Ok helpful players, I am in search of some advice.
I have been playing a Mesmer since release, and a Mesmer is my only character i have played.
Let me give some back ground info on my build and play style.
I run GS/Staff with decoy, the skill that pops 2 illusions, and the signet that gives clones more health. ( I forget the name) my traits are… Well they work.
My usual combo is decoy, 2 clones, mind wrack, as they are rushing I pop a zerker and GS2 followed by GS3, I might swap to staff at this point with a staff 2, and a quick F2 depending on how the zerker is doing.
Slight variations of that combo depending on amount of enemies, and health level.

I ran full carrion all through the leveling process and when i hit 80 I bought an explorers set. (For obvious reasons) that explorers set brought my to map over 90% of the world, as well as all the way through the personal story.
I have saved up all the mats I need to craft a full exotic set, armor, staff, GS, and jewels.
I’m torn on what is going to be the best for my build and play style. I debated carrion again, but then though that I really don’t deal a ton of conditions to justify the carrion set and I think there might be a better option.
Here are my ideas,
A full berserker set, for the added crit damage and precision. But then I thought about the loss of vitality.
So then I looked at Valkyrie set, and then realized I will be missing out on precision and worry about the crit chance being to low.
Now I am maybe debating a mix and match set, of berserker armor with valkrie jewels.
My runes I am thinking of sup infiltration for the added crit stats.
Sigils In the weapons I think sup sigil of accuracy for the same reason.

I would like some opinions based on my build, play style and idea.
If there is a better option please let me know, and back it up on a reason why.
What about the jewel slots? What to stick in the upgrade slots?

My traits I will change based on whatever gear I go with, no need to worry to much about that.
The use of this set will be normal pve, events, dungeons, and the occasional wvw visits.

If you want some additional info let me know.

Thanks all! I know the answer is out there.

Full zerker is really not a bad idea. Throwing in some valkyrie/knights is also fine.

Stat budget on different item slots is pretty sloppy, so you can end up making some bad choices with hybrid builds sacrificing far more crit% than necessary.

So zerker armor with sup infiltration runes.
Valk jewels with beryl stones
And the zerker weapons with sigil of accuracy
Would not be a bad idea?
Given above info about my build. Traits I will worry about later.
