Guild Wars 2

So what are the niches and tricks of a Necro in Dungeons and Fractals? Why should one take a Necromancer over other professions?

If you could come up with anything, or have any cool tricks, please post here.

Here’s my own:
- There is a rumor that Dark Path goes through the Legendary Flame Shaman’s shield and chills him through it. (Unconfirmed)

- Summon Flesh Golem’s “Charge!” command is comparable in damage to a Fiery Greatsword. Likewise, the combined damage of both a Flesh Golem and Fiery Greatsword may be useful in future speedruns.

- Lifesteal goes through certain defensive mechanics of bosses

The only one worthwhile I know of is using spectral walk to survive impossible falls.
Used this to recover the hammer in cliffside fractal and to clear the ship jumping puzzle in the icy guild puzzle.
It was kind of hilarious because my guild had 2 Necros and everyone just suicide jumped into the ship, but another guild that was following us and screwing us up, dropping stalactites area, also jumped straight into the ship.

They had no Necros.
They were left there.

Damage of Golem Charge doesnt compare to FGS
Yeah the dmg of lifesteal is pretty low
dunno necro isnt prefered for dungeons cause he lacks cleave and party support. On the bright side:
We can help with heals just by taking a 10point trait (transfusion), we can stack good vulnerability (especially with axe or unyielded blast, dagger builds aren’t that effective in that area). We have good ranged dps if traited right with life blast, lots of condis to add to our dps. We can also facetank alot with just zerk gear, deathshroud can take lots of dmg

No other class gains as much benefit out of switching chars before the fractal starts as necros. That’s something [/qq]
