Another one of these. So I’m just kind of stuck, and need a little bit of info on some classes.

So I’ve narrowed it down to necromancer, ranger, and thief. I don’t really like any of the classes (well I like the warrior, but it was hard enough to get past it being the noob class and the most played, but now that is all overpowered and such, just eh. :/).

The thief I know is, well, a thief. They kinda soorta died down though, I want to know if thieves are actually viable in zergs somehow in wvw, because I like to be in zergs and roam around.

Then the ranger, which honestly is the weakest choice of the three, considering all the problems with them and everything, but I still love rangers. Always have.

And the necromancer, now I played the necromancer before but I gave it no chance at all and don’t remember much about it, but I know that it can be pretty good in a zerg, and decent in roaming. But exactly how good are they? And do they require different builds for doing both?

I guess I just want to know each profession’s WvW capabilities, and maybe some of their PvE, since I do like doing the living world.

Sorry if I haven’t given enough information, just let me know and I’ll try to explain more. ^^ Thanks for the help

If you want to roam in zergs – Go Necro, high survivability and lots of AoE.

Thieves are still not awesome in zergs due to low health and AoE nuking their ‘thing’, stealth.

Rangers are… Rangers, only play them if you love them in WvW.

What about solo roaming with necromancers? Are they decent at that?

They are if you know what you’re doing. I wouldn’t recommend it so much for wvw (solo) even tho it’s possible but with the 100 zergs out there might be not one of the smartest decisions lol. For pve Necro’s are excellent when it comes to solo roaming or soloing most content, you can solo champs with it as well IF you know what you’re doing. Some people complain that Necro’s are slow but to be honest I run faster with my Necro over the maps and finish content than I would with my Guardian, Warrior, Ele or Mesmer. Your build defiantly matters, while a lot of people say that the “zerk” build is the only build for pve I highly disagree with that when it comes to the necromancer. Sure Glass Cannon Build is attractive and you kill mobs faster than I do probably but you have no chance of surviving when running through more crowded areas (example orr)

Interesting. I guess I’ll have to give the necro another shot. :P Store my warrior until it all blows over. Thanks for the help.
