I haven’t played my necro in a long time. It was my first 80, but I somewhat abandoned her for another class. I do want to give my necro another try, but I need to re-acquaint myself with the class. I see axe still sucks, such a shame. I was using a condition build previously, but I am looking at possibly using something else. What is best for fractals if I decide to give it a try on my necro? Are we decent in WvW, or should I just stay out of there on a necro? Thanks guys.

On PVE / fractals take a look at this:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/The-ultimate-necromancer-dmg-hybrid-tutorial

A perfect guide, also with axe used as a weapon, only really viable for PVE.

As for WvW:

Classes we have a fair chance against: Ranger, Engineer
Classes we have chances against based on skill/gear: Guardian, Warrior
Classes we have almost no chance against if played well: Mesmer, Thief, Elementalist

If your alright with getting beaten up a lot during 1v1s WvW can be fun.

We are best at siegebattles with Marks and ranged wells, and good at lower scale battles 5vs 5 because of plague form
