Guild Wars 2

I’m thinking of using my level 80 boost to create a necromancer. Im just wondering what they are capable of. I pretty sure they cant do kitten for healing. But im still wondering what they can do. Condi CC? DPS? Tank?

Condition necro is viable for some open world content, especially Triple Trouble, which requires some of our skills to take down certain monsters. I haven’t played condi necro much, but if you are really interested look up Brazil on youtube and he goes into the necessary gear make a good build for condition play. I main a Reaper because of their survivability in the open world. I can face tank some champs solo. I don’t know if it is possible to do with other classes, but it is possible with a Reaper. We do not do the most damage of any class, we are not a healing class for team play, and there are probably other classes that can do condi better than we can, but we are the “jack of all trades, master of none” class. We are extremely versatile, and I think Reaper is the funnest profession out there.

It just depends on what you want from a character, do you want to run a meta toon and clear content as fast as possible? Then necro probably isn’t for you. If you want to have fun with a character that is viable for lots of different things, then you would love Reaper.

Reaper has strong CC inherently built into its shroud and such.

I play a condition hybrid necromancer (viper and sinister stats) and I believe we are considered the Meta in pve, stats wise.

Can pack on tons of conditions and spread them out to enemies, things melt very quickly.

We are good in both raid wings, as well.

Also there are some medic builds on YouTube which do well with healing but those aren’t “focused” healing builds. They mostly augment healing with life steals.
