I have a guardian, warrior, mesmer, ele, ranger, thief. I bring what’s necessary in the party composition. But tbh in PvE guardian is still in a great place, particularly in high level fractals having a hammer guard makes it all that much more enjoyable.
Although it does seem Anet wants to push being a tank down our throats… Seriously get some decent DPS grandmaster traits. There’s a reason none of the meta builds use any.
