this is what I am running with right now. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAUlUUpEr1axPLseNCbBNqxA6JWi3+5DEgkC-TxAFgAo7Pq/kpDA4BAAA-e

Its used for eotm karma (badge for me) trains, open world pve, dry top shenanigans things like that. The trinkits are just a bunch of whatever has been the best thing I have run across and need to be replaced. The armor runes were a total of 40s for the set, so, down the road they are expendable. and that is what is actually a major sigil of air in the rifle that I had laying around taking up space.

Should I get a different set of armor for more survivability in fractals or for something else? What stats should I be looking for in trinkits for my current stuff or for a different set if that is advised? would it be worth getting a utility trinkit or 2 where available to put in magic find for times when agony resistance is not needed and have others with agony resist for fractals?

Well, you’re trying to have one universal build for everything and still expect from it to be pretty good. Something like that doesn’t exist.
For any PvE things (excluding karma train in EOTM, haha) best way is to equip full zerker gear with scholar runes and traits for heavy damage. In other words – deal damage as high as possible.
WvW is where the armor counts. I myself run always with around ~2800 armor and many deffensive traits and utilities.
If you’re casual player who doesn’t fancy WvW – equip for PvE.
If you’re rather of a WvWer – equip for WvW (and still, you will be able to do PvE – just your damage will be lower).

actually, I am not asking for a universal build at all. I was asking what stat set I might consider for a different (read additional) set of armor for places where I need more survivability. I was asking about a second build, not what a “universal one” is.
