Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

I played GW2 back right after it was released but just didn’t stick with it. After searching around for a game that is more “casual friendly,” I’m come to understand just how much GW2 really has to offer and how much Anet got right when creating this MMO. So many things that other games may force you pay for are just part of the deal here. Kinda impressive.

Anyways, I’ve been testing out a Necro (power/minion) build in PvP and something similar for the level 80 trial and it’s been a ton of fun so far! As I tend to solo most of the time, I’m concerned as how viable this class will be in WvW and holding my own in PvE as well.

For someone who is most a solo player, tends to focus more on PvP(ish) sides of MMOs, would the Necro be a good option to stick with? I had also considered a power Ranger but I they look somewhat limited in the play style.

Anyways, thanks for the help!

Yes, it’s a good pve class it’s been one of the more popular classes in PvP too but that changes so often that I would not choose any class based on that

Well, I’ve been playing the Necro for the last few hours and freaking love it! After reading over all the build options, it’s kinda exciting to blend in raw power with those conditions. Guess this is where I’ll be staying.

The Necromancer is powerful once you understand how it really works. Knowing when to use shroud can really tip the scenario of your situation to the better. Regular shroud is a ranged aspect, but once you get into Heart of Thorns and the Reaper spec, you’ll be a more impressive up-close monster as your shroud becomes “reaper’s shroud” and you get the shouts unlocked.

Necromancer has a lot to bring to the table, but it’s both “what” and “how” you bring to the table that makes them stand out.

Also, experiment with other classes. You don’t know what you’ll like if you don’t try.

Ranger is not limited actually; if you min/max hardcore meta ALL classes are limited.

Necro is a good choice; but I agree, try others too; 80 trial is nice; but you get specific weapons, so it’s not quite as useful unless u bring weaps too. And really, won’t get a good sense until play a class. Why I still love leveling, you really get a feel for a class even early on. I changed from my initial main class to others drastically. Like, I disliked ele for a while, then decided get it to 80 finally during holiday event Oct, and got elite and whoa – loved tempest. Learned it more, and my fav class. I was Guardian then Ranger first. So, I find all profession are varied – heck I haven’t even gotten into necro really I’m sure I could like it best at end lol. Never know till try.
