Purpose of this rework
+ Enchancing renegade teamplay (raid viability)
+ Loosening up the raid meta to let other classes in
+ Introduce balanced energy management mecanic for renegade (so he can use those skills instead of just looking at them)
Not covered:
+ fixing all of his issues – in time that may appear here too.
Echanced party play:
Kalla’s fervor can now be shared with allies via grandmaster traits or inspired F2 (explained in next paragraph).
Shared Kalla’s fervor is same as the one Renegade has, but it’ll not stack with Grace of the Land from druid. A fresh stack of any of them will delete one stack of the other.
Renegade himself however will always prioritize keeping Kalla’s Fervor stacks and deleting Gotl when the two are applied to himself.
New mechanic – F5 – Kalla’s inspiration
F5 will allow you to consume 5 Kalla’s fervor stacks to regain 20 energy and inspire your next Citadel Order or Legendary Renegade Stance ability for much stronger effects.
Doing so however will prevent you from generating any new Kalla’s fervor stacks until F5 goes off cooldown (10 seconds).
From this point in i will call skills boosted by F5 inspired
Inspired Citadel Orders skills effects:
F2- Heroic command. Inspire your allies with both Kalla’s fervor and might (5 stacks), but receive only might portion of it for yourself.
duh, you burned your stacks to empower it and can’t gain new ones while F5 is on cooldown
The base version (not inspired) will stay as is – sharing just might, but keeping your KF stacks and refreshing them.
F3 – Citadel Bombardment. Pull additional 5 missiles from the mists, missiles have increased blast radius (180 radius now).
Yeah, i took functionality from grandmaster as itself will receive a different one.
F4. Orders from above. – Gain additional 4s of alacrity on top of base duration and grant protection(5s) to nearby allies on initial cast.
Grandmaster traits – now each provides unique way of sharing Kalla’s fervor with allies and enchances it’s own Citadel Order skill.
Vindication – Gaining Kalla’s fervor grants you might (6s). Share both with your allies. 1s icd on the sharing part of the trait. Citadel bombardment grants fury to you and your nearby alllies (5s fury, 600 radius).
This is the “easy, constant share” option for offensive renegades. You do your thing, and it will pump might and kalla’s fervor stacks to allies.
Lasting Legacy – increase the effectivness of your Kalla’s fervor stacks (+100%).
So 60 ferocity and 4% condi damage per stack.
Kalla’s fervor stacks you inspire last longer (12s).
When sharing Kalla’s fervor with allies (inspired Heroic Command), they too will receive the empowered stacks and double the normal amount of might stacks.
This is your max party dps burst option. In exchange for being forced to use inspired Heroic Orders to share, and losing your own stacks of it, you can pump your allies with 12s of super damage boost.
Reason i replaced upgrade to max stacks with doubling each stacks’ power is sharing with allies. Having two different stack caps for sharing may be troublesome to implement.
Righteous Rebel
While you have maximum stacks of Kalla’s Fervor, receive reduced damage from conditions. Orders from Above lasts longer and affects a larger area.
Alacrity you give inspires one stack of Kalla’s fervor for each second it persists.
Yourself included unless you’re under effects of F5 cooldown
This one is a nudge to healing renegades. While not wholly impossible, a pure dedicated healer will not have high crit chance. At the same time he definitely should be able to share Kalla’s fervor with his teammates as a support. So by tacking it on to alacrity we have a non-offesive way that will get the job done partially for normal builds, and all the way for healers (ventari’s own alacrity).
Rest of the grandmaster is fine as it so left it unchanged.
Legendary Renegade Stance inspired skills:
Breakrazor’s Bastion – The zone is now also a waterfield (5s).
Razorclaw’s Rage – each pulse of his field now additionally applies torment (4s) to allies’ attacks.
Darkrazor’s Daring – The zone is now also a smokefield (6s).
Icerazor’s Ire – his attacks no longer inflict physical damage, but inflict chill rather then cripple on each strike.
Soulcleave’s Summit – for first 5 seconds Life Siphon’s health restored is tripled.
