casts they thought were safe.
+
* Make sure to autoattack to proc {{Trait|Brutality}}
  
−
===Energy Usage===
 
  
 +
====Alacrity====
 +
* Press {{Skill|Orders from Above}} as soon as it comes off cooldown
  
−
Your priorities for energy usage in '''Jalis''' should be as follows:
 
−
* {{Tooltip|Alacrity}} uptime from {{skill|Orders from Above}}
 
−
* When your group is playing defensively:
 
−
** {{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}}
 
−
** {{Skill|Rite of the Great Dwarf}}
 
−
** CC Skills: {{Skill|Scorchrazor}}, {{Skill|Forced Engagement}}, {{Skill|Surge of the Mists}} (Avoid overlapping your own CC)
 
−
** {{Skill|Spiritcrush}}
 
−
* When your group is playing offensively:
 
−
** CC Skills: {{Skill|Scorchrazor}}, {{Skill|Forced Engagement}}, {{Skill|Surge of the Mists}} (Avoid overlapping your own CC)
 
−
** {{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}}
 
−
** {{Skill|Spiritcrush}}
 
−
** Other damage skills: {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}} (in melee), {{Skill|Sevenshot}}
 
−
** {{Skill|Heroic Command}}
 
  
−
'''Mallyx''' energy usage is dominated by {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}}, almost all energy use in the stance should generally be used for it
+
====Support====
 +
* Prioritize aiming {{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}} in the direction your group is moving to, not at the enemy
 +
** Do hit the enemy when possible though
 +
** You can move slightly behind your group before casting to make it easier to land

Energy Management

It is important to swap legends as often as possible since each legend swap gives you up to 75 energy (Going from 0 -> 50 + Charged Mists). During the 10s between legend swap CDs, you have 125 energy assuming Charged Mists was procced. Because Orders from Above needs to be cast in both Mallyx and Jalis, you need two plans for each legend on how to spend energy.

Due to the cooldown of Banish Enchantment Mallyx rotations are extremely tight. Any boon rip on Alacrity Alacrity, Chill Chill or lack of Quickness Quickness can make it difficult to cast all three Banish Enchantment and swap legends on time. They can be made significantly easier but slightly less efficient by adding Heroic Command or Spiritcrush and slightly delaying the legend swap. Another option is swapping one cast of Banish Enchantment to Pain Absorption which will avoid delaying the legend swap but lose boon rip.

Mace skills - Searing Fissure and Echoing Eruption - cost only 5 energy and can be slotted in to use up the 5 energy often left over when rotating through other skills. Shackling Wave can be used in place of Spiritcrush or Heroic Command whenever you're in range to use it.

In the following recommended energy uses, any skill that is used multiple times in a single legend (Banish Enchantment/Inspiring Reinforcement) must be cast as soon as possible. Use these basic rotations as a framework to balance your energy usage, they can be adapted to your needs. For example if you needed to cast Call to Anguish to avoid damage or CC you could remove the cast of Pain Absorption from the Mallyx rotations and still spend the same amount of energy.

Incredibly strong at smaller scales. Brings the rare and powerful alacrity boon, has boonrip potential similar to chronomancer along with some of the best CC in the game and access to pulsing stability.
