Guild Wars 2

So i know the general consensus is that Longbow/Greatsword is the best for a Zerker build….

but the question is…while leveling, especially low levels like lvl 20ish….what weapon should i use?

I ask because i don’t feel like im doing as much dps with my longbow as my shortbow

also, what are the best pets to use for a zerker build?

weapon choice is up to you

shortbow does more dps with bleeds than long bow hands down

but if your zerker build, having point blank shot to knock enemies back is very useful
find a wep that you like for what play style you have

for pets you can either go tank or dps

bears tank
cats dps

I use LB/GS on my zerker build with wolf/jaguar pets at lv 80 mainly for WvW. At lv 20, a shortbow is nicer due to having more control and conditions for extra damage while providing moderate damage.

Note: Never pick a bear for a zerker build (in PvP/WvW). Bears are terrible.

Just use whatever you’re more comfortable with, or the weapon in your inventory that happens to have the highest stats since you’re still leveling

Pet selection is situational and depends on your personal preference I think, more than your build. Until you hit dungeons you shouldn’t have problems keeping any pet alive in basic PvE anyway, so just pick whatever style you like best.

PS: I am full berserker and use LB/GS, and usually birds in basic PvE because I like the spike (canines in PvP for CC)
