Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
Just wanting some feedback from some fellow necros who have tried wvw and pve using zerker gear. What were your preferred traits, utilities and weapon choices (sigils included) … Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

If you’re going Zerker, it’s definitely going to be Dagger mainhand, and since it’s PvE/WvW, I’d recommend Warhorn. Wells, or corruption/Signets. Definitely want Air sigil on your dagger.

30 in Spite with Close to Death is generally a must

15 in Curses is generally a must

and the rest can be thrown around randomly like a child painting a canvas of nonsense.

I disagree with 15 in Curses. There are better sources of fury (teammates, runes) , and 30 in soul reaping (by contrast to the implied 25) is 5% more crit damage and the possibility of traiting for stability, which is a must-have in many situation (WvW, and some dungeons like Arah).

Yes, the dagger is good. A death shroud traited to pierce, grant might, and apply vulnerability is even better imho, and those are the traits you should aim for : ) If you plan to use the DS#1 intensively, Signet of Undeath is great, especially considering it’s active effect.

The axe is also pretty nice, I have seen it’s #2 hit over 10k, and it is on very short recharge if traited. But yeah, Close to Death is very good too.

The first offhand will obviously be a warhorn, the second one will either be a staff (very arguable), or a focus (personal preference, chill and vulnerability are always nice).

For the other utility, Well of Corruption is nice, but you might want to invest in mobility and stun breaking, such as flesh wurm and spectral walk. I have also used Blood is Power at times.

For the elite? I like Become the Snow Leopard. It brings huge mobility. I find that the Lich form autoattack is disappointing, as it hits for less than a full death shroud :/ Besides, in a build focused on damage, bringing yet another damage source feels a bit meh. I rather something useful.
