Guild Wars 2

Hello , this is my first mmo that I bought , been playing pirate wow since I can remember and many other games but that’s not the point. I can’t play gw2 at the moment because I’m using a really old laptop and I’m on a trip right now so I need your advice about what class should I play. I really like death knight from wow and I want something similar but i’m undecided about what should i play. Should I go guardian or necromancer ? Any help is appreciated , thanks.

I depends on why you liked death knight, really. If you liked debuffs and dots, then guardian can’t hold a candle to necromancer in terms of that. If you liked the survivability, then both classes are good for that, but guardian probably comes by it more easily. If you want to be melee specifically, then guardian is more geared toward that. And for the necromancer aesthetic, well, I hope that one’s obvious…

Now, in terms of balance, guardian is better off in PVP right now. They’re both good in PVE.

Hello and thanks for the fast answer. I guess I like death knights because of that unholy feel to them and I’m leaning more to the necromancer from the gameplay videos I saw on youtube. Oh well i guess i’ll have to swallow that they are not a melee class with heavy armor.

If you like the spooky look and feel, definitely go necro (guardians are more paladin-like in the way they work). After you hit level 11 and start playing with trait points you’ll see, but although a light armour class will probably never be quite as tough as a heavy armour one, you can pour traits into toughness and make your necro pretty resistant to damage! And they have a variety of weapon sets, if you work with daggers you will end up all but melee range. Try the different weapons out when you get to play a necro, and see what you like.

Also, Guardian has some of the lowest base health while Necromancer has some of the highest, if that matters.

yea thanks guys , my mind is made gonna be necroo :P
