Guild Wars 2

so i just found somebody who told me necros have a better protection uptime than guardians and wanna know if i miss anything to say thats kittened:
we have 2 skills that grants protection
spectral armor 6sec on 60sec cd (9sec on 48sec cd if traited)
spectral wall 5sec on 45sec cd (5sec on 36sec cd if traited)
and the trait ritual of protection that grants 3sec protection per well use
also you get boon duration from the death magic tree and you could get runes for it
so all in all i wouldnt say necros have the best protection uptime because who places a fear wall to get protection (only once) and who has that if youre not in a terror build anyways
you have to get 2 traits with an investvent of 30points for only 1 good spell spectral armor which yes is a rly good skill but not only because of the protection uptime
last option is wells and im not placing wells randomly to get protection when im in pvp
and we have condi conversion to get protection…yeah
so can anybody say me why some people are saying that when they look on a random necro they always have protection i myself am not even using spectral armor so i have 0 protection…can somebody say me the general guardian protection uptime
so have i missed anything

before hating im not saying this needs to be changed we have enough mitigation like for example ds ^^

thx for reading

I think most people say that because we have most of the time 4 points in soul reaping.
So we have the minor trait last gasp which gives protection.

yeah last gasp is spectral armor when 50% life i forgot that… is it affected by spectral attunement?

I think it does.

First off, its complete BS. Why? Hammer Guardians. I was messing around on Guardian yesterday and just a small point investment into symbols (increases duration+size) makes it very easy to not only give myself 100% protection uptime, but anyone standing on point with me. Technically speaking I could give my entire party of 5 100% protection uptime just with an auto attack (although you wouldn’t want to in PvP because cleave).

Necromancers have technically decent access to protection, but it isn’t that high in uptimes, it is a burst thing.

Necros do pretty well with protection, but now that I think of it – I think all of guardian protection can also be applied to the group. Every source I can think of can support the group. Necros have some protection support, but not like that.

That’s a complete bullkitten, OP. Go back to that guy spreading propaganda and tell him to use something else than Greatsword.

With a good rotation. Of wells we can have.uptime of protection for.most of the time.but.no.were.near gaurds.
