thief or necro
Speaking as someone who has both a thief and a necromancer at level 80, and as someone who mained a necromancer for 3 solid months, don’t waste your time leveling a necromancer. It will just end in frustration and a general feeling if you having wasted your time.
Personally, I like my necro over my thief anyday in PvP. However, that being said, I do enjoy the gameplay of thief a lot more because it tends to keep me on my toes a lot more than necro. What that means is, if you play them right, necro is easier to play effectively than thief.
have 6 lvls 80s, 4k + achievement, 13k wvw kills 3 sets of gears each on my war archer thief n necro, 4 me its always necro over thief …. well am wvw fan necro over anything else hehe, thief just to annoy stuffs contest keeps n so on farm roamers providing they r not necro.
But u sud try thief to a max lvl and so a necro n then decide, imho unless u can test their max potential you cant go by others choices, think abt it
Necro to farm Orr, thief to faceroll WvW
go necro, thief is a bit gimped at the moment due to 10+ nerf streak …
VERY different classes.
Necro is an attrition class with tons of defense and area denial, but almost zero mobility.
Thief is an evasive class with high burst potential and mobility, but almost zero inner survivability.
They play very differently, I’ll go as far as saying that Necro is the opposite of Thief.
If you are a player who has extremely good reflexes and quick thinking you should go Thief, if you have more of denialist/attrition/stalling mindset you should go Necro.
Thief is most of the time better, and is defintly cooler to play.
But Necro is very powerful for a premade gank group in WvW if you already have people playing thieves in your group.
1 necro + 2 thieves + whatever else > 3 thieves + whateverelse (- necro).
