Guild Wars 2

Will zerker gear do for wvw or is it not common?

Zerker and bunker don’t work together. Zerker gear is used more for backline. If your looking for a bunker set, you might want to check out some of the new stats that came out with HoT, you will also need to own HoT to be able to acquire/craft the new armors, runes, sigils.

But like always it will depend on what your playstyle is, and what your trying to use your toon for.

I have HoT, I’m looking to buy a set of orange armor with proper sigils runes and what not,, not sure which one though if not zerker.
I do want to deal a fair amount of damage but I need something that goes well with the build.

Well it will depend on your playstyle. Do you want to run in a zerg frontline or backline, or are you interested in roaming. Do you run with a guild, some guilds will ask people to run specific builds etc. Bunker is a defensive set, zerker is offensive. So it will depend on how you want to play.

Mainly roaming in a group of 3-5, in a zerg – just provide support, don’t care to be a frontline or backline

Say, if zerker is the most offensive, what are the next two armor types going towards protection?

You might want to consider celestial, and an energy sigil is always nice, the rune will depend on you if you want a more offensive/defensive boost.

Well if you’re “bunker” you’re going to want to:

• Bring earth traitline (Elemental shielding/Earth’s Embrace, Geomancer’s training, Stone heart is likely a good idea if your team has condi clear especially with the Diamond Skin nerf) , or run Fresh air and overload air more or less all the time for protection
• Carry Elemental Bastion from the Tempest traitline ( a must if you use tempest) , Unstable Conduit (aura on overload , in conjunction with Powerful aura from water traitline)/ Gale Song (stun break) , Harmonious Conduit (Stability)/ Invigorating Torrents IF you decide to use Water traitline and Cleansing Water , for condi clear
• Water traits to consider: Soothing Ice (pretty standard for all tempests , it’s an extra aura and -10% damage to you), Cleansing Wave (condition removal when attuning to water), Powerful aura if you decide to use unstable conduit / Cleansing Water if running invigorating torrents (remove condition on regen application) if you don’t use trooper rune
• Fire traits , on the odd chance you decide to bring it: Sunspot (minor) for heal on attunement swap + protection from elemental shielding, burning fire for 3 stack condi clear
• Arcane (evasive arcana , minor boon duration for more protection , protection when you switch to earth attunement , final shielding for stun break) : utilities would be triple cantrip (mist form, armor of earth, lightning flash) … if you don’t use tempest
• 16K+ HP (for an ele in WvW that’s a MUST), go D/F instead of staff for the invuln, and at the very least 2600 armor in non-earth attunements.
• bring a stunbreak (either Armor of earth,Mist form, eye of the storm)
• use energy sigils for more dodges , even more so if you bring Evasive arcana
• use saffron bread (-20% conditions on you) as food so that conditions don’t destroy you

Berserker /Marauder isn’t going to cut it since if you get hit with one Gunflame or CoR you’re toast. If you have around 2000-2400 armor that’s considered glass; a high power attack will do upwards of 10K critical on you.

You should probably consider a mix of celestial, marauder, crusader for tempest bunker
For runes, durability/trooper/radiance are good choices.

But try to look up some build guides for eles before you start making your own.
