Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Would like to ask which is the better class for long term. The Mesmer or Necro?

I already have a ranger, which I main currently.

And a Guardian and Engineer which I leveled up then left alone.

Just came back and got HoT and got a lvl80 boost. Which class should I play?

Looking for a Scholar class that would be fun pve-ing across the world and with good end game potential and is different from my ranger.

Thanks and Regards,
Joel

To be honest, the nerf and buff bat has been swinging so freely this year, I wouldn’t worry about end game potential. If epidemic is nerfed, reaper becomes useless. If alacrity is nerfed, mesmer is useless.

Damage and survivability, Necromancer wins out, but if you are a casual player, you probably won’t notice much difference between any of the professions. Choose which ever appeals to you more

Mesmer will always be welcome everywhere (thanks to their good support abilities)… Necromancers… well… let’s say that they are more situationnal but easier to play.

You should take necro, because health’ stealing makes happier

Try to play mesmer and necro.
I tried to play mesmer and this class bored me in few months.

I have a Mesmer and Necro. In my honest opinion, I don’t think you should choose a class because it’s considered the “best”, you should choose the class that YOU want to play. If you want to play a Mesmer, play a Mesmer. If you want to play a Necro, play a Necro.

Don’t let the meta decide your class for you. You’ll enjoy things more if you just play the class you want to play.

Follow this rule of thumb. Only 16 year olds that have plenty of time on their hands care about the meta. Just be an average Joe like 90% of the playerbase and play what you want to play. kitten the meta.
