Guild Wars 2

After trying all the possible builds for Nekro out there, i have to admit it is just the worst sPvP class.

It has absolutely no chance 1v1 against any other class right now.

The DPS is horrid, average Dagger hits are 400, while Axes hit at a base of 200. The last 3 1v1s i had with a Thief, a Warrior and a Ranger, i did only 15% dmg while spamming all 9 skills.

Something is horribly wrong. The conditions simply take too long to do damage, while you get bursted down in two seconds.

Each other class has more DPS than Necro.

Hundred Blade + Eviscerate does 20k dmg. Nekro only has around 24k, its basically a two button kill.

Every other class has more disables and interrupts than. The only disable Nekro has is immobalize from the dagger tree, and the laughable Fear.

Worse still every other class has more Escapes than Nekro. Our only Escape is DS, and that only delays our death.

If anyone has any decent builds for the Nekro for sPvP, please do share.

I actually think they are the best sPvP class, with tons of mobility and health and crowd control.

It’s all in the matter of how you play your character.

That’s one thing I love about this game, I can log in any class and still get top player… because when it comes down to it, it really does come down to you. I’ve never had any other game be that way.

“- Mesmer pets do more dmg then us with out whole kit.
Mesmers.”

We dont have pets! we have bombs!!

Boooooosh!

Just so you know as a Mez I do not like to fight you guys.

“tons of mobility” eh
COmplete and utter BS.
Same for the crowd control part.
OP you can be successful in spvp, can’t speak for tpvp. Try wells & a tanky amulet (soldier or at least knight). Last time I tried minion life leech spec it was ok as well although the minions are unreliable. In the hotjoin you want to be quite survivable since your ability to escape/stealth/run away/teleport sucks.

I don’t think that those sPvP screenshot scores prove that much. I’d say it’s easier to get more points in PvP with necromancer. I just follow the zerg and “tag” as many as I can with wells with whatever and wait them to die. I even may get killing blow because of tick of bleed or something. I just kind of bring support and hard hitting warriors and thieves do the actual killing.

Now when I played some mesmer I can actually take out players with burst and still bring awesome support with staff, though mesmers seems to lack some aoe.

It’s incredibly easy to kill with a necromancer, with proper positioning you can easily drop 10 stacks of bleeding within seconds.

Necromancers are more for groups because of the frost and weakness, yet I’ve had no troubles at all 1v1. Matter in fact most 1v1 I win, unless it’s someone within my level (Tier 3 {gold}Tournament)

When it comes down to it, it all comes down to the score board. If you’re a weak player and can’t position properly or acquire glory, then you are no use to the team.

Yeah, I do not believe you. There’s no way I lose with my mesmer to necromancer, and if necro gets support, I just runaway.

But saying that congrats being awesome and keep up, necros are rare in pvp atm.

all the possible builds – stopped reading after this.

But, to contribute: if you feel that necromancer isn’t the class for you, try something else.

If you can’t 1v1 people with a conditionmancer you are just plain bad.

I 1v1 people with a non condition vampire spec, my damage mitigation is awesome and I eat dual pistol engineers alive, pretty good point holder and 1v1 spec, but anything is possible with necro I do feel like we need buff here and there, but at least it is interesting to play one, and necro off specs like that can really throw people for a curve sometimes.

OP , if your only hitting for 400 with daggers your doing something wrong and you need to look into some DS stuff I hit over 1k with the first 2 attacks and then 2k+ with the third but I don’t kiss and tell your going to have to figure it out I hate pop classes and nerds and stopped

@Chase – Share your amazing spec with us then
