Guild Wars 2

Hey guys and gals,

I’m just returning to the game, i had a brief spurt of playing when the game came out but stopped all online gaming due to the military requiring me to serve. (I only got a lvl 20 necro an 18 ranger and a 22 guardian)

Necromancers have been my favourite class across many games such as Guild Wars itself, Diablo etc etc. Since i have come back I’ve noticed a lot of people bashing necros saying how bad they are.

I was just wondering is it worth while leveling my necro to 80 or should i switch to another class?

Please help me!

Kind Regards,
Rory.

I’m just re-installing the game now and want to get my goals set before it finishes haha.

I’m a PVE player, I don’t play for PVP at all. It’s not the strongest class by any means but that doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable. I’ve played the so called gods of the game (Guardian, Warrior etc…) and i found there gameplay quite dull.

I’m currently leveling my Necromancer at the moment and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I’m Condition specced and I would advise you to go the same way, due to the fact that the minions need a lot of work. That isn’t a bad thing though as Condition speccs are very strong I feel. I have no problems at all getting through the game and to be honest I find it very easy. I’m able to pull packs of mobs and kill them off with ease.

There will be many people saying how bad they are etc but try not to listen to them. If you enjoy the class, play it. Find out for yourself, don’t go solely on the opinion of someone who hasn’t played anything but a Guardian, there will be many of them.

Necro is great in my opinion.

Yes, necro is worth it – especially since its your favorite profession. There are some bugs, but necro is still pretty darn strong.

They aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. We can do a lot just maybe not as well as some other classes. Right now the necro, engineer, and ranger are considered the three weaker classes. If you enjoy it play it and hopefully Arena Net will give us some love soon.

Taking consideration of the hopinion of more expert people it’s at the base of evolution…

@Rory: I’m a great fan of Necromancer like you, from Diablo, to whatever game or story plot. I had fun discovering the Necromancer and GW2, by the moment it was the first character i leveled up. But the delusion grew up while i was discovering it was bad designed (in both mechanics, traits and look) and really different from the Necro in GW1.
In my hopinion, it still needs really a lot of work, some people estimate it will take almost 5-6 months for Anet to fix it up (if Anet is meant to do it).
I don’t dislike Necromancer as it is now, but i’m dissatisfied enough, its characterization doesn’t fill the right identity.
As i often say, GW2 hasn’t been released for Necromancers.

I don’t want to discourage you from playing or trying it, just consider the Pro and Con before choosing how to spend your time. In this situation matters the quality.

Good Luck and Have Fun.
