LB/GS WvW Roaming build
If I were you, I will go either
1, full zerk (maybe with a little bit utility for survival) burst— play a you die or I die game (use LB3 wisely is the key)
or 2, go full regen/con + BM and change LB to short bow — play a sustain pressure game. It’s much easier than 1 but less interesting.
You current build won’t kill any1 with even a little bit skills in roaming.
Gimme an hour to get home and I’ll suggest a little some tweaks

I know it’s sub-optimal but I’ve played conditank and I’m bored so I want to try a power build, gs is fun and longbow is fun in eotm ^^ I want to be as bursty as possible while keeping sustain from vigor/regen.
I want to be as bursty as possible while keeping sustain from vigor/regen.
In my exp, it’s conflicted. No way to keep both sustain + bursty, at least for ranger. I play regen/con BM ranger as well sometime so I know it’s boring. Full zerk power is totally different style, it’s just a you die or I die game, more challenging, more fun, you make 1 mistake=you die. The key of power build is the damage, if you can not give a deadly burst, there is no point to go power build. LB3 + GS3 is the key for you to reset a fight if the initial burst failed. You may want either protect me or traited SoS to buy you sometime to get 2nd chance in case you missed 1st LB3.
I’ve tried to make this build work, even grabbed fury runes for permenant fury, it does not work. It also doesn’t work with clerics gear if you were hoping that would help.
However, at least with clerics you would be giving out great regen boons to your group,(I know you were looking for roaming, just saying) but you lack the stability boon necessary for this role. (Have to stay with frontline since regen/swiftness isn’t ground targeted)
If you would like a roaming, yet tanky build, go 30/x/30/x/x if looking for full damage 30/30/x/x/x. The latter will die to a butterfly, but it can kill other berserker toons. It doesn’t have the sustain to kill a condi OR tanky direct damage build(like guardian)
