Which one is better for PVP - Guardian or Warrior? Both of these two class are suit for PVP, GW2fast.com will help players make a right decision here. Personally I would say a more damage-based warrior will do better at handling a mob, sort of in a kill-or-be-killed type fight. I don't believe a shout-heal type warrior will be able to compare as well to a guardian when it comes to sustainability, though. Although that is in a solo scenario.

In areas like WvW where there can be multiple players on the battlefield at a time,the shout-heals could have a better influence for your team than some of the guardian's bubble-defenses. Depending on the situation and the surroundings the reverse could be true as well unfortunately, so it's hard to say. It's most definitely possible to be highly offensive as a Guardian. Our most offensive weapons are the Greatsword, 1h Sword, and Scepter in that order.

Warriors have the highest tier of health, whereas guardians have the lowest Guild Wars 2 gold. They're less resilient than warriors out of the box, so you must rely on skills (or stat distribution) for survivability.

Warriors appear, in the broadest sense, to be more capable of burst DPS. Guardian DPS builds mostly revolve around condition stacking, particularly burning. These are generalities and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Guardians also have weapon skills clearly tied to party support - symbols, wards, zones, and virtues that benefit nearby allies. Both guardians and warriors have utility skills that do this, of course, but the guardian has far more tied to his weapons.

Flavor-wise, warriors are physical damage kings, and guardians are physical/magic hybrid. Both have access to swords, shields, and greatswords, but guardians use staves, scepters and focii, and warriors use bows, rifles, and axes.

So, Guardian or Warrior which one is better for PVP is mainly decided by players playing style, but their weapons requirement and farming ways are quite different, GW2fast.com has listed the details on the website. It depends on what role you want to play in a team. Guardians will inevitably be forced into a tanking/support role in either competitive PvE or PvP teams (because that's what they do better than any other profession) while warriors will likely be forced into a pure DPS role (because that is what they excel at).
