Guild Wars 2

With the types of spells they get to use, how interactive it may be, if they are boring and you just don’t want to level another character etc…

I find my necro quite fun. Some people don’t. Try leveling a couple classes to 10 and see what you enjoy.

I prefer my necro over my guardian (my only level 80s at the moment) in part because I find the necro mechanics much more reactive; you have to watch the fight to see what skills to use. However, some builds probably don’t play like this as much as others.

I don’t like this game’s necromancer class, but I love its warlock class.

AKA my necromancer is built around condition damage and Epidemic shenanigans. It’s honestly about the only way I actually enjoy the class, but I do enjoy it.

It’s pretty fun (6-7/10), although the way skills chain together and the over the top cool downs and casting can hamper it. It doesn’t help that running into a class like a hammer warrior will make you start balding in your teens.

Though that’s what my other characters are for. I find that some days I can actually run amok on my necro while on others I just roll my guardian.

9/10 on a good day, 6/10 when I’m not playing as well as I should.

In PvE/dungeons, I run with a wells/siphoning build. Combined with soldier stats, I can sit in almost any melee fight and not have to worry about a thing. The sheer amount of blinds I can put on foes makes me laugh my head off if things were going south just before.

In sPvP, my tactics change. I run a minion master build similar to the one that some of the tPvP players have shown us on other threads in recent weeks. I have a hilarious time in hotjoin because of how fun it can be. I’m able to hold my own in a 1v1, sometimes a 1v2, and I can assist teammates very well if they’re struggling to hold onto a capture point.

Flesh golem charge from off-screen, anyone?

10/10 for fun. I have an absolute blast playing Necromancer.

Also like Keyce said, if you are ever having a bad day, equip Flesh Golem and go do hotjoins. The Charge is priceless.

The Charge is priceless.

It’s like you’re making the other team eat dirt before they eat dirt.

I like playing a necro. My favorite class to play is engineer, but I got frustrated due to continual nerfs to one of the weakest classes in the game. Guardian is also a lot of fun to play, for me.

It is my main based on the concept of what it should have been. The fun comes from the moments you outperform without the bells and whistles.

As far as fun factor goes…necro has all other classes beat by a million times in my opinion anyway. No other class has offered me anything close to the fun playstyle, animations, and general feel of necro. And I’ve played them all, quite extensively actually, so I have a pretty good basis for my claim. This is the reason I’m so passionate about changes needed for necros, and things that are working well that everyone says aren’t. I live and breathe necro (probably not good for my health, but I don’t care lolz) nothing will ever change that.
