Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if its just me but Im up to level 35 on my necro & just feels empty. Might be because my main was a necro for many years in GW1 & a warlock in that other mmo. So it just might be Im burned out on the profession. Need something new.

Also at that the necro itself feels not like a necro or caster at that. The minions are constantly dying on me & not attacking properly when I attack. Flesh golem is the elite skill & can’t even swim… overall the profession seems to lacking style & creativity.

Anyone else have these feelings? And if so are you rerolling?

Though I already have a lot of time into my necro, just doesn’t seem fun anymore more just forced lvling. And that think gonna go with a complete new style and roll a theif. The dual wielding pistols seems like a lot of fun & a new breath into my mmo experience.

Can’t reroll at the moment, due to social issues. Will as soon as I can (at 80, maybe). I’m sick and tired of not dealing any damage. If I played this game in order not to deal damage, I’d stay at the cooking station all the time.

Luckly I haven’t hit max level but I to feel like Im not dealing a lot of damage. I know there is no one shot rule (which is awesome) but seems like people are downing enemies a lot faster then I can. Also attacking the same mob as someone my minions just stand around doing nothing while the other person is doing majority of the work.

Exactly same feeling. I played through the betas as a Necro, but somehow it felt empty and lacking something, specially power wise. So, I rerolled a Ranger, and I’m having a blast with the greatsword.

If you plan on playing PvE, i wouldn’t recommend rerolling on a Thief.

I got my Thief to 80 a few days after headstart, and I’m actually rerolling on a Necro since then.

While the Necro has really SO many issues right now, we can at least hope for buffs/fixes. Thief in PvE (dungeons and so on) is so incredible weak and limited, that even Necros shine compared to that, while they won’t buff the Thief, since he absolutely rocks PvP, since stealth and blind are reliable defensive skills there, and the role of the fast map roamer who picks of weak targets is just not needed in PvE.

If you want to play mainly PvP (sPvP, WvW) instead, go for the Thief, it’s so much fun.

But i don’t think the reason you are sick of your Necro is, that you are “burned out” on that type of playstyle/profession, but more that the Necro actually isn’t that type playstyle/profession right now.

He doesn’t feel like the dark, minion summoning mage. The animations are complete lackluster and actually really hard to spot in fights, so there isn’t really a feel of powerful dark spells.
You just wave your hands around, and nothing really happens.
Same for marks, wells and so on. There isn’t even a way for allies to tell if you put a healing well, or a Well of Suffering, or whatever down, since they all have the same look, just like many other spells of the necro feel like placeholders.

The minions for the most part look ridiculous, and you more feel like laughing if you see someone running around with them than anything else – not exactly what a scary dark mage wants, isn’t it!?

But if you like the theme of the Necro (how it’s supposed to be, not how it is right now), then you won’t find that on other classes, i tried it. So i would suggest sticking to the Necro, and hope for improvements.
While we miss the Necro theme while playing the Necro (yep…), we will miss it even more when playing other classes.
