So how are we supposed to be playing Renegade (or Revenant) in general? Use one utility skill then auto attack for 4 seconds before you can start using your other utility skills or weapon skills?

The rev-energy cost vs our rev-energy stores and how they regenerate in battle just don’t allow for…anything outside of an opener, really. After that, we’re basically just auto-attack bots. Is this right? Using F2/F3/F4 is not even in my realm of thought due to the energy costs for their damage/utility.

Surely, I’m doing something wrong because I have all these skills available but can’t use them. In the time it takes to ramp up to enough rev-energy I’m dead 4x over.

Possibly you’re meant to be madly flipping back and forth between legends every 10 seconds to take advantage of the 50 free energy provided by each swap.

Though personally I’d rather chew my foot off than take up that manic style of play.

I’ll change weapons / legends / whatever because it makes sense to use one of their abilities at that particular moment in time. Not for any other reason.

Everyone has been complaining about the Revenant energy cost since the class came out but the developers don’t seem to care to change it. They need to remove energy cost from weapon skills. Having both energy and recharge tied to a skill is really a hindrance to the class compared to all the others. Should be one or the other considering how weak a lot of the revenant skills are.

But people have been complaining about it for years nothing will change.

Yes.

Revenant relies HEAVILY on their auto attack to deal damage. They’re like Thief but require much more effort to play really well. You also probably won’t ever see huge damage numbers with Revenant but you will see a lot of moderate damage numbers ticking at the same time.

Revenant is definitely not for everyone but the theme is really cool and when you become really proficient at it, you leave people either really impressed or really angry XD

Having energy management is not an issue. The HUGE energy cost on some skills is.

And Renegade utility skills are just the worst of the bunch, with HUGE energy costs and also cooldowns for some reason.
