Guild Wars 2

Terok.7315:

I honestly see very little doom-calling in the necromancer forums. Anyway, conditions (any class and any build) lose effectiveness the more condition users there are in a group.

I probably did the forums a disservice by reading through the dec 10th changes. many angry people writing in those type of things.

I’m glad to see responses like this an knowing that the profession isn’t totally borked!

So I have just started playing again and leveled a warrior that I was playing a little before stopping. Anyway I have an 80 War and my 80 Necro. I have been going between the two for both pvp and pve content. I find playing a dot/control class fun and engaging for me. I like melee, but in this game I am not as huge of a fan as I thought I would be. Using Hundred Blades on a champion or boss and have him get pushed back….most frustrating thing ever especially after popping cds. BUT on the other end, playing a conditionmancer when the boss has a full stack of bleeds…just as frustrating, because now you feel worthless.
So here I am stuck…wanting to enjoy ONE class so I can start working on a legendary (I wont even get started on rainbow staff for necromancers)and spend my laurels on ect ect….so I read forums:
Power Necro=weak
Condi necro=weak when dot cap
MM=lol
life steal=lolol
Now I think maybe the melee warrior will be fun for me because they have great damage. Then deal with the blinding flash that is a boss and hope to stay on him while I’m having a seizure, only to HB and watch him get pushed back after one hit…

I’d love some opinions here, as I am just logging back and forth doing champs. I would probably be playing necro if reading the forums wasn’t so “end of the world necro’s suck”. And have trouble getting into fractals and other things that group comp can matter to some.

Thanks everyone!
