Hello!
Im considering changing my zerk gear after i find no use of it, because there is no more cof speedrunes. I wonder what should I take, I will be mostly doing pve, but sometimes some WvW aswell in large groups, maybe even try out some solo.
I need gear that can sustain high level fractals, but I dont want to be tanky, I want to deal some DPS aswell and im a good quite good dodger.

My requierments are:
- main weapon: GS
- secondary weapon: Hammer, Longbow, Mace/Shield, Axe/Shield

If its not possible to have a build that is good in wvw and pve aswell, than the only thing im willing to change between doing pve and wvw are traits, I want perm gear

Since I know how it feels to post a thread and get no responses even though there are plenty of views, I’ll make my view useful. This is all my opinion and from experience so I don’t know how useful it will be. CoF farm isn’t the only thing berserker gear is good for. If you are in PvE, you can still stay berserk. You could slip in a few knight or soldier pieces to help with survivability but if you are a good dodger, then just stay full zerk. Try running a GS/Axe + Shield like I am. It allows the mobility (and hundred blades) of the GS and the defense of the shield. Try running either 30/25/00/15(solo play) or 30/00/10/30(organized group dungeons) for your traits. The thing is, WvW tends to involve mass zerging so having a more survivable build is very helpful. I can’t really off the top of my head think of a good WvW AND PvE build involving berserker, so I think what you could do if you want to keep the armor the same is to run full zerker armor and find a tanky build(only one I can remember is like 30/0/20/20/0 or something). The berserker armor will even out with the build and you’ll be able to do decent damage and survive okay. The only things you might want to switch out besides traits between WvW and PvE are weapons. Using hammer, rifle or longbow are all really helpful in WvW in my opinion so perhaps stock a spare of those weapons? I hope this helped!

I ran zerk chest legs and helm, with PTV shoulders, gloves, and boots with zerk/cavalier trinkets on my warrior for a long time in both PvE and WvW. Got a nice blend of attack power/survivability that was good enough for both. You could trade the PTV stuff for kinghts to get more toughness. Zerk is fine for just PvE but if you want to survive in WvW you need a tougher build. GS-Mace/shield is a pretty effective build and if you want a range weapon LB with cleansing Ire trait is the way to go.

Be careful what you wish for, Anet might just give it to you “HoT”
