New to Guardian and PvP
Honestly, don’t play guardian in PvP. Other classes can fill the same roles the guardian can fill but better.
Don’t listen to the guy above me. Play it if you really want. Play hot-join until you get a hold of the class enough to try tPvP.
There are various builds you can use but the most popular for DPS are meditation builds. Here’s an example:

You could switch out Stand Your Ground for Contemplation of Purity if you want more condition removal. It kind of varies at this point.
As for bunkers, you won’t have as much tankiness as warriors or engineers but you provide good supporting boons and control. This is one of the standard bunker builds:

You can switch out weapons and try different things but the traits, runes, and amulets are generally the same. But yea, google is your friend.

At the time of posting, I was only able to locate pre-feature patch Guardian builds.
Wasn’t sure how drastically the feature patch changed said builds.
Thank you very much for your reply! I’m excited to give this DPS build a go when I get home tonight!
As for the naysayer, I never listen when someone tells me not to play what class I thoroughly enjoy playing. :P

If you are into DPS’ing in sPvP, that’s what I run.
Pros:
-Removes 1 boon when burning foes. (extremely good vs those “might stacking” builds)
-Life steal and meditation heals grants good amount of healing
-decent all-around build
Cons:
-DPS build = is not too tanky
-lacks mobility
-don’t have multiple condi cleanses to 1v1 heavy condi users (vs necros mostly. Engineer+bomb = just stay outta their circles and use scepter. Ranger condi = stay outta their traps. Mesmer… don’t bother 1v1ing. Warrior condi, and most 1v1 against warriors is not a problem.)
