Guild Wars 2

then you haven’t played structured pvp or played any other class for that matter .. a necro has trouble killing mobs a few lvls above them, but warriors for instance mows through groups of mobs with breeze. Mobs that are maybe 2-3 lvls above them and still come out with 80% hp or more.

I have no issues in PvP. I usually get top or close to top score on my necro even in tournaments. Of course I could do a lot better were it not for all of the glitches.

And yes, I miss the hunched necro, it was a nice visual.

You get less points for kills.

Not necessarily, you get quite a lot of points by killing to defend/attack a capture point. And then, sPvP is not just about killing.

The necro isn’t as bad as it is made out to be. I love the concept of the necro(I’m level 80 on mine), but right now it is broken. So many of it’s skills are bugged that i makes the most viable builds less effective. Whoever says that they always do well with the necro is lying. I do alright with my necro, and to be honest I finish near the top often. That doesn’t mean I am doing well though. A lot of the player don’t know how to play their classes. Killing guardians and thieves is pretty tough. The other classes can be brought down more easily.
You have to pick and choose your battles with the necro, especially for pvp. We don’t have the power or conditions of other classes. Our minions suck and can’t tank for us(except the flesh golem who hits anything that moves). We need some love.
Everyone needs to be honest with their experiences. Every one of you who lies to stroke their kitten, “I crush everyone, L2P nub,” needs to shut up and learn that they aren’t the best in the world. They are liars.

Yes the Necromancer in GW2 is a visual disappointment to me also.
People are attracted to that class for the gothic/halloween/scary elements of it. Now the Necromancer looks like it could pass for a Mesmer? I was also dissapointed in the look of the Minions. In GW1 they were scary and there were lots of them, overwhelming foes with their sharp teeth and bony spikes. The new little rat tailed thingy’s just are disappointing. IMO, the class could use a little spookyness mixed in visually.

I kind of abandoned my Necromancer finally. I could not force myself to play it anymore.

I stated a mesmer, but till 20 it seems even more dissapointing. Low dmg, no burst (exluding suecide clones that miss targets a LOT), BUT its still fun a bit, since it is what is supposed to be atleast.

The illusions work like a charm, it makes Mesmer the real tickster and caster it supposed to be….unlike Necro, that is totally unNekromancer ish.
