Guild Wars 2

I always see topics with people having tankier armor sets like Knights mix’d with Soldier etc. So my question is anyone run full Berserker and hows that working out for you? I figure it would be good since we have access to a lot of boons but I’m curious of what other people have to say.

Oh and I curious how workable it is in dungeons.

It works fine. I use all zerker except my legendary which is PVT (stingy about transmuting) and then I have the Triforge pendant (celestial stats). Zerker is really viable for guards due to our access to many boons. It’s good for dungeons as long as you know when and what to dodge. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are new to dungeons, but once you get a grip on your build, I would transition to zerker gear in the end.

I used to run full zerker gear, and didn’t like it. Now I mainly run with a mixed set when solo’ing or grouped with good players. I change out several pieces for clerics when I’m with pugs or doing content I don’t do all the time.

Most, if not all, of the competent players i know run in full zerker gear. I think knights, soldiers, and clerics are more common among the average pug player though.

Not again ^^^^^

If you play well as an individual (knowing when to sidestep, dodge, blind, block, etc) and have a good group (use combo fields, stack boons, CC, rally each other quickly) then you can get away with full berserker stats. For most of us, you want some survivability stats.

Depends, with our healing and mitigation, we can get away with full zerker gear, if you can avoid the dmg in the first place. Certainally for pve.

For pvp it depends, youhave a lot of dmg with zerker, but is that what you want? In a zerg, dmg is not really the most important thing, survival is. If you are alive, you contribute, even if you do nothing else. you soak dmg from the rest of the zerg, you provide more targets for aoe to be distributed around, you add to the intimidation factor. So it depends on how your run really,

For pve, throw on as much dps gear as you can get away wiiith and still live, whichis down to the individual, for pvp, esp wvwvw, I’d suggest going more survival oriented.
