Guild Wars 2

or does the renegade’s dmg seem a bit low compared to other elite specs? seems like the dmg numbers on new skills seem really low, especially since my crit dmg% is 217. with hammer im criting for 5000+ with shortbow im lucky if i get 1500 on crits. seems like for now i’m probably gonna stick with hammer T_T

Because Renegade is a condi spec, not power.

The condi damg overall is good and fun to play with real ranged weapon, the life steal kinda OP i think it will get nerf soon.

so what stat set should i use?

Dire, Trailblazer, viper, whatever !

Like he says, Renegade elite is far more a boost to condi than power set up. Your second core trait should be Corruption. The third should be Invocation since Renegade also feeds off of Fury in its traits.

you should use condi stat set

They better not, because that’s more reliable than the heal. If it’s interrupted, the heal will go on full cd without casting the AoE.
