Armor: Knights
Accessories: Valkyrie
Weapons: Valkyrie
Pros:
-High durability
-With Quickness the Greatsword’s auto-attack is almost invulnerability due to evasion
-High CC
-Provides long lasting Warhorn Buffs thanks to Nature Magic
-Points in Beastmastery turn your Pet into a threat, as well as providing Quickness, and an increase in Per Survivability and Quickness uptime due to Pet-swap cooldown decrease.
Cons:
-Mediocre damage
Pet Choices:
-PvE Solo- Anything goes, usually at least one Canine
-PvE Dungeons- Dual Bears (specifically Brown for condition removal)
-PvP- Dual Canines
I use the same build in SPvP, except I switch out the Axe/Warhorn for the Shortbow for the additional CC.
Dungeon Playstyle:
-Speed Rally downed players with Quickness (super important since you’re going to be one of the least likely players to drop)
-Tank/CC Foes
-Utilize Bears appropriately to distract bosses via
-Provide Warhorn Buffs and remove conditions via Brown Bear
-Pop Entangle when your team is about to be overrun
SPvP Playstyle:
You have two main functions:
-Provide additional CC via Daze to ruin an enemy’s chance at healing. This takes practice.
-Backfield objective disruption. You’re tanky. Use that fact to your advantage!
General tips:
-Use Lightning Reflexes if you get stunned. Seems like a no-brainer, but you should be the one in control of the fight due to your evasion, durability, and CC. Being on your back goes against that.
-Dodge roll frequently for protection. Don’t forget to give your pet protection as well.
-Don’t back out if your health is low. Barkskin will save you, or you would have died anyway.
Note: I’m still experimenting with Runes, but Emerald Orbs are a cheap and efficient way to Rune your armor (they’re also what I’m currently using).

I’m running this currently, I’m not a pro or anything, but I find it’s great in PVE. Zephyr quickening buff is great, and with 5 pts in beast line you also get quickening by swapping pets.
I originally started this build to encourage me to pay more attention to my pets, now I swap on cool down without fail, keeps them alive longer, and I get 2 secs of quick, which you’d be surprised how much extra damage you can cause in those 2 seconds.
I’m not really sold on signet of the wild, but haven’t found anything else I rather there. Spike Trap is great solo, but I’d like swap to flame trap for the combo field in a group.
