GW2. WvW Build. Support Hybrid Renegade WvW Zerg Build. Support Renegade. Revenant World vs World.
Last Update: October 2024
The Support Hybrid Renegade is a Revenant WvW Zerg Build with high boon application and great boon ripping potential. Unlike traditional support, it does not heal. Rather, it is more of a utility class that give boons such as Alacrity and Stability to its group.
There are two ways this build can remove boons. One is from the Brutality trait that removes a stack of stability when hitting an enemy while the renegade itself has Quickness. Quickness is gained from the Rage Sigil and from swapping weapons. Brutality will allow you to remove a large and wide amount of stability as you keep hitting enemies with your weapons or the pulsing damage from Jalis Hammers, but because it is so spread out and incremental it is not immediately impactful. The second is by using the Mallyx stance skill Banish Enchantment which is more of a single targeted rip and can really destroy an enemy when you find them out of position or they are the focus target for your teammates.
Otherwise, your role is to provide key boons. Pressing Orders From Above (F4) off cooldown will give your nearby allies Alacrity. While in Jalis stance, use Inspiring Reinforcements to pulse Stability in your team’s path. After hitting a couple enemies to get your stacks of Kalla’s Fervor, use the F2 to give Might stacks to your allies.
Once you understand and can perform the above, that is your main job and anything further you do is just some supplemental damage.
Skill Priority
- F4
- Inspiring Reinforcements
- F2
- Banish Enchantment
- Weapon Skills
- F2
Basic Rotation
- Swap Legend/Weapon Stance when possible
- Mix Jalis with Staff and Mallyx with Hammer
- Hammer 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 2 > Banish Enchantment
- Inspiring Reinforcements > Staff 5 > Vengeful Hammers
When in dangerous situations, always prioritize defense over everything else. Use Pain Absorption in Mallyx to give resistance to allies and Rite of the Great Dwarf in Jalis to reduce strike damage taken by allies.
