I’m currently Installing GW2. I have some friends that play the game, and I used to play GW 1. The classes I adored for GW were necromancer and ritualist (maybe Mesmer a bit). I actually liked elementalist until EOTN came out. The only spec I really liked was water and it seemed like everything I was fighting there had 75% damage reduction to cold. I love casters, especially those that have great aoe, control, support, and sadistic trickery at their disposal. Damage less of a thing for me than mass buff/debuff/control is, especially when you get to set things up for awesome effect over doing something simple for merely sufficient effect. I adored old necromancer Orders of the Vampire until ursa farming came out. (I hated Ursa no ability to be creative at all)
Anyway I think i’d enjoy the necromancer class but every-time I look at any necromancer forum most of what I see is that they suck. That they level slow, that no one wants them at high levels, that most of their builds aren’t viable. I’m thinking this might be similar to WoW where you talk to any player and they will tell you they are the weakest class in the game no matter what class they might be playing. Then again, maybe not.
If I’m going to be constantly struggling to level myself and advance my personal story, if I’m going to be ignored by other players when I want to team up and do something, if I’ll have no options when it comes to choosing a build or abilities because 90% of them do nothing, or if the only thing necro does well is single target damage… Than I’d rather know now before I invest a lot into a Necromancer.
So please let me know what I’m getting into. Let me hear some counter points about how necromancers rock. Or maybe just suggest the profession I might enjoy is Necro wont be it.
