revenant build
For power build use Marauder set\amulet and staff+sword+shield, Devastation\invocation\herald traits.
in pve exploring everything that lets you kill and not die works.
In pve dungeons, fractals try to focus on dps and specific utility on specific situations like using a ventari projectile barrier when there are tons of dangerous projectiles all the time.
In WvW it depends on your role. Scout, roamer, front,middle or back of the zerg or maybe a commander?
In pvp you use pvp amulet and pvp runes and pvp weapon sigils. Your pve gear means absolutely nothing in this part of the game.
While Mettabattle.com has some nice builds for you to get started with in pvp you still have to understand your own class, the classes you are facing in pvp, the roles and objectives of the pvp match as well as enemy movement.
And then there is also the part where you actually need to have skill in order to be somewhat good (this applies to all professions, do not behave or play pvp as you would in pve)
I use this for spvp, as condition rev

As for herald trait line, I use bastion, yet look out for its bugged, and condition can kill you (problem is that you cannot cancel the shielding when the trait procs)
As for gameplay, suggesting to don’t go suicide, Anet rev -aka mele condi rev – get close all the time so they run away, no, just go when there is an option to run, they will just stun you and kill you fast as possible, make used of your aoes, and teambuffs.
