These threads bother me a lot. Our solo PvE capabilites are just fine, I don’t think anyone says differently. Necro’s completely fall below the curve when fighting world bosses, thanks to the 25 bleed stack cap and pathetic power options we have.

Then if you go to PvP as a necro, we have 1 viable build, which yes, is very strong. But that’s it, we have no diversity, forced to run with the same build game after game, with only a slight margin to change traits/utilities around.

What is this build? Can you link it?

Honestly, I haven’t tried WvW or any PvP for Necro, but if say clothed-class die a lot, it was supposed to be like that? Hit hard but lightly armored.

Judging by the amount of people recommending level 80 playthrough, definitely have to try that.

There are a lot of threads that explain our problems with this profession: The huge amount of bugs, the low killspeed, the lack of diversity, …

I wouldn’t call it hate, we are just annoyed cause this profession seems to lack a lot of love.

Granted this class have a lot of bugs etc, but I have to disagree on killing speed. Stack enough bleed and poisons, coupled with well (corruption maybe), I say we can kill pretty quick. Also, some posts on Necro section even suggested we are condition damage build? Maybe a little bit of burst, therefore wouldn’t that be the play style of Necro anyway i.e.: killing not as fast?

Let’s cut to the chase, I created Necro after reaching level 80 with Thief’s DB build and so far I quiet like it, in fact imo this class is one of the easiest class to play, especially when you have non-minions build that just constantly spewing numbers.

My Necro is currently at level 30+ and at first, I was kinda lost to which what build I should go for, so I went to forums to know about different builds but to my surprise, there are so many criticism in regards to this class, e.g.: not being strong enough or something along those lines. I solo’ed two veterans with ‘well build’, kill packs with ‘corruption build’ and I rarely have down times.

So what I don’t get is that, what are people whining about? the bugs does not make the class unplayable; in fact I went through high spawn rate areas without much of an issue in regards to this. I can even survive better than my thief using necro.
