Been checking on some guides and I am not sure which ones are the most up-to-date. I’d appreciate some of your guides if that’s okay. This is going to be primarily for PvE that could perhaps work in WvW as well. Thanks

FOR SKYRIM!!!!!

also look through the first couple of pages of this forum for heading that seem relevant as this is a very commly asked question, you should not have to look far back at all

Here’s a quick build I threw together that I think will fit your basic needs well.
One trait is optional, I prefer to go for Signet of the Hunt in WvW and swap to Lightning Reflexes before a fight. RAS allows you to hit 70% Crit, although you could change this to Entangle.

The Wilderness Survival trait line offers two well used Grand Master Traits

  • Bark Skin – negates hard damage under a HP threshold
  • Empathic Bond – Transfers conditions to your pet

I prefer Bark Skin by “a lot”, EB imo can hurt your pet too much. Saying that Empathic bond may be more useful in WvW Zerg fights than Bark Skin – but give it a try and its personal preference really

Speaking of pet; I usually stick to double up or mix of;
Roaming

  • Birds (Blind F2)
  • Wolf (Fear F2)
  • Drakehound (Fear F2

Zerg

  • Drakes (Power and AoE F2)
  • Spiders (Ranged)
  • Devourers (Ranged)
