I have a lvl 80 necro, warrior, elementalist and engineer. I like the necromancer the most out of these four. Maybe some other classes do more damage in specific situations (I find this difficult to compare), but the necromancer is enjoyable to play in pve, wvwvw and pvp. In pve I feel like I have more survivability than other classes (due to death shroud, our high innate HP, aoe blind and chills, a heal that removes all conditions). In wvwvw I think no class is quite as good as doing lots of damage quickly and often to large groups of players from a safe distance (wells, epidemic, staff skills, aoe bleeds). Pvp is probably where I feel weakest, the main reason being that we aren’t fast killers and lack movement skills to evade focus fire. And pets aren’t very good, I hardly ever use them aside from the elite.
Pros:
Survivability
Strong AoE damage
Cons:
Doing damage requires buildup time
Lack of movement skills to supplement dodging
(of course, if we didn’t have these cons necro would be the best class in the game)
