Guild Wars 2

I’m about to level a rev for the first time, and I have a few questions.
Since I love condition playstyles I was thinking of leveling with an emphasis on condi damage.
What I would like to know is the following:
1. What weapon setup should I be looking for?
2. What stats would be recommended for this playstyle?
3. What utility spells would be recommended for leveling?
4. What specializations should I be unlocking first, second and third as well as which traits to go for (i.e Top Top Top, Top Mid Bottom, etc)

Thank you for your time.

you can get by with carrion gear from trading post as a placeholder. Mace and axe is your main weps, with staff on switch. Eventually youd want to craft weapons and armor with viper stats. You can grind viper accessories from the ls3 maps.

Regarding utility spells, a revenants utilies are locked to the legends you use. A significant change from every other class.

Thank you for your input, one question if I may, the specializations in the link you posted, is that the order I should be unlocking them while leveling when I don’t have access to multiple specialization slots?

Unlock corruption, devastation and invocation first.

I have always found power to be the better leveling spec for all classes. you can’t take down 20 mobs all at once, but you rarely, if ever, come across that. Power kills faster, and just has the utility you need for fast leveling.

I would suggest going S/S amd either hammer for some range, or a secondary OH axe for a gap closer, and something to pull mobs together while stunning then for a second.

You can level with whatever, typically. If you want to level as a Condi damage Rev, you’ll be using Mace and Axe with whatever you feel,like on the offhand.

When picking up skills, you’ll want to acquire the full tree for Demon and Assassin Stances first. Demon is the Condi damage stance, and Assassin focuses on agility and rapid attacks. These will serve you best for condition damage.

Pick the Corruption Trait Line first, then Devastation, then Invocation. Corruption benefits Condi damage, while Devastation boosts dual wielding. Lastly, nab Invocation for bonuses relations around Fury. Those’ll get you to 80.
