Guild Wars 2

Ok, so I just started a week ago and I’m into it with my dad(the one who got me into it.) He’s been teaching me how to play but I don’t understand the basics of combos and building (in revenant or at all.) Can I get some tips and tricks on those sorts of things within the revenant class I’ve tried doing homework on it, but all there is, is peoples opinions on the class. Please leave info on build strats, gameplay tips, and anything you think can help me as a player I wanna make this a game I’m dedicated too, but I don’t know a lot. Thanks for reading, comments are more than appreciated!

Well first of all you need to say what gamemode you prefer.
Generally what is unique for revenant is energy managment. So you need to get used for its flow. And for me the secret of revenant is in being greedy with energy. Be as passive as you can if situation affords, just position yourself and aa but at the right moment spend it all as a devastating kitten

He started a week ago. He might not even know the answer to that question yet.

@OP First of all, take your time. You’re not going to learn the ins and outs of your class in a week, especially when you play rev.

About combos, there are basically 2 categories of them.

Firstly, skills that chain and combine directly. This mostly comprises of how to utilize combo fields. For example as revenant, you have your mace skills #2 and #3. #2 drops a thing called a Combo Field: Fire. Using mace skill #3 inside the field will blast the field to give 3 Might. That’s because mace #3 is called a Combo Finisher: Blast.
There are 9 different types of Combo fields and 4 types of finishers, and each combination of these will yield a different result. You will just have to learn them, there’s really no way around that.

Secondly, there are combo skill chains that don’t combine directly in a way that produces a combined effect. It’s more about setting skills so that they each land perfectly. A good example of this is when you are wielding Sword/Sword and Staff as the second set. When on S/S, use #4 flip/2nd skill to immobilize your foe, then use #5 to separate them from their friends/line them up for your next skill, and then quickly swap to Staff and use #5 to safely land the entire Surge of the Mists.

If there are more, I forget, but that’s the jist of it. Now you just have to learn to use them.

For builds, try playing around with this:

It’s a bit outdated, some of the skills/traits don’t do exactly what they say on the editor, but it’s atleast easier to use than the game interface. And you get to try out different things.
