Guild Wars 2

Hi! i want to roll a new profession and necro is calling my attention, just because the mechanincs and what it is to be one. I’m pretty new and i’ve haven’t seen very good comments about this class, i just want to know…for you is worth rolling a necro? i’m asking for everything on the game, pvp pve, wvw, leveling experience and…that’s all…thanks

Its worth rolling every class…

My experience with the Necro is that its the only class I can play good in sPvP as a well/spectral superbunker, its an amazing force multiplier to small or big WvW groups when played as a zerker (there is a reason its part of GWEN) and it can roam decently enough (I prefer spectral regen builds). In PvE I find it even more resilient than both my Warrior and Guardian when facetanking groups of mobs which combined with AoE skills make it excellent for completing events. For leveling, all I can say is get the dagger, learn your Death Shroud and go down zerker trees first (that 50% damage on downed mean you can surf through PvE on your back if need be, lol).

If you’re excited about playing necro then don’t come to the necromancer forums too often… there’s so much doom & gloom around here, people will tell you necro is the WORST CLASS EVER and there’s no reason to ever play one…

I typically only play open world PvE so I can’t comment much on the other game modes. I run a hybrid power/conditions build with dagger/focus for power and easy LF generation, and scepter/dagger for conditions. Staff is also good for both LF and conditions, but I wouldn’t run a pure condition build because death shroud doesn’t benefit too much from it, and you’ll need to use DS a lot. Speaking of which, necromancer doesn’t have much in the way of damage mitigation, so get used to tanking hits while in DS.

Pve: With a condition cap it should be a lot better than it is now
Pvp: You don’t want that drama
WvW: Absolute monster if you play right.
