Because for cof farm all people want are mesmers/warriors are some other POWER based glass cannon. This is to maximize damage output from a party composition and therefore achieve lowest time completion.

Personally, I think it’s kind of silly to kick you for being a necro, but that’s most likely the reason. People are expecting a certain team composition, and a necro doesn’t in that comp. Sorry, but you’ll either have to persevere or roll another profession (if you want to partake in the cof farming).

That’s because every single thing a necromancer can do, another class can do better and bring something else :
-bleeding ? Why bother with that when you can simply DPS
-poison ? Rarely needed and a thief can apply it and it lasts longer
-blind ? See thief
-fear ? other professions have longer lasting fear
-tank ? not the best choice
-wells ? What’s the point of them ? The recharge is horrible

My main character is a Necro, I did nearly every path with her and we do really fine. But it’s not the best choice. And PuGs like to have the best possible choice, especially when farming.

I know how you feel, I’m an engineer. People are making it a bandwagon of having 3 or 4 warriors and 1 or 2 mesmers so they could finish a dungeon in 8 minutes or less and being a casual gamer, I don’t see a point of choosing classes to party with when you can finish the same dungeon w/ mixed classes in 10~12 minutes. Is that 2~4 minutes enough to discriminate other classes in dungeon parties?

I’ve personally done CoF 1 in less than 7 minutes with a random group of 2 warriors, 1 thief, 1 guardian and me(engineer) multiple times. Another random group of necro, warrior, guardian, elementalist, and me(engineer) finished CoF 1 in 10 minutes. And I’ll say it’s more fun having mixed classes instead of having a group of pure warriors and mesmers.

Engineers(least played class) and Necros(2nd least played class) usually have a hard time joining Fractals and CoF spam because we are not advertised as much as warriors and mesmers. Everybody is aware that 100 Blades is the real deal and a GS warrior burst can go up to 35k + give constant stacks of vulnerability. They need mesmers for portal + Time Warp. But what do they know about engineers and necros? I for one, can burst up to 25k~30k in like 4s and give a constant 5~15 stacks of vulnerability while also stacking bleed and confusion but nobody knows.

This. People don’t have an understanding of all the profession… just hurr durr 100 blades haz big numberz. No necro may not be as good as a warrior for burst but it’s certainly good enough for speed runs. They don’t seem to realise a necro can help boost everyone else’s dps (if they are to inflict vulnerability.) I’ve been refused spots in CoF and CoE. I never ran into a problem in TA, but I have noticed the LF warrior/guardian is becoming much more prevalent. It’s stupid and it’s boring.
