Guild Wars 2

I have 2 sets:
Knight Set with Dolyak Runes
Berserker Set with Ruby Orbs

The Knight Set is pretty tanky but doesn’t quite have as much punch as the Berserker Set. The Berserker Set does a ton of damage but is also kind of squishy.

Here’s what I was wondering:

• Should I transfer the Dolyak Runes onto my Berserker Set?
• Should I use 3 pieces Knight Set and 3 pieces Berserker Set and use Dolyak Runes?
• Should I use 3 pieces Knight Set and 3 pieces Berserker Set and use Ruby Orbs?

I also have:

• Berserker GS (Superior Sigil of Earth)
• Berserker Rifle (Superior Sigil of Ice)
• Valkyrie GS (Ruby Orb)
• Valkyrie Hammer (Ruby Orb)

I have 10 Transmutation Stones and am wondering what’s the best possible combination I can make with these gear? I am looking to dish out as much damage as possible without sacrificing too much tankiness.

I think it really depends on if you want more damage or survivability. My recommendation, decide which of the two you want and go from there. I have some ideas based on which you choose.

If you’re mixing zerker with knights, use knights for the items lower on the list and zerker for the higher ones. That way you’re getting the maximum amount of toughness while losing the least amount of crit dmg.

5 stat points – upgrade slot of trinkets and backpack
10 stat points- traits (not an equipment, but listed for comparison)
12 stat points – glove, shoulder and boots
12.8 stat points – 1H weapons and amulet
13.33 stat points – Earring
14 stat points – Backpack (rare version from guild armorsmith)
14.22 stat points – 2H weapons
14.4 stat points – Coat
16 stat points – Ring, helm and legging

Edit I’ve used doly runes with berserker gear and if your looking for damage and tankyness this isnt the way to go. 165 tougness or whatever the runes add is not enough to make any noticeable difference when you have no toughness in your build.

Another way to go would be to use Ruby orbs or Runes of Rage in your Knights set and a mix of berserker or knights trinkets with ruby orbs.

The power difference between knights and zerker is very small and there is no difference in precision. What your missing is crit damage. There are better ways such as using runes, trinkets or orbs that give crit damage combines with knights gear than to use zerker gear.

My current set up I use a knights helm and I think Knights leggings, with Soldier chest, shoulders, gloves, boots with Runes of Rage, Berseker weapon, Knights trinkets with ruby orbs and an ascended soldiers ring and the rare soldiers backpack.

I have another solders set with solder runes I use for a shout build sometimes.
