Guild Wars 2

What Guardian is better for General PVE/Dungeons Berserk or Sinister ?
What are the Pro’s and Con’s ?

In group situation, Bezerker is better against single target while Sinister have a better dps against group of mobs.

In solo situation, both are equal against single target (slight advantage for Bezerker), while Sinister is better against group of mobs.

The disadvantage of Sinister Guardian in PvE is that it need all 3 utilities to reach their normal DPS compare to only 1 for the Bezerker Guardian. So it leave you harder choice when your party need support. Taking a Wall of Reflection or Retreat will drop your dps a lot more on a Sinister than a Bezerker Guardian.

Bezerker is view as the better option in dungeon because, bosses (single target) are usually more important to kill fast than trash and Guardian usually bring support skill for the group.

Berserker is better. Condi has a burst at the start around the same as hammer which makes it bad for short single target fights and it’s not that great for longer fights. For trash it has a high ramp up time so it’s worse for quick trash fights. The only place it would excel over berserker is if 3+ trash mobs will last 10+ seconds or maybe if stuff is weak to condi in future content.
