Guild Wars 2

Anyone else having a rather good time as a Power Necro? I’m going Spite/Blood/Reaper with Marauder’s amulet and vampire runes, D/W and Staff and I am having a good time of it. I tend to win 8/10 1vs1s and can hold my own against 3 opponents quite often. I am not a PvP expert, (though I have gotten better since I stopped panicking and blanking out when I face other players XD) so it could be I am matched with players with less skill but I have been having consistent winning streaks (with the odd losing steak).

depends which tier in pvp you are.

You are fighting low skilled players if you survive 3 players on necro. In current game almost all classes kill/counter necro in 1v1 fight you only win vs “about” mid skilled players of other classes if you are a decent necro. Every skilled players of other classes will kill you in conquest especially as you don’t go there with 1v1 build with golem.

Yeah but that’s got nothing to do with the topic. There was no question of viability but instead if you were having fun. Seems like you are not having fun with power reaper.

However I am, and it’s all I’m playing at the moment. Though my build is nothing like OP’s.

My pvp necro build relies on my pvp partners, if I’m being honest. I’m a fair threat in teamfights with wells and [“Chilled to the Bone!”] and deadly vs people who aren’t attentive of [Grasping Darkness] , since if that crits after a weapon swap, I have a garunteed [Gravedigger] thanks to quickness. Which can oneshot squishier classes if [Chill of Death] procs. Or better yet, [Chill of Death] and then [Chilling Nova].

Meanwhile as I get focused, my power mesmer friend blows somebody up, or my thief friend ganks one of their squishies.
I admit I’m probably at a medium/low tier, but that doesn’t change the fact that its a blast to play. You walk at people with dagger/wh and put the fear of god into them or put [Nightfall] on points and try and drag people in for [Gravedigger] and make them regret everything they’ve done up to that point.

Not to mention raw [Gravedigger] is the most satisfying things to land… especially on thieves.

I play necro (not reaper) on my f2p account. It works, it’s not good, but it works. Is it fun? Not so much.
