Guild Wars 2

I have both at level 50, but I’m not sure… what do you guys think?

Whatever is fun for you. :P

If you love both, why not play both?

There can only be one.

I started out as a Necromancer and really quickly started to love Engineer more. Then, as I got higher in level, I started disliking Engineer because of the kits. I just didn’t like the way kits worked, so I went back to Necromancer.

I’m an engineer, so I’m curious … why do you not like kits?

Engineers are awesome, my first to 80. I haven’t played a necromancer so can’t comment on them.

Engineer! So much fun

As an engineer, I can think of several answers.

Some kits, like the flamethrower and tool kit are extremely situational and weak.

Some kits, are clunky and hard to use, like the bomb and grenade kit.

Furthermore… kits make you lose stats when you equip them, and don’t count towards any form of sigils so… kits are crap.

As it stands, engineers, due to kits use toolbelt skills without kits, otherwise they lose out. And are the only class who cannot use weapon swap sigils in any scenario ever so…

Kits are as it stands, not worthy of being a weapon swapping mechanic since they are not weapons.

However, despite these issues, I’d say the engineer. I feel they are much more varied than the necromancer, which I feel is a lot more boring. Not too many weapon choices, and death shroud as a mechanic isn’t too exciting.

Unless you really, REALLY like the necro, I mean it’s just plain fun and amazing for you, go engie. The necro has too many bugs and build restrictions atm to be worth it unless you are just that into the class.

Necro and engi both have an abundance of bugs. However, they are both still very good and solid classes. Learn to play them well now, and when the bugs get fixed, you will feel like a demi-god.
