I. Weapons and Skills
Weapon and Skill Details
So the skill setup for my build is the defensive full stance setup rather than a full glass. The weapons your going to be using are obviously Rifle, and GS.Your heal is going to be the traditional healing signet for the passive regen on health (sometimes your gonna have to pull out of a fight to get some health back. So our utility skills are gonna be Berserker Stance (I stand against the condi kingdom no matter what), Balanced Stance for the stability (you could use Dolyak Signet incase you get into a 1vX), Endure Pain (if your bout to go down better go down easy and painless, a course fight till the end as well but you know what I mean XD), and last but CERTAINLY not least Signet of Rage (extra damage is always needed in a fight, don't use that excuse if you use Rampage).

Upgrade Item Details
Since we are full ascended zerker weapons/armor, lets boost our damage even more with the sigils I that I chose.
Rifle:
1) Sigil of Rage: your enemy is actually pretty good and he's dodged a few KS's in this long drawn out fight, but you just got quickness and you noticed he/she can't dodge moves with quickness. You aim at him/her and the bullet flies so fast your enemy is on the ground before he/she can even think of what just happened. You finally one that long fight and its all because of the Sigil of Rage.
2) Sigil of Superior Leeching: You're on a sliver of health left, you see the enemy is really low as well. Then you notice you have the Sigil of Superior Leeching ready to be used, the enemy charges at you but your fine with it cause as soon as he gets close you hit him/her once and he/she is down. You took some heavy damage in that moment but thanks to the Sigil of Superior Leeching you survived.
GS:
1) Sigil of Superior Hydromancy: Again another enemy decides to finish you off but you have your weapon swap ready to explode the power of Sigil of Superior Hydromancy. Just when she/he is about to hit you, you weapon swap and an explosion of ice comes and downs the enemy.
2) Sigil or Superior Air: The enemy is running from you and only your GS skill 4 will reach, but might not do enough damage. You throw it anyways and as soon as you throw it at him/her you realize that the Superior Sigil of Air will end him/her if your sword doesn't. The sword hits gets the enemy on a sliver of health then the Air Sigil blast him/her with thunder knocking her straight to the ground.
V. Basic Gameplay
WHAT PEW PEW DO U NOT UNDERSTAND 
. Jk, you want to start off by engaging the enemy with your Rifle. After using all of your rifle skills, swap to your GS and charge your opponent. Make sure you keep him/her on the move, constantly trying to kite and dodge. If you find yourself being pushed back then GS skill 5 or three away and open on them with your Rifle.
Main Skill Rotation
I don't have a basic rotation for this build you just wanna start the fight using your rifle and then switch often from ranged to melee in the fight, along with using your GS to gain some distance before you try to KS your enemy.
