Guild Wars 2

First of all, this things are my opinion, after leveling a necro to lvl 24. (i think necro is super fun, dont get me wrong)

So, i feel like the best build for necro’s in PVE solo is minion master (Not PVP, Not dungeons or something, straight up fighting, like hearts)

So, i have the minion master build with a staff as primary weapon. This is something i HATE about my build

1. The minions. I love minion, and i think its super fun to have an army after me, they also hit high. BUT! What i hate about them is that they all die if i touch water. (Except the blood fiend) So with my build, if i go into water i have to wait like 40 seconds before i can summon them again. With MM build you really need the minions aswell

A simple fix to this is if Anet could make so the minions wont die when i enter water. Maybe they shouldnt be able to fight, but they should NOT die. Lets say i have to cross a river wich takes 2 seconds. It can screw me over

2. The staff attacks. It’s good everything is AOE, but it is very frustrating and stressfull aswell. Be sure to hit the right spot etc. And its very slow attack

3. The minions are so aggressive. I cant rush to places. If i want to get from place A to place B i have to fight every single mob in my way. Or else my minions will attack them, and die. So they leave me alone wich is bad as a MM.

4. Very few builds. I am used to a warrior so this is pretty bad for me. I want to experient with different builds.

But overall i think the necro is alot more fun than a warrior!

1. That’s a fault on your part. You need to have them all sloted to the same utility slot in water as on land, then they won’t die. (except the flesh golem)
2. Use your secondary set. by level 24 you should already have it unlocked. But yes the auto attack is slow.
3. This is something already being addressed.
4.This is something being addressed.

1. Just use the same minion skills underwater as on land, only the golem disappears.
2. auto staff is bad, but atleast it hit harder than the mesmer bounce auto
3. youre right, this is bad. I let them die on the way and summon them just when I need them again.
4. condition, minion, well, bunker, power, ds, support and siphon just to name a few.

Wait? Can i set the minions as a underwater skill aswell… <.<? facepalm

Thanks for telling me!

Another criticism post that could have been resolved by doing a little research on your part…

1) Wrong, well with the exception of flesh golem that thing can’t swim

2) An attack is stressing you and is frustrating? Wow… I am quite amazed something so simple would stress people out. Solution: Use a different weapon set to level

3) Pet AI is broken? See the other 9000+ posts on this topic

4) You’re level 24….. 24 really? Try playing the class a little longer and experiment with more than one build before you start criticising/passing judgement on every spec… No one is forcing you to pigeon hole

I’m starting to think this was another troll post, but I assume you’re being serious

Still can we try and confine these posts to one thread, something along the lines of
“I am level XX, I have not taken the time to experiment with my profession, please listen to my opinion because it is completely novel and has no way been mentioned in the other 9000+ identical posts…”

Still on a positive note, glad you’re enjoying the necro profession

P.S Sorry, had to add this – your 2nd sentence and 4th point contradict each other

Let’s take it easy on the condescending tone. He asked a question about the class, and even if the answer is easily found one of the primary functions of the Necro forums is for Necro players to ask questions about the class. Let’s not have this turn into the theif forum :p
