Guild Wars 2

Does anyone feel like dealing pitifull damage in spvp while on necro?

I feel like i’m forced to take all the defensive tanky stuff for stripping and my damage feels like its not that great.I would love to take epidemic but i know that deep down i can’t sacrifice boon corrupt for epidemic because enemies will completely destroy me and my team due to how much better they are at buffing and dpsing.I feel more like a utility class than a true dpser who is master of bleeds and poisons.

The necromancer is a Support class, atm.
In sPvP the necro role is not to inflict damage, you’re the worst to burst and that game is all based on who burst faster. Also the overall dps of a necro will never be higher as a druid, war, mesmer, dh or thief, they all make you’r dps look bad.
The necromancer can inflict good damage, and also kill people, but not the best for shure.

The role of the necro since before HoT is only one: corrupt all the enemy boos. Focus your corruptions on who have stability and might and eventually kill eles (we’re the best to kill eles because we can spam boon corruptions all the time).
If you don’t bring boon corruptions you’re totally useless to your team. Necro is the best (and the only one) to corrupt boons and that’s the only role for that class since the trait and condi rework before HoT.
(always better than before, when a necro was Totally useless. At last we’re good to something)

The Necromancer in sPvP is a Offensive Support class that help the team to kill the enemy corrupting boons, spamming poison to reduce they’re heals and spamming different conditions helping allies that use condi builds to keep they’re conditions up also if the enemy have tons of condi clean.

A good necro can be a great resource for his team, but for shure not a dps. If you want to be a dps change class.

At high level you also need a babysitter to stay alive, but that’s a different and old story.

Honestly i can pewpew down people, necro is still a dps class. This is my most recent match currently rank 200 necro this season. You just have to realize you will be the focus target 90 percent of the time, gotta know when to strike and when to flee

But little tick while very good player still got owned by enemies who were non necro because they had better survivability blocks and dps.If it was balanced in skills and survivability tick should have won rather than the enemy because of skill.

Either dps of others needs to be nerfed so spike dmg isn’t instant or necros need to be able if specced to sacrifice some survivability for more dps.Personally:I’d like if necros got a bit more survivability so we aren’t targetted first and make enemies think.

I really like necro but i think i’m going to reroll.I want to be able to solo queue and have fun and have a decent chance.Maybe i’l reroll to a guardian or a warrior.
