I have been trying to choose a character to play on. Been doing a lot of creating and deleting :P , And i have narrowed it down to two choices, a guardian or a thief. I am not sure which one to choose though. I plan on doing mostly PvE and WvW. Which one do you guys suggest? The thing is i do tend to kind of rush into battles, and am not very good at maintaining distances, so that is why i was thinking guardian or thief over elementalists or rangers.

guardian will rushing vs mobs in pve
No class will survive rushing in WvWvW alone . i got both of them , when i go with the zerg the deaths count is minimal on any of them. In term of efficiency guardian is supperior in groups , Pve or WvW. Guardian is supperior at solo Pve also , and thief at solo in WvW. consider elementarist also if you like an more interactive game play , it has great survaivability and escape skills , and mesmer for WvW (blink +3 stelath skills )

I don’t have much experience with the thief, but the guardian has a lot of skills and abilities conducive to group work. Seeing as this is a social game and most of what you will be doing, especially at higher levels is group oriented, i would advise digging into the guardian for a while. Their ranged capabilities are somewhat limited compared to the thief, but when it comes to support and survivability it just seems to have the upper hand. Just have to get used to the idea that you’re not going to be spamming heart seeker ftw XD

Guardian is better for PvE rushing. However, if you like ranged options, the Guardian is pretty lackluster. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that Guardians are pretty good at being supportive while still focusing on offense, while the Thief skills don’t allow for that as much…
