Opposite of Berserker
Just go celestial. Bunker/tank ele isn’t a viable build option anymore in sPvP, and I doubt it ever was in WvW. If you want to just stand there and not do anything but soak damage then warrior and guardian are far better in every capacity anyways.
Depends, what do you want it for?
If pvp, then go cele.
If pve, then don’t do it.
If wvw, probably mix of zerker armour and defensive trinkets.
If for trolling, nomad/cleric is your choice.
Extremely tanky is really a waste of time, because you never will be extremely tanky in the same way a Guardian is. Ele can sure survive, but it’s relying on a lot of utility and such to do so, and that isn’t very helpful in Zergs of any type – WvW or WB or whatever. In a dungeon, maybe, but the guardian would still be better. You can build to have some less consistent burst damage and also a great deal of 1v1 potential for WvW. I do this a lot. I’d go for half or more Celestial armor, and the rest Soldiers or Valk, then berserker trinks. Choosing staff will allow you to still do big area damage in the zerg, and then modify the normal sPvP build (00266) to something a bit more zergy, like 40226, or 20246, but not the usual hardcore zerker build. You can swap to D/D or whatever you prefer 1v1 if you have the heads up to do so, but it isn’t impossible at all to 1v1 with staff, and arguable easier to 1v2 than D/D if you play very well. As far as runes or sigils, if you really wanted to be tougher I just don’t know if there’s a rune that’s worth it. The value of having Runes of Strength on an Ele is pretty hard to match. The only thing I could really suggest otherwise is a healing build, and they really are not viable – you could keep yourself alive great though, I don’t doubt that, so maybe that’s what you’re after.

Nomad is definitely the opposite.
