Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I’m new to GW2 and am wondering if there are any good summoner builds / guides out there.

I grew up playing D2 Necromancer and loved having army’s of minions to do my bidding!

Can anyone recommend anything for a new player?

Thanks and take care…

Also I’m wondering if playing strictly summoner is even viable for pvp / pvp? Thanks!

i cant vouche for TPvP modes but as far as PVE , they sorta start lacking in dungeons just cause almost every boss has an aoe ground pound and wipe them out in a blink of an eye…..open world PvE they work wonders , in PvP they can be ok , same as WvW , depends on your ability to work with them as well though. AI seems to still get wonky once in awhile (i miss GW1 minions ;-P )

Its nothing like diablo 2 necromancer. There are no aspects that are even remotely similar safe for naming.

In general pve its great. Everything else its lacking. As was mentioned dungeons 1 boss aoe can easily wipe them all out. Same for wvw any mass scenario and they just drop faster then they can get to anything.

Try it… you will either be able to bare with it or you will hate it profoundly.
