Guild Wars 2

well, if you hate hammer, thats really going to put a damper on your pvp capabilities as a warrior. i had the same problem at first, and ended up going with the warrior after many pvp matches with both. the warrior with a hammer/rifle combo is sick for 1v1 and team fights due to the cc from hammer being aoe. when i faced a guardian 1 on 1, 9 times out of 10 i would win with that weapon setup. there attacks are very easy to dodge because they swing that 3rd strike really slow depending on which weapon they have as well so dodging them was easy. anytime they did something which gave them retaliation i would chain 5 on hammer with E (default f1) stuns and it would be over by then with minimal dmg to myself done, and after all my hammer skills would go on cd, i would pop rifle out, 5 skill to push them back followed by 2 for snare, 4 for vulnerability debuff and 3 for the dps. by then there retaliation was up again and i would just switch back to hammer and leap in with f1 for a stun and repeat.

im sure guardians can find a spec that might counter that, prolly using a shield, but so far, most guardians i come across use sceptor with a torch and a greatsword and that combo works extremely well.

unless your just hellbent on not using hammer and only going gs, i would highly recommend a warrior.

plus, jugernaut or w/e that elite is called it pretty sweet too. 20 some seconds of stability with massive dmg and gap closers/range all on 1 skill bar.
