Guild Wars 2

The above advice is good but if you still can’t get the zerkers going for yourself, don’t be afraid to come back and ask again … you’re not a failure if it doesn’t work for you.

First off, stick with your zerker gear. Learn to adapt to it. If you really must use a crutch to assist, swap it out for knights’ gear (not soldiers’). Obal of DnT has a good guide to building a DPS guardian for PVE stickied in this very forum.

Secondly, see the link in my signature? It’ll direct you to the Dungeon Mentors thread. Be sure to give it a good read.

Thirdly, ideally you should do all the dungeons, as your performance in them is not solely dictated by your own personal skill, but also your knowledge about the encounters within and the strategies used to tackle them. A mentor can help you with this assuming you seek one out.

Lastly, this comes under knowledge of the encounter, and there aren’t any programs that can help you with this. You’ll have to learn it yourself, reflexes are something no one can directly help you with.

Yes.. read Obal’s DPS guard guide.. he has a section on how to stay alive. I watched few of DnTs video and it’s great.. just to watch it visually. I really like Brazil’s videos.. he’s one funny dude.

Anyways it takes time to get used to zerker, you will die a lot because your health pool will be even lower than an ele with the zerker build.. but you do get better over time. You can read about all the dungeon encounters on GW2 Dungeon Guide. This really helped me out with the runs and knowing what to do. It even has fractals section too.

And yes keep doing dungeons. I admit at times I got so frustrated with the times I faceplanted but it does lessen more you keep chugging at it. Don’t give up on the zerker. It’s really worth it. But I do have a secondary set, the knights as a backup since I pug almost all the time. It’s also great in fractals as you can just switch to it so you don’t have to leave for repairs.
