Guild Wars 2

Hello there, returning player here. I started playing this game a few years ago, before HoT, and leveled an engineer to 80 before leaving the game due to work.

Now I have time to play and decided to come back, but The endgame scene is unclear to me (it always was).

I picked up HoT and made a Necromancer, a class I always wanted to play, but after reading a Bit, it seems its not such a good Profession for raiding, that, or there’s other proffs that just do its job much better.
I also read that Ranger/Druid is fun and meta. Is this True?
And what about the Chronomancer?

Should I swap to one of these classes? (im not saying anything about engineer because im not sure how I feel about its playstyles) or should I continue my road of necromancy?

thanks for the opinions.

Swap? You should learn and gear every class. Otherwis you will be kicked for not being versatile. You don’t ‘choose’ a class. You play what the group needs, and if they don’t need anything, you play a dps suited to the encounter.

Personally I have all of them , but I way prefer : Condi/Power DD , Chrono , Condi ranger and DH. Noticed the condis? You cant choose what you want unless you find people Who dont care about the 11112 condi spam.
It depends on the boss too like KC where power is king.

Going for druid instead of necro at this moment is a good idea as they are in demand. I advice you to expand your roster from there with a chrono next and dps class/warrior afterwards.

Mesmer(always need tank and dps chrono)
Ranger(always need 1-2 healing druids or condi ranger)
Warrior(always need 2 condi ps war)
Elementalist(dps or condi is always in group)
This class is basic for every raid group

Necromancer(only good for Matt and escort)
Guardian(dps or condi is useless)
Thief(condi is very good at trio is good for mortal)
Revenant(only good for Deimos hand kite)
Engineer(condi/dps is useless in raid)
This class is good only for some boss.
