Guild Wars 2

So I quit because I felt Necros were in a bad place and the dev team had no intention of fixing the class. Since its all i wanted to play, i left. Anything changed or are Rogues and Mezmers still above par and Necros UP?

Warriors UP what?

Anyway, just log back on and see for yourself.

UP = underpowered. I can’t answer that, but I think it’s all relative.

Yeah I know what UP is, I just was puzzled at the idea that warriors are underpowered.

warriors are underpowered? Wow we play a different game I suppose.

but no you can’t.

I see quite a few good necros these days, whereas I used to consider it a “trashy” class. Keep in mind, there’s still plenty of bad ones, so there’s a small stepping stone of “learning” you need before you become good again.

But the class IS viable / not trash anymore (maybe never was, people just had to learn) so I recommend coming back.

Guess Ill have to wait for more responses, too many people focusing on my Warrior comment. Im sry but please, this is about Necros.

You won’t get any good response here, only warriors crying massively about other classes , they zerging the forums against thieves/mesmers actually. Maybe in necro forum you’ll find better advise. In my opinion necros are balanced, and you have some viable builds to play whit.

No. You’re not allowed. :P

Well it’s kinda an odd time to come back since you’ll pretty much be missing out on F&F, unless you hurry up and get all your achievements and run MF a few times. As for Necros I never really had any problems with them, so I can’t really say if they’re better or not.

Warriors are kind of weak in pvp, but strong in pve. But I guess you could consider pvp and pve different games.

Warriors are so not UP LOL that is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.

Anyway If you’re a necro prolly not, if in fact they did to necros what they’ve been doing to engineers this whole time which is breaking them in PVE even more then they ever did in beta. Sigh.

It’s really not pretty honestly and at this rate they’ll prolly take another four months to fix what they broke, but on the up side they did finally start separating the coded behaviors between pve pvp and wvw in their class balance patches so we’re all holding our breath.

I believe Warriors are considered weak in sPvP. In WvW on the other hand, I see a completely different story. Drop a couple of Hammer Warriors into an organized group and expect some pain. They are, IMO, the most powerful class in WvW right now from a small group to small zerg (guild) right now. Just people alot don’t play them alot. Its what I have picked up to main right now and Im completely blown away at how good they are. From a small group to a full on zerg a hammer warrior can completely decimate and run through your frontline and drop your backline better than a guardian can.

It was never a trashy class. Just alot of bad players played them, as alot still do. At least thats what I have seen in WvW. sPvP is a completely different kettle of fish from WvW despite both being PvP.

Iv recently rolled a necro. Alot of fun in pve and pvp.

I found it quite balanced, minion master style stuff is now viable for pve (altho minion AI is still abit out of whack), i run a full condi build currently for pve and wvw and iv been getting on with that pretty well. Not experiemented too much to be honest but iv liked what iv played so far.

I would say that although i only tested necros before now, iv learnt a hell of alot about game mechanics since. The days of struggling to solo stuff as ANY class are behind me, and i think that makes up for alot of the shortcomings in each class. Its like thinking your swiss army knife doesnt have a magnet, then realising that one of the other tools in the kit is slightly magnetic anyway.

Just remember, the best thing about this game is you can give it a days go and if you still think necro is trash, log off and wait another few months. Its only HD space your spending after all

why not? :P

Necros can be quite good, but they’re not necessarily considered good by most. They probably have less viable builds than some other professions, but condition builds are quite good and well builds are quite good, particularly in dungeons. In the open world minion builds work quite well.

In PvP necros are quite effective. In WvW they have their uses as well.

I’ve played with (and against) some pretty devastating necros. But I do think there’s a relatively high skill ceiling…meaning that if you’re not good at the profession, the profession won’t be good for you.
