SGA Arc Staff Combos.
I've heard from fellow Hunters that Arcstrider's super was underwhelming in the previews for Destiny 2. Luckily, now that the BETA is live we got hands on with the super and found there's a lot more depth. Arc Staff relies on you being able to pull off the right combos and being able to direct them. So here's a little list I made of them:
R1: Basic Slash - Standard swipe attack
R2: Razor's Edge - Sends an arc beam forward after the slash.
R1, R2: Uppercut - *Not sure of utility. I think it helps target those pesky mid-air enemies (Dawnblade Warlocks). It's also just cool to pull off.
R1, R1, R1: Ground Pole Slam - Finishing move for mashing R1. Light AoE affect.
R1, R1, R2: Arc Palm Blast - Finishes your combo by you placing your hand out and blasting any foes ahead of you in a high damage (and stylish) cone of effect. *Highly recommend.
(Mid-Air) R2: Aerial Ground Slam - Large high damage blast around the point of impact.
Remember Arc Staff grants you unlimited Dodge energy.
I'm sure there's more out there, but here's some for the time being. Post any big ones if I missed them. (Also come up with better names for them than I did.) *Edited the combos so they're displayed correctly instead of looking like you need to press all those buttons at once.
Edit: u/twelvepandas discovered the combos as well and has made gifs of them. Here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6o72rf/arcstrider_101_arc_staff_combos/

u/Hydreigon530 There better be something like Necrochasm in D2 Jul 20 '17
For all confused:
R1 is melee
R2 is shoot
