I have come though to the realization that Guardians can get 1 important stat higher than us....their mitiagation. Avdionance and HPs are anyone's guess between the 2 classes as most the time those 2 are more gear dependant. They have anchor at lvl 48ish that gives them roughly 140 to mitigation which as of right now we just can not compete against.

Anchor does not increase the mitigation of the Guardian.

It's a LONG range attack-speed debuff which increases the mitigation of the MOB, not the Guardian. It's a nice tool that they have for single-target pulling on some encounters, but it's not some uber buff that Berserkers cannot compete with.

And if you are a raid MT, you'll find that HP and Avoidance are much more dependent on buffs from yourself and your group than gear (strip naked in a raid and you'll lose <10% of your hps and still show over 100% avoidance), whereas being in fulginate, or ebon, or full fabled gear will show the difference between sitting at 70% to 90% mitigation (i.e. a big difference if you're being hit).
