Knight Gear
For exotic rarity and below, swap out weapons and armor because it’s usually the cheaper change. What you swap only determines the magnitude of the change – you don’t lose any attribute points if you change out one piece instead of another (which wasn’t always the case). Swapping shoulders, gloves, or boots will have the smallest effect; then helm; then legs; then chest; then weapons will have the largest effect. The wiki has a table of the attribute bonuses granted by equipment of each rarity.
Depending on what you’re fighting, you could also try LOSing them so that you can hit more of them with a single attack, or if you’re fighting melee mobs cast Glyph of Elemental Power in Earth attunement so that your attacks in any attunment will apply cripple, allowing you to kite mobs very easily.

Thanks.. Maybe I will be able to keep all of Zerker gear and go with your last suggestion. I will try it when I get home this evening.
Valkyrie is better in my opinion. more hp also protects against pesky conditions + since you probably have near perma fury up time the extra crit damage outweighs the extra crit chance. Or if its in pve/wvw you could combine the two.
