WvW Armor Knight or Rampage
Why not mix & match so you’ve got a good balance of each? You don’t have to use the same stats on every piece of gear you’ve got.
you mean 3piece Knight 3 piece rapmage?

or 2 and 4 or 1 and 5 Build an armor set that gives you your desired mix of stats ^^
sSmething like.
You get different stat bonuses for most items. Chest pieces have the largest bonus, than the Leggings. Boots, Gloves & Epaulets are the lowest with the Mask just a little bit higher. I tend to go Knight’s for Coat & Leggings and then have everything else be Carrion, which is power, vitality & condition damage because I like having the extra HP.
Doing it like this tends to give a good balance, once you factor Weapons, Jewelry & Attribute points as well.
Full Berserker’s. Duh.
I personally chose to use a mix of knights and carrion (vitality + toughness). Weapons are P+T+V and jewelery P+Pre+CD. I run mantra healing using the mantra of pain as my auto attack. My weapon sets are staff and sword/focus. I really love running this build. I’m very survivable and a great support character for my team in WvW.

I have mixed feelings about high tough/vitality in WvW and I will try to explain below. You can usually escape from 2-4 or 5 people using your dodge rolls, blink and decoy, but that probably is not going to save you from a large group of players. With so many people spamming CC on you you are going to die and it may be that all that toughness/vitality helped you live 1 more second in that situation. I am using full berserker atm and admit that I am a glass cannon, but I think we have a real advantage with our clones, decoy and blink that really help us to live considerably longer while also putting out some very nice damage. Maybe the best suggestion is to try out different combinations of the rare gear as it is fairly inexpensive and only slightly less powerful than exotic and you can that combination that works best for you. Whatever you choose, goodluck!
