I’m not one to argue on forums so I won’t. I’ll simply just state my experiences.
I am a level 80 necromancer in a WvW focused guild. And I am very successful at what I do. I am usually the first to run into a group of people, (along with a group of my own of course.) and will come out with at least half health. I win all my 1v1’s on the battlefield. (Only a thief beat me once. I had a moa on me, but no excuses I suppose.) and still I was able to get him in the downed state.
I do a considerable amount of damage with long retaliation buffs, lots of vulnerability, and 10+ might. (All applied, just by myself)
So far I have enjoyed my necromancer, and have not looked back. I will admit however, that the necromancer is not where it could, or should be. A buff is mostly wanted by the populace, and I don’t see a buff hurting anything, but only helping the necromancers be more playable, in more varieties to more players.
In its state right now. I disagree that the Necromancer is unplayable. That simply is not true. It just will not appeal to a greater amount of people that every other class seems to do
Edit: I’m not usually a bragger either, but I want to here. I once took on a 1v5 killing 3, before the other 2 simply gave up. I did have to run away quite a few times though. And I’m confident I personally would not of had that success on any other class.
Edit2: I did not mean weakness, I meant vulnerability
