What is a good all around PvE setup that I could use for vMSA, trials, and dungeons without having to change much?

well, hard to give one in one answer, 'cause you're aiming at 3 things that are completly different:

- dungeons: short fights (no resources management is needed at all)
- trials: short + long boss fights (resources management can be/is needed at some time)
- vMSA: high dps, survivability and management (resources management is needed very much + self heal)


luckely NB have some good skills on their bars fort it. So here I go with my standard setup:

bar 1: force pulse*/merciless/funnel health/impale/IL /U=Soul harvest
bar 2: syphoning**/twisting path/crippling grasp/elemental blockade/IL/U= Shooting star


* swap with funnel health if resources management is hard (or if not using scathing mage)
** can be swapped with ranged trap (FG) for boss fights
** flex spot anyway if resources management is ok


As for easy to get gear, grap yourself
- a full divines Julianos set, or TBS even better
- willpower jewelry
- nerenieth or Kena monster set

1. nernieth is great for te proc when playing against groups of enemies (itc i recommend using force pulse, as it has a bigger chance to proc
2. Kena for higher damage against single targets

- as for weapons I recommend 2 fire staffs (one sharpened, one precise)
