Guild Wars 2

I’m looking at making my first Sylvari character after getting Thief, Mes, Engi, and Ele all to 80 to gear out for Fractals/Dungeons. And I really can’t decide on the next class to make. Ranger is just boring to me, Warrior too simple, Guardian too tanky, and then there’s Necro (which I hear is horrible for the PvE environment).

I’m very much into mobility and offensive utility (blinds, chill, immob, etc.) ankitten ot sure if I’ll find the Necro useful in those regards for PvE. Note: I mostly do casual runs with pick up groups and don’t really care for trying to maximize DPS all that much.

Are there ways to build a Necro that would work in PvE that way? And if so, do you recommend Necro for what I want to do or one of the other three classes I haven’t made yet?

Necro is awful in group PvE. Its not even a matter of maximizing DPS, its just a matter of everything you bring is either not that great, can be done better by someone else, or someone else can do just as well while doing a bunch of other things you can’t.

If you want to play one for fun no one is stopping you, but I find its just handicapping myself for no reason. There are other professions you can play that are much more capable of “carrying” a bad team, whereas Necro really relies on being carried.
