Guild Wars 2

So just started playing a few days ago after playing another MMO for years and years. I was really excited to make a necro and get leveling, Ive always played caster classes and Necro looks right up my alley. But was reading the forums looking at builds and all that and all I was seeing is unwanted they later on at 80. I just dont want to invest a ton of time to a proff thats just gonna be kicked from groups over and over….only other classes that interested me was mesmer

The most close to "other MMO classic caster" is Staff-Elem only (and they are very good in this role and pretty welcomed in the dungeon groups), not Necro and especially not Mesmer.

If you still want to play Necro and "not being kicked from dungeons", so you need to use melee weapon - dagger and forget about any kind of pets aka minions.
Whatever, for any dungeon are only Power specs viabe.

So the main 2 classes that intrest me at all are unwanted at 80, sigh….

Classes unwanted? Not. Wanted? Not also.
Some specs highly unwanted? Yes. Some specs wanted? Yes too.

Meh, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Only elitist scumbags will kick you, most people don’t mind.

If you have a decent guild they wont care abiut your prof. But you would be a litte more useful with a different char. Staff ele is really fun to play and feels more like a caster. Its also wanted in all pve content as well as wvw.

Mesmer is a very good PvE class. No idea how you came to the conclusion that its not. Maybe because pugs dont ask specifically for mesmers? Its not great for damage but its utility is top notch.

See how many times mesmer is used. And see that sometimes two are used.

Usually, it’s very helpful to read before posting.

Yeah sorry that was a bit of reading comprehension failure. But it looked like you were implying mesmer was bad. I think you can see that how you ordered your sentence and brackets caused the misunderstanding. My mistake.

The OP never said he wanted to play a traditional caster class. So mesmer is still an option. And you can clearly see the OP misinterpreted your post aswell (read his second post). So thats why i also misinterpreted it. I was trying to correct the misunderstanding.
