Best armor/weapon for PVE and PVP
For PVE you want GS and Axe/Mace
Depends what you want to do PVE. For trash runs, sword and warhorn/shield with GS for mobility. If your actually fighting stuff, GS and axe with sword/mace/shield/warhorn offhand depending on what is required. On rare instances like some fractal boss encounters or generally when the rest of your group is deciding to range, you can take longbow.

Axe/Mace + Axe/Sword on PvE.
Hammer + Sword/Warhorn is the cookie-cutter for zerging.
SPvP and roaming have lots of different builds.
I’m still digging the Greatsword and Longbow in PvE and PvP. I still use Soldiers gear as well for PvE , along with zerker trinkets and for WvW I run Magi armor with Rabid weapons.
And about the armor, i really look forward for a good armor and even a good looking armor. I wanted at 1st to go for armageddon armor, cuz it looks very cool, but dunno if would be that wise.
OP the thing is, you’re not gonna find an armor thats optimal for Pve and pvp. Pve requires a 30 25 0 0 15 build full berserker with GS + Axe/Ma. However thats not good at all for pvp. You said you like the armegeddon armor. So look up which temples have each piece of rabid gear. Then get rabid or dire trinkets, either with karma or from the TP. You can also get rabid armor off the TP for REALLY cheap. Just search “Galrath”. For weapons you want dual swords and a LB. now as for PVE, either buy berserker gear off the TP, or buy rare berserker gear and run CoF p1 every day until you get a full set of gear. Then either craft ruby trinkets, buy ascended, or buy ruby ones off the TP.
