Need some suggestions for PVP and WVW
Zerker guard requires you to know how to play your opponents build as well as you know your own build. You have all the blinds and blocks you could ever wish for you just have to know when and how to use them. In my play, both players being of equal skill, zerker guard can beat Hambows and engies (any type) but will really struggle against a good condi necro. The good news is 99.9% of condi necros are terribad.

I can only talk about pvp as I don’t WvW much so here goes.
DPS med guard in soloq is viable at any part of the bracket IF you know how to play it vs each class. It can be very unforgiving in some matchups so always be on your toes and land those blinds/time your blocks. Build wise, my go to is 2/1/6/1/4 gs+sc/fc with zerker ammy and pirate runes (or travelers if you feel slow/don’t want the bird). Sigils can be changed as you feel necessary. Air/fire if you want more burst potential, generosity if you struggle vs condi, and force for the flat damage bonus. I will generally air/fire both sets unless the team has 2-3 condi heavy classes then I will swap for a generosity. Bunker guard can work, but you need to be able to 2v1 for a long time as most of your teammates won’t rotate in time at lower levels so it’s best to save that until later in my opinion.

Everything he said about playstyle is 100% true in wvw.
