Pretty much everything that can be said has been said. Getting both to 80 won’t hurt you, but it really comes down to your play style. Right now Warriors are in a great spot. They have higher sustain than guardians, better selection for ranged weaponry. Right now the only edge guardians have on a warrior is the protection boon, but with the amount of necros in the game that’s not actually a good thing. Several of us have multiple level 80 guardians. That’s because we enjoy the class.

If you don’t have either though I would strongly suggest you roll a warrior. What they might lack in a very small section of the game (spvp bunker) they make up for in huge versatility. They have viable condition specs (I currently run a sword/sword lb shaman banner regen setup in spvp), they have a variety of good direct damage builds, they have excellent hybrid builds, they can actually bunker better than guardians against certain professions.I’ve been a pretty die hard roaming/assassination guardian for awhile. That said, warrior is just better at guild wars 2 gold. The problem with guardian right now is how stat allocation is handled. If we want to be a tanky damage dealer we need to go with a huge variety of stats. We need toughness, precision, crit damage, power, and vitality (lowest tier hp). Where as condition bunkers need only toughness or vitality, condition damage, healing power.

The three stats required for condition bunkering, and don’t let the “bunkering” fool you it’s actually very capable of killing fast, let’s them itemize far easier. I know that’s a bit off topic, but if you were my friend I would strongly suggest warrior.This post for the most part only pertains to wvw/spvp. In PvE I don’t think it matters too much. I pick whichever one fits what I need at the time. I prefer my guardian, but it’s about 50/50 between warrior.
