Hey guys, I just came back after almost a year.
As title says, I’m looking for something to grind some pve and do wvw.
I guess I’ll skip ele/engi due to nerfs, necro and ranger are still quite meh when it comes to pve so would you say, it’s better to go guardian or warrior?
Cheers

PvE:

If it is still your first character, disregard this part. If you want to just grind exp, then go to edge of the mists. I can’t really help you anymore than that because thats what i do. Honestly, with edge of the mists, you can do both and get 80 in about a week (depending how much you play).

WvW:

Now I only have a warrior and is only level 43, but I know that warriors have strong damage and have multiple viable builds in WvW. For guardian, as I said I can’t say anything since I don’t have one. Go to this website: http://metabattle.com/wiki/ and see which one fits you. Guardian only has one really good build which is the meditation dps build. Hope this helped you

Guardians and Warriors are both equally important in WvW. Guardians provide most of the boons and warriors do most of the crowd-control.

An ideal melee party consists of two guardians, two warriors, and one necromancer. The necro only being there to leech stability.

Two guardians are needed for ample stability and protection uptime.
Two warriors are needed for ample fury uptime. Most guilds include the critical chance gained through fury when optimizing their builds.

I play both frontline guardian and warrior and warrior is much easier. Guardian has many more cool downs to manage and is less forgiving if you make a mistake over warrior.

For roaming in WvW, it’s a matter of personal preference. There’s a few different viable roaming builds for both professions. When comparing two common roaming builds, Meditation Guard vs Destroyer Warrior, my honest opinion is that medi-guard has a much higher learning curve over destro-warr.

If you plan to play frontline in WvW, my personal suggestion would be guardian. It is much easier for a party to be short a warrior than to be short a guardian. However, to understand both professions and how they work together you need to be able to play both.

Being a good Guardian is probably harder than being a good Warrior.

I’m thinking about dungeons, where a mistake by the guardian can lead to a team wipe, and a mistake by the warrior to a dps loss…
Aegis, stability, reflection, etc… Guardians have a lot on their plate, lots of stuff to take care of.
