The Renegade is one of the professions with the most support and utility. It provides permanent Alacrity, half of the necessary Might with

and
.
Damage-wise the Renegade is on the lower end compared to the other damage dealing classes. This does not imply that the damage doesn't matter; in fact Renegade has a very juicy burst that makes slacking DPS players sweaty.
Since the Renegade is a power-oriented build it benefits from

Dealing with No Pain, No Gain
Note that with a build like Scrapper, Virtuoso, Scourge, or Specter who can strip boons while doing their rotation, you shouldn't have to deal with Mistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain on most fights. Although there will be some T4s where you will need to help and also on Arkk and MAMA depending on the build.
There are multiple weapons in your arsenal to deal with the instability Mistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain and make it easier to manage the boons that the enemy will receive from this instability. For fractals with Mistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain it is recommended to run a staff with
instead of a
. The
will transfer three boons from enemies to you when you interrupt an attack. For enemies with a defiance bar, using a CC skill while the enemy is casting any ability counts as interrupting, even if there is no "interrupted" message. This can also be run on Sword instead of
if necessary, and the boonstrip can be procced with
  • Diviner

As for legends that you want to run, the general rule of thumb in groups that perform at least relatively well is to run

. If you find the stability to be an issue on Artsariiv in slower groups where

or alternatively heavily rely on your

Situational Traits
If you can't profit from
and someone in your party needs any of the boons given by
. This would most likely be a Guardian in need of Resolution.
This trait will allow you to provide 25 stacks of Might to your party. If you also want to provide 100% Alacrity in longer fights you will need 100% Boon Duration, however on shorter fights or in fast groups you may be able to get away with less if you precast at the Mistlock Singularity.
This trait is a personal DPS increase. It can be used on shorter fights where you can precast most of the required Alacrity at the Mistlock Singularity.

Rotation / Skill usage
Renegade openers
Renegade Fractal Openings (outdated but a good base to work on).
Information
Golem rotations out of the raid builds are generally suboptimal in fractals due to Exposed and phases being much shorter compared to raids. The raid rotations are optimized for sustained DPS while in fractals a player needs the ability to adapt a rotation to the amount of time a group needs to finish a phase. For that reason you can find a video with openers, that are efficient to use here.
For more information about advanced rotation and gameplay refer to Static Renegade CM guides.
