Hey !

Since HoT was released I have been playing only chronomancer in WvW, mostly using wells in a similar style to a backline necromancer.

After the recent nerfs to the mesmer, I felt really weak and started playing my necromancer again. I am having a lot of fun with the reaper spec, and I’m really considering focusing more on learning necro. How do you think they compare in medium size fights (20-40 people) ? What about bigger and smaller fights ?
It feels like gravity well has a bigger impact, especially when cast twice, but reapers seems to bring more damage after all your wells are used. They also seem to have a lot more sustain, even though their mobility sometimes makes surviving harder.
I really can’t decide.

Edit : this is all assuming I’m running a damage build with zerker stats
