Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played necro myself but would like to (i’ve only ever played ranger but that class is well into the grave) so i’m just testing the others out.

What builds do you run? Which are the most effective in WvW? Do you think any particular builds are OP after the update?

I don’t think the necro is even close to being OP. I also have a level 80 Thief, Warrior, and Engineer.

When pigs will gonna fly, then yes, necro will be Op.

Sorry but then I have to post this^^ (I only have a low lvl necro so don’t take me too serious :P)

Not sure yet, seems like we might be. I changed my spec and can definately get a good amount more damage out utilizing the patch changes.

It really depends on how underpowered you considered we were. I thought we were ok before so I feel a bit OP.

Let me know when a necro can win or escape a fight from 2+ competent players, then I might consider them OP.

IMO, you really can’t be considered OP in WvW without escapability and mobility. The classes that can kill 1vN AND escape from really bad situations are the classes that need to be looked at.

If they consistently die to a Mesmer, they will simply say, “Oh Mesmers are a good class.” When a Necro kills them, now it’s all, “ERMAIGAWD, OP CLASS. NERF.”

Necromancer is not OP, but we are very good at the moment. People are not used to being dominated by Necromancers even if it is in 1v1 situations or when they are bad, so they blame the buffs as Necromancers being OP. The truth is, we have been so average (or even below average according to some) for so long, that people are simply unwilling to see us adept.

I’m often the only survivor from a zerg onslaught with plague form. Used completely defensively it gets me out of some unbelievable s***storms.

If I want to run away, leaving behind the full set of staff marks, well of corruption and spectral wall is enough to make many people reconsider too.

I can see where you guys are coming from. I doubt you are overpowered simply because if you were all the elite classes like eles, guardians and mesmers would be QQing like mad at Anet calling for all sorts of nerfs just like they did with the Ranger.

Like SnyderHall said i expect some are claiming necro is OP simply because they’re not used to having a tough fight with them, particularly in wvw and pvp.

I imagine this would also happen with the ranger if it ever got buffed. The elites would complain (as they did about pets and they’re almost useless now) and Anet would yield and apologise for making the Ranger a worthy opponent again. I hope this doesn’t happen to necro for your sake. Necros got the buffs they needed so i hope anet doesnt take them away again.

I’m not talking about using plague form to run into a tower or into guards. I’m talking about in the open field where it will only delay the inevitable if you are being overwhelmed with numbers.

Necro always been op… But now with that patch it easier to be good with the necro, like the mesmer was…

Necro is so OP, it has access to an armor, weapons, sigils, runes, weapons, skills & conditions…
