Guild Wars 2

Which race should i choose if i want to make a Necromancer???
And pls tell me which classes look cool on Human and Which on Sylvari pls

Thanks in advance,

I like my Sylvari necro, that’s all I can tell you.

Sylvari

For looks, Sylvari (seriously the starting masks look awesome on them and the light armors fit better with racial clothes).
For the might and glory of Grenth, Dhuum and the Underworld, Human (as in if you care for the lore or want a more traditional experience, also Hounds of Balth allow aoe burning in a condition build, as does charrs charrzookah)!

Roots you, turrets are really weak, plague is in general better, the root is quite useful in wvwvw, but overall sylvari necros are there for aesthetics not racial skills (winners in that are charr=human>norn>asura=sylvai)

It is let you survive 1hit-kill things from some bosses, it is good as long as necro don’t have blocks/evades/invuls

There’s nothing like a tree person swinging a human arm around and spreading disease. I love my sylvari necro.

Make one of each, go to heart of the mists, check out the cultural skins on your character, see what you end up liking most.

Or if you’re into lore, Sylvari, I hear they have the best storyline.

Other than that, its pretty much just looks/racialsthatnobodyeveruses.

They have the best personal story quests/best references (well norn got 80s movies and charr got a lot of war puns, if that counts for anything), but overall polish of the in game lore is still very much human, mostly because of GW1.
Also making a sylvari will make saladbolg and his guardian/ele/thief/warrior/necro master of monotone slightly less of a kitten character (not sure what choices on creation you have to make trough) since he is actually smart and kinda well acted in the personal story.
AND HEY i love to use my Grenth for cases where you have to melee kite cough clockheart and the crits/lich form aint such a good idea sodding camera and bigger hitbox for cogs n lighting And as you actually made me test hounds a good idea (not as good as charrzookah) for condi builds. Lyssa was useful for leveling. (But i still dont have kormir unlocked since i just so bloody hate her and the skill is so very useless on a necro).

I used to think Human was terrible for Necromancer but boon duration runes and Death Magic traiting makes the Prayer to Lyssa pretty sweet for a profession with limited boon access and its CD is funny-short.

Good for leveling, very strong in 1v1s, kinda got weaker now over time with pve shift of boon strength and fixing it not to sometimes give 2+ boons.

Sylvari master race
