Guild Wars 2

Hey I have sorted through the professions to decide I want to play one of these as my main character. I have always liked the playstyle of the ele, it being my first character i chose to make however im having trouble surviving even building with toughness. I do enjoy necro also and finding it a lot easier to survive but i do enjoy the damage output by the ele compared to necro. Anyway, what I guess im looking for is a bit of advice/help or even your own personal experiences to maybe persuade me either direction. thank you

Well I think you summoned the difference up very well. Ele’s are more squishy then necro’s but they deal more damage. There isn’t really much to add to it.

Whjat I do like bout the ele however is that it gives you more room to make your own style. Meaning that you can concentrate on pure damage, but also using stuns (cripples, kd, daze) to slow the enemy down, to parety support. A good ele can switch those roles in an instance making them very versatile and fun (but more difficult to master).

That is a benefit the necro doesn’t really have too much, just that point there is starting to lead me in the direction of the ele because I am looking for a bit of versatility, and adds to the fun. An ele’s suvivability has a lot to do with learning the class as well so maybe as i play more ill become better at staying alive
thanks for the reply
