Need Advice
Dungeons/fractals: you will never see a group looking for a necro. It’s not like this class is bad at it, but ppl often look for specific team compositions, in which case necros are most likely not the most “desired”.
Soloing: depends on the content.
PvP: 2 scenarios:
1. You fight alone against 2+ ppl: if they are decent you won’t survive, while other classes have a chance at escaping with mobility skills or stealth. Underpowered.
2. 1v1: atm craaazy overpowered!
Especially in WvW where you can use PvE gear and nourishment.
And it’s not just the infamous Dhuum/Terror builds, but certain powerbuilds as well.
I run a build that works without Dhuumfire, but on very rare occasions I shift some trait points around to get it. So I don’t always run it, but when I do I feel embarrassed by how ridiculously overpowered it is.
Weapons for PvE lvling: stick with power stats and traits, so everything but the scepter.
..for PvP: depends on the build, so far I’ve seen every possible weapon combo in viable builds.
