What traitline would work best for a revenant with sword and shield, and a hammer (aside from the obvious herald spec)? In addition what stances should I use as well as armor, accessories and weapon stats.

What are you planning on doing with it? Don’t see why you’d want to use shield for any reason other then “I like the look of it”

For regular world PvE go -> http://qtfy.eu/build/revenant and scroll down to Power Rev, then swap out Jalis for Shiro and you’re pretty much set. Don’t bother with the fancy sigils/foods/ascended if you’re doing regular PvE. Full exotic zerk and you’re good.

Sword and hammer are both pure damage weapons so I would say go full berserker. Shield isn’t really a damage weapon, axe would probably be more useful.

The stances would have to be herald for sure (as of now, dunno when renegade comes out) and depending on your game mode, shiro or jalis

I plan on using it for durability since it does have some nice healing skills. I might also use the glint stance to support allies in events and wvw/pvp

Ah i see..thats fine. Well the Glint stance is pretty much always good in any game mode. The weapons you want to use tho are all power weapons so whichever game mode you’re in you’ll be ok with the build shown in the link. Altho for WvW you’re gonna want more defensive stats. You can find WvW and sPvP builds here :

“I like the look of it” is a perfectly good reason to use it tbh.
With those weapons you can basically do anything that isn’t condition damage. So like boon support, ventari healing, glass cannon or tanky power approach, are all valid options for events/wvw.
