So, with Spellbreaker looking more and more like a really strong pvp elite or if it is good for pve its still power based (currently) and I really enjoy condi for some silly reason what are peoples thought about Renegade being a viable raid build?
As many have said finally Mallayx gets some support with Renegade looking very condi friendly and all.
But…..does it bring anything else? That’s the kicker really. Right now with cPS I do decent condi dps but more importantly I bring the might and such. So even if War did go all power those boons are still needed and does any of the new elites bring anything to the table? My Rev was my first raid toon and it would be really sweet if it does become a thing…or even a bit of a thing.
Any theorycrafters feel free to speculate away, as that’s all we can do til the expac drops. Next weekend will give us a nice taste but just curious as to what people’s thoughts are thus far in regards to the new elite. On paper it looks great, or I could be way off. Still fun to give a guess though!

Now that the traits have been revealed I can safely say Renegade brings a few things to the table:
Might spam. Like, a lot. You’re not gonna need might from many other sources really.
Alacrity, a fair share. Even more so if traited. 6seconds on a 20 second CD (shorter because of alacrity itself).
A super strong 700dmg lifesteal aura, with no apparent internal CD as of now, which is also an upkeep fire field (doesn’t show up in the tooltip for some reason but was shown in aurora’s videos).
Protection near their summons.
-33%Condi damage reduction on their heal summon. (could be helpful for some fights, + some future encounters). An extra personal -33% whenever they have their own buff maxed (which with how easy it is to get it’ll be all the time).
Absurd burning dmg on big hitboxes.
IF the daze summon PULSES daze (which isn’t very clear from either the tooltip nor the videos), insane breakbar damage potential.
And personal permacrit traits (doesn’t really benefit the team directly but it’s nice for deeps).
