Hmm, 1v1, you picked the wrong class and wrong portion of the game to 1v1 in WvWvW. You can 1v1 in tPvP and sPvP. Solo in wvwvw is rough, however if you are going to do it, than you will dagger or axe/wh for the speed, spectral walk, and probably a power build.

Most of the time in wvwvw you will find that it’s 1 vs 4 or 5v5

I wonder if this is a joke but I feel obligated to answer.

Necro appears to be a “support” class which means they can’t run or chase or kill anything. I’ve done great duoing with a ranger in wvw but not solo with any build. You can always gank other necros though. Rant over.

Unfortunately probably the best all around 1v1 builds for necro are bunker or minion master. They are also the slowest necros because there are no free slots for speed skills.

If you’re desperate to try I would go with either a d/d-d/f chill necro or what I use in wvw which is staff/scepter, condition damage and fear. Mine is 0/30/20/0/20. People have named these funny things and there are some builds and gear to start with posted in these and other forums. Chillmancer and Conditionmancer maybe?

I just wish to say thank you for your help. I used to play a Shadowknight in Everquest and a Deathknight in World of Warcraft, I was disappointed to find out that Shadowknights/Deathknights wouldn’t be available in Guild Wars 2 so I tried out the Necromancer.

I’ve tried mostly all of the classes except engineer and I’m having fun leveling my Necromancer. I just love classes that involve black magic/dark arts or whatever you call it now :p

There is an all-necro guild you can join where you can ask questions while playing.

Necro is not a roaming class because they cannot disengage a fight. In wvw you are often caught by a 3 thieves kill squad. As a necro you cannot survive. So stick with your zerg.

Like others say, we just aren’t a roaming class. It isn’t an issue of survivability in a 1v1, as much as its an issue of if something goes wrong, you die (mesmer stealth + portal, thief steal + blinks, ele blink + semi blink). If you enjoy playing 1v1, then become a node-defender and play tPvP. I bunker for my teams, and almost all your fights are 2 people or less for each side (1v1, 2v1, 2v2).

Norn Necros can roam just fine.

Nice video and shows how you run staff, scepter, DS. This is similar to what I do. It’s also why a lot of people quit necro I think lol. Brawling with target AOE and cycling through weapons and DS constantly? But it works with enough practice.

I am obligated to add the standard disclaimer. It goes down differently against equally geared and skilled people which is why I test in spvp and wound up with more fear and Terror.

This is my favorite Wvw Necro of all time. As I use the same build. It’s awesome.

“Necro appears to be a “support” class which means they can’t run or chase or kill anything. "
“can’t kill anything?” Oo
… you can build support yes, so does the engineer and the guardian and the ele and… well almost every class… does that mean a guard can’t kill? an engi can’t kill? i’d like to know where you saw that “support classes” can’t kill, besides, you don’t HAVE to play support, it’s alld epending on your build! where did you see necros couldn’t kill people? because it’s not from the devs! we can also chase, i mean we have large access to cripple and chill, just thieves and eles can escape an engaged fight the rest is just pretty easy to catch.
