Guild Wars 2

Hello everybody,

I’m a new player (playing since almost month now) with a very small experience overall.

let me explain you that I’m a very pvp/wvw oriented player and I never founded difficulties in general playing pvp but also in pve.

atm I have a guardian at lvl 71, ranger lvl 64, revenant lvl 37 and a mesmer at lvl 13.
right now I’m focusing on get both my guardian and ranger al lvl 80 but I was sooo curios about the Necro.

is it a good class for wvwvw? can you get invited in groups easily?
is this build still viable?

I have a free boost to get a character at lvl 80 – you think it’s fine if I use it for my necro?
or maybe it’s better to get familiar with the class by leveling like with my previous characters?

Thanks a lot everyone!
Joe

nowadays the best and main 3 classes in WvW zergs are guardians, revenants and necros, if you want to roam, you can choose any class you want. the good thing about necros is there are a lot of variety of builds you can play, it is a very powerful and essential class in wvw/pvp. i never played that build you linked from Meta battle, usually i dont like metabattle stuff, but as a start try some exotic gears before going and crafting ascended.
You can start as condi with the dire gear (condi dmg, +vitality, +toughness) or Marrauder for power necro (power, +precision, +vitality, +ferocity).
the dire gear gives a lot of sustain, and survivability for zerg run. what i run now is 5 trailblazers tier set, and 1 viper, rest is all viper (weapons, trinkets …etc)
but yeah Necro is one of the best and most fun classes in WvW
good luck

It’s fine but it could be quite a bit better. I’d boost necro to 80 tbh.

To piggyback on what mirkava said,
Before crafting full celestial go ahead and mix any random exotics you get ahold of. That’s pretty much celestial but less efficient. If you decide to use celestial then don’t make exotic versions. It’s a waste of resources. If you need information on how to obtain ascended gear cheap and reasonably quickly post in the general forum or perhaps in the WvW forum.

shout build is pure melee build… without insta stability u r more or less easy kill in melee raids. we lost it with plague elite skill when it was remade, skill when u turned in to a god of toughness spreading conditions. The only one that is left is through soul reaping trait line – foot in the grave.
many rather play mid range/range, condi/well power builds.
