Power Alacrity Renegade PVE Build Guide - Guild Wars 2

- Power Alacrity Renegade got a well needed buff (along with everything Renegade related). You need way lower boon duration which translates into a juicy DPS increase.
It still retains its omega utility and flexibility which lets you adapt it perfectly to each encounter (much more so than the condi build).

Was just trying to understand power alac renegade yesterday, this video is so timely
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
Woah its back I thought it was nerfed and we all had to swap to condi
I'm glad alacrigade is back, it was one of my favourite builds to play. Your videos are always helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found the guide helpful. Power Alac Ren was one of the first builds I picked up when I came back to the game after a few years away so I always had a soft spot for it. So glad to see it's back on the menu.
This is the type of informative video I need to help me decide what to play. Been doing Mirage Mesmer but wanted to try something else, and Renegade has been on that list. And if I do, this video will be my go to!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the video. I love me some Mirage as well. I bounce between them all the time.
nice video, im more and more engaged to finally play revenant (never touched it), both condi and power guide are nice. well done.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are still so many Revenant builds I use and need to make guides on. Off the top off my head there's:
- Power Vindicator
- DPS Herald
- Quickness Herald
- Hand Kite Herald for Deimos
- Heal Herald
Revenant is amazing because it can cover off on basically all possible roles in endgame PVE.
Shoutout to you making this video. I despise playing condi renegade. I never enjoyed its rotation or using shortbow with mallyx.
Cheers haha. Glad you found a Rev spec you enjoy!
Thank you for the guide!
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed.
I just bought the sword skin today and now im watching this, marvelous
Excellent choice with the sword skin. Easily my favorite outside of some legendaries.
The versatility in the gear here can be used for Power Quickness Herald. Just swap weapons and sigils based on needs. Great for those with only two equipment templates.
You can even just take the gear from this AlacRen build and apply it directly to Quickness Herald. You'll overshoot on boon duration a little but they use the same Runes and Sigils so it will work just fine. Such efficiency.
@connorconcarne What Armor skins are you using? I like the chest and shoulders
Well, you got me trying Revenant for 1st time :)
Awesome! Glad I could sway you haha.
Very nice. Appreciate it.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
How do you feel about this build compared to qdps herald? New to the game and been doing strikes and fractals as qdps herald, was thinking to try this for alac options as i dont like the idea of condi damage.
If I want to get into raids you think this would be viable or do I just run herald? This sounds fun in fractals.
This build is amazing in Fractals! Overall of endgame PVE I'd say Power Quickness Herald is the stronger build. It offers a fair chunk more damage and is easier to play in general. It also has a much wider range of boons it can provide. What you can do (and what I've done on my alt account), is just gear up your Revenant for the Power Alacrity Renegade build (40% boon duration) and then run the same gear for Power Quickness Herald (needs around 25% boon duration from memory). Then you can just swap the traits around as needed. They use the same food, weapons and sigils so it's a VERY efficient way to cover off on both roles. This build is totally viable for raids but it's really easy to swap to the Quickness build as well.
I’m making this build for sure
Definitely recommend! Power AlacRen is an amazing build.
Hey, thank you for the video, can you elaborate how different your build is from snowcrow's?
I'm fairly new to support dps and i have no clue which one of them to follow. i mostly do strikes and raids, rarely open world.
You're very welcome. The Snow Crows version has 37.5% boon duration whereas this version has 40%. I prefer having a little extra buffer in Boon Duration to allow for a bit more leeway in the rotation. In actual content you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
As long as you have more than 33% boon duration you can upkeep 100% alacrity. So, there is some flexibility to add more boon duration to make your life easier at the cost of a little damage.
@@connorconcarne Your build seems more forgiving than snowcrow's. Thank you for the reply ^^ cheers.
Since you seem to be a fan of Rev, would be interesting to see what you put together to make a healing Revenant build.
Heal Alacrity Renegade will probably have lackluster performance in terms of easy to access and use heals in real situations (Kalla spirits and Ventari Tablet being clunky) so Maybe Healing Quickness Herald would much more viable instead as a solid healing Revenant build?
I'm very much a fan of Rev haha. I haven't messed around with Heal Alac Renegade since EOD launched. I agree that it would still be a bit meh with its rather low access to boons outside Alacrity and a bit of Might.
Heal Quickness Herald is great at the moment however. I have one set up for whenever I want to heal/tank in raids and don't need the reflects on Firebrand. It's very durable, easy to play and pumps out a ton of boons. Having the 20% buffed (from memory) regeneration heals for a surprising amount.
@@connorconcarne Makes sense, thanks.
Hello :) Thank you for all you do :)
Also, is this build still viable, after all changes that happened? :)
This build is even better than it was. Just swap out Swords for Greatsword and it just does even more damage than it used to.
Realy nice video, it realy helped me getting into rev. One question tho: how are you crit capping without roiling mists? Am i missing something here? In general how strong is charged mists?
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! In the Renegade traitline you get a minor trait "Brutal Momentum". This gives you an extra 33% crit chance when your endurance is full (and 10% when your endurance is not full). So base 42% crit chance + 33% + 25% from fury lets you crit cap.
Also Charged Mists is an amazing trait and is basically required for the Revenant Alacrity builds. It gives you 25 extra energy on swap which always gives you enough energy for Orders From Above (20 energy). Without it you will find yourself massively starved of energy on the alac build and end up having a bad time. Unless you need the crit chance from Roiling Mists it's usually the best choice on DPS builds as well. However, the other 2 traits (Song of the Mists and Roiling Mists) become a lot closer in damage output.
@@connorconcarne thank you so much for the further explanation 🙂
Here's a tip for being able to track your Crit chance in real world, real time play. Go ahead and open your hero panel and slide that window way off to the left side of your screen so only that last column of data (where your crit chance % number lives) shows. Go ahead and fight and give those numbers a few glances as you fight to see where your real world numbers come out.
this is getting another buff on tuesday! and condi gets a nerf
So glad to see that Power AlacRen is getting a buff. From what I've seen the nerf to Condi shouldn't be particularly large. Condi AlacRen will still slap.
I already have a pricy set of celestial gear on my renegade, but had stopped playing after the updates. Would that gearset not work well with this build?
Celestial gear wouldn't be great for the Power version of this build. However, it would work quite well for the Condi Alacrity Renegade. As long as you have at least 33% boon duration then you're good to go. Celestial gear tends to work better on Condi builds compared to Power generally.
I did a Pug Fractal 98 CM as Power alacrity renegade, 2nd highest Dps, the healer was writing something like, how can u guys do lesser damage than the alacrity provider.
Feelsgoodman👌
Btw nice video 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. If you really get Power Alac Ren nailed you can make some DPS players a bit nervous haha.
Any recommendations on runes outside of scholar? They’re just so expensive. I have the diviners/berserker gear, like u outlined in the vid except for swords
Sure! You could take Pack Runes which would give you a ton of extra boon duration which will make providing Alacrity much easier. Strength runes would be ok and let you provide more might to your group while still maintaining a damage modifier. Rune of the Eagle would also be decent but would leave you with far more precision than you need.
Rune of the ogre isn't bad I was using those on my power build till I got scholar
What would you say are the main considerations as to what build you to play in a raid or strike between power vs condi?
Raw damage?
Damage uptime?
Breakbar damage?
The ability to flex to Jalis for stability?
The main things I would consider in raids/strikes would be that the Power build excels in fights with short burst windows (Conjured Amalgamate / Keep Construct) and the Condi build is great in fights with long (or no phases) and has excellent range damage. Other things I think about for each build are:
Power
- More flexible legends, can easily bring Ventari, Jalis or Mallyx as needed
- Higher breakbar damage
- Much higher burst damage - great for fights with short burst windows or phases (almost all fractals except Sanqua Peak)
Condi
- Much higher sustained damage
- Ranged DPS option so increased damage uptime
- A simpler looping rotation so it's easier to hit higher DPS numbers in an encounter.
- Is much more of a pain to swap legends
Man, I love Revenant
Same here, easily my favorite class at the moment.
what is that armour skin you are wearing at the start of the video?
Hey Godfather! Sure thing the skins are:
- Ebon Vanguard Elite Shoulders
- Etherbound Chestplate
- Luminous Heavy Gauntlets
- Funerary Tassets
- Elegy Greaves
@ConnorConCarne tyvm kind sir, all your videos are amazing. best gw2 content creator on youtube of late.
Edit: ahh it's the etherbound armour set
Thanks so much Godfather! So nice of you to say :)
Is GS the main dps weapon right now compared to dual sword?
Yep, Greatsword is more or less a straight upgrade over sword.
can I use the main build for open world with GS?
Absolutely, I recommend swapping Swords out for Greatsword on basically all Power Revenants.
How come you only have 67% crit chance? Idk if something is missing but that is with fury, wouldn't eagle runes or something with precision work better to raise the crit chance? Ngl i just wanted to be cheap while I try it but why is the crit chance so low with scholar lol
Brutal Momentum gives us an extra 33% crit chance when our Endurance is full. That lets us crit cap without having to slot a crazy amount of Assassin's gear or Eagle Runes. If you just wanted to be cheap and try it, you could potentially use Pack Runes and a Concentration Sigil for some extra boon duration (25% total and really cheap). Then you'd need far less Diviners Gear and could slot the super cheap exotic Berserker's gear while you tested it.
@@connorconcarne oh I see thank you
I am a fairly new player so i don't have diviner ascended weapons but i can get 2 ascended berserker swords, so I was wondering how much worse it would be to use those and full diviner armor and full berserker accessories (using pack runes)
revenant has just been absolutely winning in PvE lately
Revenant is sitting at the top of the pile in PVE these days. The fact it's one of the few classes that can cover every role is insane.
In the opener, i'm out of juice after after activating Citadel of Bombardment so I can't perform Sword 5 and 2 of the Sword 2. help?
You might not have swapped legend when you're below 10 energy to trigger the Charged Mists trait (25 extra energy on weapon swap). If you don't get the timing right there you'll only have 50 energy and not enough to use sword 2 and 5 after Citadel Bombardment.
@@connorconcarne Oks oks thanks a lot for this sir.
I know gs is better now but are swords still viable? I like using them more
Swords are once again higher DPS (slightly) compared to Greatsword. Both are good options though.
@@connorconcarne thanks very much
Can i just go full Diviner trinkets and leave the rest berserker?
Yep that would work just fine. With ascended gear that should get you to 38.7% boon duration which will give you permanent alacrity. Anything over 33% is good.
@@connorconcarne nice, thank you!
do you have a version for open world?
The build shown in the video would be totally fine for open world and would do amazing at group events due to the perma alacrity it pumps out. Alacrity is one of the less common boons to come across in open world content I find. For traits, I'd make sure to take Incensed Response (Invocation) to help cap might, you could potentially swap Swift Termination (Devastation) for Dance of Death for some extra sustain if you preferred as well. It pairs well with all the vulnerability you apply with Icerazor's Ire.
Power Alacrity Renegade has great burst which is great for open world and I run it all the time.
what is that weapon skin? the red one
Those will be the Bloodflame Sword Skins. You can get them from the Black Lion Statuette vendor.
I don't know if I am doing something wrong or it was changed but when you do your first initial opener and swap to shiro, you gain 75 energy and I gain 50. WHYYYY
Check that you have the trait Charged Mists selected in the Invocation line. After that, you need to make sure you swap Legends when you're below 10 energy. Else you won't get the extra 25 energy. If you are too slow with pressing your skills your energy will regenerate past the 10 energy threshold so you need to be quick. You can use Heroic Command to burn some extra energy in a pinch if you need.
@@connorconcarne oh shittttt okay i was not doing that damn thank you hahah
can i use hammer instead of staff?
You could use it if you really wanted a ranged option. However, I'd recommend the staff in group content. The CC from Staff 5 is just too good to pass up.
@@connorconcarne aight aight thanks!! ^^
is it better than power vindicator?
It fills a different role than Vindicator. Alacrity Renegade is a boon support class which increases your team's overall damage. Vindicator is a more selfish DPS class typically. I use them both regularly.
@@connorconcarne my greatsword legendary is kinda useless if i go with renegade
Power rene has always been my favourite, but i hate kalla because having to place all the utility skills makes it clunky to play.
The Kalla skills do take some time to get used to. I often get caught out by the cast times and end up cancelling one of them.
Have you tried one of the different ground targeting modes? I have fast ground-target by default for no clicking, but you can also have the game set them on you or your target (you can even keybind the different ways this works^^)
@@lenaistalar8032 i didn't know this.
Discretize hasn't updated their builds in almost a year. I'm not sure I'd rely on them anymore tbh.
Yeah, unfortunately their main builds don't get updated frequently enough. Their Gear Optimiser seems to though. That is still an amazing tool.
Gear optimiser is definitly uptodate
Is this build still viable?? Thx ❤
Hiya! Yep this build is still great and is absolutely incredible in Fractals in particular.
Skin lists pls
Every piece of the armor is from the Etherbound set. The swords are the Bloodflame Sword skins.
Huh. I guess renegade is better than being parked near the quartz node.
I does have it's uses, I mean in addition to mining for quartz haha.
Just seems like to much button mashing.
