Just wanted to know what your personal opinion was on terrormancers versus power necromancers in PvP/WvW.

I have been running power in PvP for a month now with an occasional condi switch-over, and I can’t nail which one is more effective for the team. Power has been highly effective at gaining yoloQ ranks so far. More over whenever I duel a condi necro while using a power build, it’s a pretty good matchup.

I haven’t been on the forums much so I’m not sure if there are certain stigmas attached to either build

Lich is dead, but imo power necro is still a better choice in spvp and most tpvp matches.

Less pigeonholed into specific utilities so you can have good mobility with flesh wurm/spectral walk, and you won’t be completely neutered by zerker stance warriors, diamond skin eles, automated response engis, etc.

Corrupt boon + Dark Path is godlike vs. most classes.

Warrior matchup is still difficult, but made much easier if you have blinds.

Foot in the grave now works with stomping (without exploit), making it an even more viable option.

The only sad thing is that necro has no defense against the new pew pew rangers that have been flooding the pvp rooms lately. But every other class has a counter to them so we probably won’t see too many in high level pvp.

EDIT: The dagger auto-attack AoE changes are great, as well as the small buff to my warhorn. But can anyone comment on the Axe changes? I’ve never been a fan of it, even tho it’s supposed to be great for power necro.
