I had a blast leveling as a minion spec necro. It was fun and powerful. If you heal your pets its honestly one of the best solo specs around of any class.
However, the end game for me is wvw and spvp. I have played quite abit of spvp when the game first began and I did ok as power and condition builds. Power is somewhat fun however now that the game has been out for awhile people are better at countering it and are organized. Condition spec is pretty powerful but it is extremely boring.
The game balance seems out of line. Power builds require deathshroud above 50% or lich to do adequate damage. The range on the DS nuke is only 900. Outside of this you need to be dagger because staff damage is very low. Smart players save the burst for when your in DS to bring it down below 50% or kite around pillars etc wasting your nukes. 900 range is too short for walls. Other classes have superior advantages in utility when they use power builds and are more useful.
You also lack the ability to regen without DS or mark of blood so often sieges etc are better done with other classes that can provide this. You can also get kited as none condition and often can get classes that out regen you running around objects etc. Its very frusterating.
