Guild Wars 2

To OP: try playing power necro. Pretty easy to play and not a lot of buttons to push but can really be a difference maker once you get good with it. I have also heard that it’s going to get better with updates.

Man this thing was a lot of fun. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks to everyone who made this happen great job.

I think I’m cursed when it comes to choosing what profession and build to play. I was told that my original choice (power necro) isn’t viable in high end pvp. So I switched to mesmer and also have been playing around with thief.

This, if it happens, completely ruins mesmer in high end pvp and somewhat gimps thieves. My apologies to you guys for bringing my curse to your professions.

As power don’t forget that you get 50% extra crit while in death shroud. So when u drop ur wells immediately go into ds and the pulses will crit. Hits super hard.

Love the conversation guys. It seems a lot of people think power necro is a viable build in NA tournaments due to team coordination not being that great compared to EU. So would it be true that if a team of superior coordination (an EU top team) took a power necro they would be fine?

It’s very interesting that the argument is somewhat split between it being a viable build to bring to a tourney and it being useless due to other similar classes being better. It was pretty much the same response when I asked around on twitch streams.

Appreciate the replies guys. So if I ever get to that level (doubtful) and I want to compete as a necro I guess condi would be my only option. Power necro is definitely what I enjoy most though so for those of u who are the same can u make a suggestion of a more viable power class that I might enjoy with a similar play style?

So I’ve been asking a lot on different twitch streams what people think. Could a team with a power necro win one of these big gw2 tourneys or is it just not capable of competing at that level?

Most say necros don’t have enough mobility and escapability but could we if we used wurm and spectral walk effectively? I’m still learning the ropes in spvp and am getting better but still don’t know a lot about the game. But it would definitely be disappointing if my favorite class and build couldn’t be used if I ever did get to that level.
