Guild Wars 2

It seems that there are a few people who think we are a bit OP

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Necro-OP/first#post1441085

So far the odds are stacking that there is the belief that Necros played well are one of the top classes, but that most players who play them are bad or play team specific builds.

Someone in that thread said that a warrior was a weak class… lol

Necros are decent… i would like to see a better power weapon build available… just not too keen on Axe or Dagger.

My Mesmer/Thief are more effective at smashing skulls in WvW. The thief is pretty absurd…. easiest class to play.

I just use the Necro in PvE these days…

Necros are OP against… noone really. When a necro win and seems OP, its because the opponent totally underestimated him/her or forgot that 10-15 stacks of bleeds tend to hurt pretty bad and some glasscannons tend to forget to bring their condition removals.

Wow that thread is so full of trolls (the one Bas linked) I can’t take half of what I read in there seriously…

Lol, the OP of that thread here.
The thread was not that much about whether necros are OP or not, but more about which one of the necro and the mesmer is best for 1v1 situations. The title was actually meant to make more people check out the thread as I know people would react a lot when I said ‘’Necro OP’’

well, necros are certainly not op. but with a condi build (i have no experience with power builds) they can be very strong.

ofc u need to know whatyou are doing, but that goes for any class. get the right spec, get the right gear for it, and l2p it, and youll see how strong necros can be.

So, troll thread then?

It’t a glass canon build you are very squishy put you do alot of aoe damage it is really greate to get a Guardian down, and do alot of damage on a point. But you are weak in duel.

My normal Necro build is a Condition Build.

Necros are a strong class but as a necro you are very bad at finishing enemys. My problem in tournament is to get the enemy stomped, I get them down but all other class are better in rezz and finishing. You don’t have Quikness and you can’t make you invincible to finish.

I have the exact same problem no matter what build i use. I get them down, but cant finish them off.

The only two ways to get a good Stomp is to stomp in the plague elite skill or in death shroud when you have the greatmater trait which give you stability in Death Shroud.

But both are more like a Bug. You need too trigger Death Shroud/Elite Skill at the exact time when you press F for the stomp.

Shroudstomping doesn’t work in sPvP. Haven’t bothered trying it in WvW or tPvP.

It certainly used to – I haven’t tried in a while but I know I was able to do it before – it was tricky to get the timing right though.

I think the good necros that stayed with the class adapted their builds understood the strengths that necros have and are maximizing them, now 6 months into the game they are easily beating new players, rerolls or those that underestimate them.

I now play my Necro and have embraced DS, I feel as the the class with the spec I run is strong but not OP.

I don’t even bother stomping. if I am with someone else, they do it, while I control the opposing team to prevent them from rezzing. if I am by myself, I will just kill him off (MM are awesome).

It still works, just tried it.

I think a necromancer is better in a harassment role, than to stomp.

You can very easily force lots of players to burn their cd’s, making it alot easier for teammates to get the final downs and stomps off.

I just don’t stomp as a necro unless I think I can get away with it on the first try.

I prefer to just attack them to death or help my team out by making sure no one can res them while someone else stomps.
