Having energy be at 100% instead of 50%, or decreasing (but not removing) the cost across all skills, seem like more interesting solutions to me.

 

Having energy be at 100% when legend swapping, and not having energy drop back to 50% when going out of combat might help. I always am bothered when I conserve energy to get to 100% and run to the next foe only to be out of combat for just a moment before engaging that next foe and losing the top half of my energy bar.

That appears to be the case. Also, I believe the Devspeak regarding the "removal limiter" means that the buff which applies the bleed won't be removed if your ally attacks while the buff is on its internal cd. Otherwise, an ally could "blow out" all their stacks without actually applying the bleeds.

I am curious to know if the stacks will be removed when an attack is blocked/evaded, however. My assumption is that it will.

[aaguilarce.1764]

I am glad that they removed the BS from the heal and the reduced energy cost, but I think it's not enough, I feel like I have to choose between to use a Weapon Skill, Citadel Order Skills or Utility Skills because of the high cost. I really expected more EliteSpec changes and more Rev Core changes... I'm not sure to buy the expansion...

lol who needs vulnerability in a raid? It's passively capped just by class autoattacks. Chrono alone can maintain 12 stacks and power daredevil closes that.

To this end, if you are low on health and go out of combat for a split second does your health instantly go back to full? NO So it stands to reason that energy should drop to 50% at the about same rate as heath is replenished out of combat.

[Clownmug.8357]

Nice changes. If I had OCD, those non-multiple of 5 energy costs would bother me though.

[Professor Sprout.1560]

Did a few sums to quantify my suspicion that the energy costs for the citadel order skills are still way too high for the [condition DPS support role this class was marketed on](

).

 

Kalla, Mallyx and Jalis (the three legends available for the Renegade that best support this role) all have a powerful upkeep skill that provides the backbone of the Revenant's offence; [QTFY](https://qtfy.eu/guildwars/revenant/condi-rev-quick-guide/) recommends maintaining 100% uptime for the Mallyx and Jalis buffs, and to me the Kalla buff looks so strong that not maintaining 100% uptime on that would be a massive loss in group DPS. Doing the energy sums if the Revenant is staying in each legend for exactly 10 seconds in order to maximise energy then that gives the Renegade 100-10-90=0 energy for Kalla and 100-5-70=25 energy for Mallyx/Jalis to spare on weapon skills/utilities/citadel orders. This means that the Renegade cannot afford to cast any Citadel Order skills whilst using its elite spec legend, and cannot afford to cast its condi DPS Citadel Bombardment order skill in conjunction with either of its condi DPS legends. Moreover casting any other citadel order when using Kalla/Jalis legends will limit you to autoattacking, making them a net loss to group damage unless your DPS is abysmal and the DPS of your allies is insane. This state of affairs is... not ideal.

 

I'll give some points for the shortbow and spirit changes, but I feel these citadel orders need another rethink. And I'd recommend slashing the cost of Soulcleave down at least to 75 if you'd like any freedom in the Renegade DPS rotation for the Kalla legend.

Citidel orders probably only makes sense for a Ventari rev setup. My guess on proper condition rotation is to start on Kalla drop bombardment, auto till you can drop the bleed summon, go mallyx, use elite use mace axe 2,3,5 on cd till you swap back to Kalla, drop bleed summon, auto till co, use a few mace skills, drop bleed summon when mallyx is almost ready and switch to mallyx etc.

I think that Soulcleave is going to do significantly more damage per second unless nerfed than Razorclaw as it had no ICD during the beta. Most classes hit more than once per second (especially with quickness) making it a stronger buff, especially for certain attacks such as Mad King Runes or Jalis hammers.

[Tomahawk.7361]

Thank you for the timely efficient and thoughtful revisions anet, i cannot wait to play PoF and it feels like you guys are working harder than ever. It is super appreciated!

FOR EVERYONE SAYING THAT THE BLEEDS ISNT GOOD IS STUPID LOL, First thing is first, 50 stacks of bleed WILL ALWAYS happen you will always have 50 stacks, people hit 10 attacks at least every 10 secs easily 50 will stack condi warrior stacks 30 bleeds for 10k imagine 20 more bleeds.... ur gonna be doing like 15-18k bleeds guys.... stop complaining use ur Brain.... renegade REVENANTs dmg will be amazing in pve really really good. Now imagine 15k torment 12k burning 15k bleeds 4K poison 46k JUST CONDITIONS and revenants power dmg is also really impressive the dmg will be impressive all u haters will see you guys just don't open up ur mind

I really dont think anyone is complaining about renegade damage in raids. Its the play style.

 

Also it's next to useless in wvw and pvp. Like is it really hard to make some simple changes to the class right now to make it viable for pvp?

 

Example:

 

Trow an addition to a trait anywhere making when you summon a spirit you clear one or two condies

 

Trow a mobility on short bow. I dont know make it when you do 7 shot it teleports you to their end location or something. Maybe not good idea but you get it.

I was thinking about Spiritcrush and the issue with it right now is that if i'm running in a direction and I use spiritcrush in front of me and mid cast animation I cross over where I placed the aoe circle, it just cancels the skill all together. While I get the reasoning behind needing to see where I'm putting my arrows, it doesn't really make sense given that the *theme of the profession* is to be able to strike through portals and hit at weird angles and such. Thematically it feels weird that I can use bloodbane path while not facing my target but this cancels mid cast even though I'm clearly shooting my arrow through a portal to then open up over some other location and rain down hell on my enemies. Please consider changing this in future. It would be a huge QOL change and would definitely not make shortbow OP.

Lol... I can apply this logic to any shareable skill, including passive auras, and will get he same result if not even better. This is clearly not how you measure anything.

 

First, this will never happen anywhere in PvP. In fact this utility in particular should never ever be used in PvP at all. If you are not reserving all your energy for daze + CC break utility you are not going to last very long.

 

Second how does this compare to other alternative skills? This comes at the cost of soulcleave. Really hard sell to use here considering soulcleave damage and sustainability.

 

Last, I do not care how many stacks of bleed you put. If the ally is not condi build the value drops to obsecurity real quick.

 

I won't go as far as calling this utility terrible, but there is a much better alternative in almost every situation in every game mode.

 

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

It goes off of your condition damage. I'm in way too much pain to run the numbers, but so far it seems that the elite is going to out damage the summons under basically any circumstances. What I don't like is that the summons are wholly dependent on having teammates to support you. Jalis/Malyx can function solo.

[aimz.6287]

@otto.5684. Okay listen man it was just me explain to idiots that 50 stack bleeds is really impressive, think of the 25% condition duration and the 20% more dmg to bleeds trait and then using kalla ferver 20% that's amazing!!! Don't get me wrong renegade is not going to be amazing in pvp functions but it's pve dmg will definitely be outstanding. With pvp I agree to an extent that it's going to be hard honestly I think the devs want a lot of diversity in the community herald could be for pvp/wvw renegade could be for pve if u use renegade for pvp and complain it sucksas a whole ur a joke because in all reality it's probably the best dmg in pve and vice Versa as in if you play herald in raids people are going to hate u because why would u make the team suck.... just go renegade.... does that make sense.... they are both elite specs renegade doesn't trump herald and herald doesn't trump renegade it's about what is best in that current situation Oh yea and they don't get the tick dmg u do they just supply it. As in for example if u throw down ur spirit and then ur allies start attacking they do not get the bleed ticks ALL 50 stacks is urs... I was in pvp with carrion gear I dropped my spirit down and literally just stood there IN PVP I WILL REMIND U WITH NO BUFFS GETTING 20k ticks because 5 people around me got the bleeds up to the 80s with that being said if u don't think the devs are being fair to the community get over ur self or go play bdo because we don't need your grief all 50 stacks is for the renegade u will do mega dmg... herald for pvp, renegade for pve it's all about the.......THE CURRENT SITUATION!!!!!!!!!! GET IT IN UR BRAIN..... DIVERSITY PEOPLE.... DIVERSITY.... Also I'm extremely tired right now so if I have grammar errors get over urself anyways I'm out PCE OUT SUCCERS HAHAHAHAHA.... fr tho pce out stop being a hater... k.... pce

Welcome to reverant. This is not nothing new. Jails suffers from the exact same problem. So does shiro to a lesser extent. Kalla just takes the same bad logic and make it worse.. much worse.. Not only do utilities competed with each other and weapon skills on the same resource devs added f2-f4 skills just to fuck with us.

Let's do a little Math before you call out people like that shall we ?

 

Razorclaw's Rage is a Buff given to 5 people lasting 10 seconds, pulsing every Second. Having a 15 seconds CD and Costing 25 Energy.

This Skills can get up to 27'350 damage (with 50 Stacks of Bleed), coming from 4s Bleeds at 547 Damage.

 

Now, you do know that the Elite Soulcleave's Summit is COMPLETELY Overshadowing Razorclaw's Rage ?, I'm sure you do, BUT it is also overshadowed by another "Basic" Skill alone, which is Echoing Eruption (Mace 3).

 

Now let us see why, shall we ?

Echoing Eruption is at 16'293 Damage (only counting the Torment it puts), Coming from 5 Torment Stacks lasting 20 Seconds.

It's costs are 5 Energy and 8 Seconds CD.

 

Now, compare the two and tell me WHY I should waste my energy on Razorclaw's Rage.

I hope for your own sake that you can see beyond the "Hype" and see Reality as it is, that being that Renegade is not that great besides the Kalla Stacks and the Elite, not that great at all.

Oh and also, Power Revenant will get Power Creeped by the other Elites in PvP and WvW Environments.

So in the end, yeah we can do Raids, but that doesn't mean we are in a good position, because in reality many of the core features of Revenant DO Need Buffs, at least enough to compensate the Nerfs that the Class got in these years.

 

 

I don't want to finish on a bad note, so... have a Nice PoF Start !

For the Numbers, the Sigil of Agony is only there to see what we got when the Trait "Blood Fury" is active.

I reckon that would be a good idea, A small ice burst as he is summoned followed by the current set of cripples and vuln... would be pretty awesome :)

I don't think this is the case. I have glint exclusively for the speed boost between fights. I main in Rev and always have Mallyx for the condi damage. Im really excited by the new Legend, as Revs can now focus on condi damage. Both weapon sets and legends devoted to one thing, instead of every weapon and legends being focused in different areas

[Lionwait.4815]

I really like the changes and I cant wait to play it in WvW. The only thing that disappointed me was that spiritcrush still cant be cast behind me when running away. Not only do we have to wait for the cast time on it but the projectile flying in the air and then the ticks to even apply a bit of dmg. I don't understand why Anet is being a hard arss about fixing this problem. I mean hell the range on it is only 900. Even necro's staff marks you can cast behind them at 1200 range and have no projectile flying in the air to wait on. If I think about it.... I Can't come up with another dmg ground targeting skill that lets me run and cast it with such a BS limitation on it, can you?
