Hello everyone! Really, I just need gear advice on a Shatter build. I’ve been trying to get involved in roaming in WvW, but it’s extremely unfriendly to noobs out there. I have a hodge-podge of gear at the moment with mostly Berseker that’s only from CoF, and terrible dungeon dropped trinkets. I don’t know what to go for.

My recent experience was getting killed in 2 shots by a zerker thief (No surprise there he was with 2 others too). Then, I tried to do a 1v1 with a warrior and got blind sided by an Ele and got killed before I could recover from the knockdown. I’m trying really hard to enjoy this game’s PvP, but it’s extremely difficult.

TL:DR : I’m super squishy, What gear can I use to survive more than 3 hits and not hit like a wet noodle.

I’m also using greatsword and sword/x. I can’t decide on pistol, sword, or torch (Stealth to make them lose target and condi removal).

Still for shatter a mixture of knights valkyrie and cavalier gear will help. Also as stated above osicat is definitely worth watching. Sorry about the mispost.

Also Vash is worth watching, he tends to run full zerker or close to. He has some video guides as well.

That’s something that I’ve never thought of doing! That sounds interesting.
I changed the topic to shatter build, because I want to play a build that would confuse people, and I didn’t think a phantasm build could do that. I appreciate your build idea, and the advice!!
Also, no worries! You didn’t Mispost, I changed the topic. Haha.

I think you die often because of no mobility. GS s/t I think would would a lot of things. or Staff s/x.

Staff is just amazing on shatter. I feel like a s/d thief in fights
