All classes have ranged offense. Warrior can use longbow + rifle, thief can use shortbow + pistol.
Guardian does not feel like paragon at all. Mainly because you can solo with it. While a lot of skills have some utility functions for if you are playing with others, they can also work just fine if you're alone. GW1 paragons require both a group and a spammable short-recharge shout/chant for energy management. (Remembers trying and failing to do norn tournament on the paragon... -_-)
For that matter GW1 paragons are pretty much a spam all chants/shouts on recharge kind of play style. Guardians are less so, since you need to aim your AoE damage skills, and you want to save your protection skills for when you need it. I find that I generally don't use the F1-F3 skills that give the group buff, since I'm selfish that way. =P
Honestly, it plays a bit more like a smiter monk with paragon/warrior armor bonus.
