Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I’m kinda new to the game, I have played a warrior up to level 30 when the game released, and had to stop later for personal life reasons. But now, I’m ready to start my adventures on Guild Wars 2. And I decided to be a Necromancer…

..Because I love the caster classes, I love the lore behind the necromancers and most importantly I love dot classes — condition damage — in this game.

I’m reading everywhere that Necromancers are underpowered, despite that, I want to play this class. This is an MMO and the class balances are always subject to change, so please don’t tell me “Don’t play Necromancer, play this instead …”.

Okay back to topic, can you guys please give me a general insight over the builds, leveling, pvp. Please share me the things, tips and tricks you found effective playing the Necromancer class.

Also please let me know what do you like most on this class?

Thanks,
Rainysun

PS. Please forgive my english, it’s not my native language.

As with any class, check out the builds sticky.

Every class forum says their class is under powered and buggy.

I should also point out that just because you can focus on condition damage, doesn’t mean you should. Maybe half the people are condition and half aren’t. (No way to really know.)

The first two things that made me love the necro are:
1) the staff is awesome and unless you really have an advanced, tweaked out build should always be one of your swaps
2) the axe is actually ranged rather than melee, so you can kite in circles throwing axes just like a ranger…you’ll probably use the scepter though, if you’re going all in conditions

Condtionmancer is one of my favorite builds
still hopeful necros get more love in the november patch just not all ranger
