Was wanting to play a mesmer or necro and was wondering which has a smaller learning curve

Necro.

Just need to learn the weapon skills as Death Shroud can be relegated to purely defence.

A lot less complicated that figuring out various shatters and clone/phantasm generating skills.

Cool thanks. I wanted to play a necro more even though I hear they are weaker and buggy. I also had heard about death shroud being like that so that’s for the info. Would you say a pure power build to level or condition?

Mesmers are probably the most broken class in game and feature a steep learning curve, can’t say too much about Necro’s but you should just play and have fun worry about builds later when you get high level!

Mesmers are one of the two professions with the steepest learning curves (the other being thief, but IMO mesmer is steeper). A necromancer is easy to learn well enough, but it is easy to fall into bad habits.

I am not sure what they mean by necromancers being weaker. In large events they have trouble ramping damage due to condition stack limits, but, really, large events are about staying alive more than doing massive damage. Mesmers are super-useful for some dungeons for their ability to teleport the team and an unparalelled ability to distract foes. The main problem I had with necromancers is I cannot figure out how they fight as effectively as other professions underwater (I guess I am too dependent on wells). So of course I took the sea invasion of Orr quest line on my necromancer.

Necro would probably be easier for PvE. Has a lower skill floor (easier to use well) but higher skill cap (harder to use amazingly) than a memser. I say this because I have played a bit of mesmer and first starting out I was horrible. Once I learned the class it was very easy to beat my opponents (PvP) and never die. However, even the devs have said that necro’s skills cap is very high and that they do not believe anyone has unlocked the full potential.

Indeed. You start out “OMGBBQSAUCE this thing is weak as crap!” to “Muhahaha! You’ll never ever kill me!” when you’ve figured out everything that can be abused.
