Guild Wars 2

If you are evaluating Necro against each of the following classes right now, who gets nerfed of the two? This is designed to get classes to consider where they rank in terms of viability and which classes just suck compared to them.

Guardian v:

1) Elementalist
2) Engineer
3) Mesmer
4) Guardian
5) Ranger
6) Thief
7) Warrior

Simple answers (put explanations underneath if you want). Which class gets the nerf between the two (Necro or each of the 7 others)?

Sorry guys it is supposed to be your class Necromancer vs each of the other 7 classes.
In other words, if you are evaluating balance based on pairings, which class would get nerfed to achieve that balance? This differs from saying where you are in Power Rankings.

You don’t even mention whether this is in PvE, PvP, 1v1’s, WvW viability, Spvp viability, whether this is for power builds, condition builds, or anything.

Such a vague question will never do much good.

The answer to all patches ever is "My “x” class got nerved against a, b, c, d, e and f, and we didn’t even get any compensation."

In PvP against most common/“meta” builds and equally skilled players :

1) Elementalist —> necro
2) Engineer --> necro
3) Mesmer —> ~
4) Guardian --> necro
5) Ranger —> ~
6) Thief --> thief (with Corrupt Boon instead of Spectral Wall, which is most of the time)
7) Warrior —> warrior

Overall (and outside of special cases), I think the main difficulty for me are classes using zerk amulet + offensive traits + defensive utilities or zerk amulet + defensive traits + offensive utilities.

In wvw:

1) Necro, 2) necro 3)neither/not sure 4)necro 5) necro 6) neither 7) Warrior
