What are the common stat mixes I'll need?
Personally I use PTV, over all this mix does it all if combined with some berserker pieces. The build let’s me take a lot of damage while dealing a lot of damage right back at my enemies. My build is 20/0/20/30/0 and run around with runes of the soldier, as I roll a healing shout build.
Zerker gear is alright if you can keep up with the dodging but over all you will do better by combining knights and valkyrie pieces with zerker weapons.
Armor = Berserker or Knight. No need for any other UNLESS you are going Vs. Player.
When you hit higher fractals, you can still go full Berserker and trait some into defense.
I personally just like to have Full Knight Armor w/ ruby Full Berserker ascended trinkets.
