I’m thinking to switch my main from guardian into warrior. I know they have different roles in PvE but I solely would like to know how the damage potential of warriors compared to guardians now.
I think with 4/6/2/0/2 guardians with UC have higher DPS over warriors. What about without UC?
Yes 4/6/2/0/2 guardians with perma UC have more dps than warriors, but that only happen against dummy golem that don’t attack back. You usually want to use 25% of uptime on UC to simulate combat.
The only build that constantly and reliably do more dps than a warrior are Sceptre/Focus build against a large slow enemy like Lupi or Bloomhunger. 6/6/0/0/2 or 4/6/2/0/2 or 6/6/2/0/0 will do around the same damage there.
For a GS + Sw/F build you drop below the dps of a warrior, unless you can keep up UC more than 25%. But you can’t really expect to do that because fight where you can keep UC uptime high are easy fight where you don’t need a guardian.
But anyway, in most situation both profession are relatively close to each other.

If you run organized, active defense is king, go with guardian all day every day.
For pugs, see the explanation below.
Oh sorry I see some mistake here.
‘’if you run organized, active defense is king, but then you are good and in an organized group you can use active defense from all the profession together to do the job of a guardian. So in the end you only need guardian in a couple of specific dungeon.’’
‘’For pugs, there is no explanation and do whatever you prefer because pugs don’t care. Just take the profession you prefer and try to get better with it’’
