Hey guys… so my friend picked up the game recently and I want to make another character… the three I don’t have so far are engi, necro and ele

I have no interest at all in playing an ele… the gameplay just does not interest me much at all

This leaves me with two choices… engi and necro… I’ve played both to up to 20 and they are both kind of largely unspectacular… I feel like an engineer can have a bit of higher upside but I don’t know, every time I fight a necro in WvW they are a pain in my [insert word here]… this character would be strictly used for WvW with an occasional trip to hang out with the guild (hence why I think engi might be better, more team utility for guild)

but still… probably 90% this character will be used in WvW… what are your thoughts? I like ranged zerker builds in which I can hang out in the back if the zerg and pick people off… who will be more fun for WvW? which of these characters plays better with ranged zerker-ish builds?

THANKS!

My vote would be some sort of necro. So many builds supporting different playstyles.
For instance, Power necro for keep taking and defense as well as open field Zerg battles.
Condition necro for group support, crowd control, and, of course, DOT. Or variations/combinations of these.

Both would be a hoot to play and only should decide/choose.

I would say Necro, they can also be very supportive in Dungeons, I have a guildie and his support necro has the strongest heals I ever saw.

Engis are fun to play, but I don’t rly like them in sPvP/WvW

ive got both a lvl 80 engineer and necro as well as a guardian, and in my experience nothing is more fun then the engi for wvw, it does take some time to get a solid build that you enjoy playing and can be effective with but once you get used to it, its up hill from there, the s/d zerker engi can be really fun, used properly you can get massive crits out of it other then that it has a whole lot of use’s for team orientated stuff
