Guild Wars 2

Hi, going to be posting this question in necro forum as well. I am a newer player and I’m trying to decide between thief or necro. My goal with the character would be to have usefulness in fractals and dungeons, as well as pvp and wpvp. I want alot of fun factor into my class (I dont consider OP fun factor btw) and also to be able to take on most situations in the game. Thanks for all the help!

Well if you post it on the thief forum…..most people are just gonna say thief cuz they love the class.

So I guess +1 vote for thief.

Ha! Thanks, I know I will encounter quite a few “fanboys” on the respected class forum on which I am posting. I guess mostly the question pertains to people who are knowledgeable about the game and who may know each class. Thanks though!

Objectively speaking necro has an easier time in Pve enviroment namely dungeons and people can be biased not wanting thieves in groups.

+1 for thief though

Necro is easier to survive with, but they don’t bring anything useful to a group that other classes can’t do better. A thief on the other hand is capable of providing some of the highest potential dps in the game(I think only elementalist hammer specs are higher).

So yeah, if you can play a thief well enough to survive in dungeons without being 1-hit killed(which is half learning to dodge, and half learning the dungeons, and what abilities enemies have), then thief is a better dungeon class than Necro.

However, Necro is still viable for casual dungeons, is easier to survive with, and can be very fun to play… thats why I made it my first alt.

Anet wants you on a warrior and in sPvP.

I never have been not wanted in groups since everyone knows thieves do a ton of dmg. Ive heard storys about necros not being wanted in dungeons but i cant confrim or deny that one.

Ether way Anet does want you to use a warrior it seems.
