Turned 80 yesterday. I am 15/0/30/20/5. Right now focused on PvE and Personal story completion. I have full sets of: Exotic Knight’s Draconic and Exotic Zerker gear. As well as PVT Vigil gear…

I currently just use my Berzerker’s Pearl Broadsword of Bloodlust greatsword, it’s my fav weapon and the one I am most comfy with. I have superior sigil of bloodlust on that.

My accessories are mixmatched, but have a 400 jewelry crafter so can craft anything.

Which superior runes should I use for my armor? Advice on accessories would be great too.

Congrats on hitting 80!

I use the same armor sets (Knight’s and Zerk). Knight’s armor has the commonly used soldier runes for shouts/condition removal, and I usually run the standard 30/30/10 on that. Only use Knight’s when I really need more survivability and support functionality in dungeons (e.g. PUGs).

Mostly, though, I use Brazil’s Zerk build for everyday things: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/83701-the-perfect-dps-guardian-build/ Running it almost exactly (different sigils on some of the weapons), with Scholar runes. If you’re comfortable with the GS and use it in most situations, maybe this build with Scholar runes wouldn’t work best for you if you’re up close and getting hit here and there (and not using a 1HS). If you mainly use shouts, maybe soldier runes would still work well for the additional support. However, I strongly promote Brazil’s build, as it’s worked incredibly well for me.

For trinkets, everyone always says zerk, so that’s what I’d suggest. Just work on FotM to get the majority of your trinkets, or if you don’t like FotM, just make the exotic zerk ones.

Sorry if this ends up not being helpful for you…good luck!
