The Renegade can fight both at range or mele, using either power or condition stats, staying in short bow 90% of the time, and kill well both single targets and small packs of enemies. The powe Herald is pure mele and albeit very competent at single target damage, loses a lot of efficiency when has to tag multiple foes at the same time. The condition Herald is mele/short range AoE, much better against small packs, but a bit slower vs single targets. To me soloing hero points/bosses with power Herald is faster but more risky, with condi Herald a bit slower but way tankier. Herald has the quality of life of having perma-swiftness (Facet of Elements) without relying in traits or runes, but Renegade has the quality of life of being able to kill everything below champs without even being touched (short bow).

Thanks. Would you suggest power or condi Renegade? Any suggestions for inexpensive starter gear while I build up the gold account?
In general I agree with the OP. For a NEW player the game can be difficult. When I first started playing it took me some time to get used to the fast pace of the combat. I still have much room for improvement. Naturally the more one plays the game the easier it becomes. A possible suggestion for the OP. Try the Scrapper Juggernaut flame thrower build you can find on Metabattle. It has 100% or near 100% stability. I tried it in the PvP lounge against various classes NPC and the crowd control reduction is very noticeable and satisfying. Hardly a top DPS build but relaxing and sturdy. Perhaps there are ways to improve the build as you get more game experience and play more offensively.
