Guild Wars 2

Which race do you think it is best to play Necromancer as and why? I have my Asuran Necromancer, but I kind of feeling like re-rolling another Necromancer to replace him with. Any thoughts?

Asuran is the best from a pvp standpoint. Smallest animations and least likely to go unnoticed. All others are purely a choice of aesthetic. Personally I like the way char necro looks.

Not truly true, both charr and human necromancers have big advantages if you wanna reroll for a condi necro (with charzookah and hounds) and Norn can be useful for both minion masters (Bone minions Wurm and Wurm2 is quite a nice combo i used during beta 3 when they were aggro as kitten) and can work for carrion scav rune lifesteal (since wolf forms siphon works with bloodthirst, it has a fear on it and on aa bleeds) hybrids and is actually a better transform than both lich and plague in case of a offensive hybrid build.

None of the racials are worth more than using for your amusement.

Little people are harder to see sometimes making PvP easier and I have an easier time doing jumping puzzles with – unless there are bigger people in your way and you cannot see the jumping path because of them.

It does not really matter which race you choose. I found it more personally rewarding to choose race and gender based on which armor sets look better. If you like a look and think some specific armors are awesome, then pick it. There are lots of armor sets that look awful, too.

Again i must mention, if you use a condition build hounds of balthazar are superior to golem for pretty much every boss in existence and apply their burning while charrzookah allows for more controlled personal long ranged burning application over a area.

Charrs have a pretty neat racial utility “Hidden Pistol” which is an evade on 15 second cd. Saved my anus many times, extra evade for a class that lacks any hard defense is precious, especially in PvE
