Okay hi there. I had amazing luck finding some REALLY helpful people giving me advice on my new guardian build over on the guardian forms, and got some positive feedback on my Mesmer Condition Torment/Confusion build over on the Mesmer forms, So here I am again stepping into new territory.

What I’m looking for, for my little baby Revenant, is a good leveling build, then an Endgame build that’s good in PvE, Arena, and WvW, like my dragonhunter build which translates across all three VERY well. http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAT5ensABVDhddCmDB8DhlEi6aZDgEQ+5b+sPL/+vAE-ThRLgAvKDeU/BQ3A3+DxK98VCGAABgbucbucbezA-e

Something like that, except for Revenants. I’m looking for a nice mix of damage with some solid, survivability. Keep in mind, I’m not looking to one shot, or rapid kill anything, and I’m not looking for a full on bunker. I’m basically just looking to be efficient in what I do.

As for weapons, I’m kind of looking at either dual swords, or Sword Shield, and I’m KIND of liking how staff skills are looking, but will totally use a hammer too.

I really look forward to seeing what advise you all have to give. And thank you in advance to those of you who take the time to help me out.

I am at work so I cant remember traits fully but I use
Devastation:
Rapid Lacerations(Damage increase with sword hits)
Assassin’s Presence (Extra Ferocity)
Swift Termination(Incresed damage on target under 50%).

Invocation:
Cleansing Channel (Removes condi on legend swap)
Incensed Response (Fury after you stun-break)
Rolling Mist (Fury effect is doubled! Yay 40% crit chance)

If you do not have Herald take Fierce Infusion (Fury On heal) instead of Cleansing Channel

Retribution
Close Quarters (Enemies further away from you deal less damage)
Dwarven Battle Training (You hava chance to apply weakness on hit and weakness is less effective against you)
Versed in Stone (Use Right of the Great Dwarft (Jalis Elite) when struck under 50%)

Herald:
Radiant Revival (Place a boon on allies that converts damage into healing) Really helpful when trying to revive in bad spot. You just pop glint heal on yourself and start reviving your ally. Gets them up nice and quick.
Shared Empowerment (Everytime you give someone a boon you give them might aswell)
Soothing Bastion (You pop Shield skill 5 when low on hp. I don’t remember percentage)

In PvE I run Devastation, Invocation and Herald
In WvW I run Invocation, Retribution and Herald
In PvP I run Devastation, Retribution and Herald

Weapons

PvE I Run Sword Main hand and off-hand depends on situation. I prefer Axe against trash or while exploring and shield/sword against bosses since both give me nice block. Hammer as a swap
PvP I Run Sword Shield with Staff as a swap
WvW I Run Staff with Hammer as a swap

Gear

So far my armor is always the same Marauders with Strength Runes. I tried berserkers but I liked Marauders more due to revenants low condi cleanse. I am not sure how big is the difference in dps between Marauders and berserker. My AA crits on Sword are around 5 – 7k

The weapons I can’t remember.

My acessories are all berserkers in PvE
In WvW it depends if I am roaming I’ll use full zerk, if zerging I’ll add few knights pieces
