Recent state of the Necromancer?
On PVE / fractals take a look at this:
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
Sweet, thanks, I am going to give this build a try!
