Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently started delving into GW2 again, and getting my completion and slowly running out of things to do, I am looking into pvp, for me, necro is an extremely confusing class, but im grasping things. The only actual thing I cannot grasp is, how the hell do you fight mesmers. Not having one, I do not know the mesmers skillset, therefore the logical awsner to be to play the mesmer, but I do not think I’d enjoy that, although the concept is fun.

But the question still stands, how does a necromancer tackle lets say a duel versus a mesmer.

Yeah, I was just observing my pets. I had 2 bone minions up, the flesh golem,the blood fiend, shadow wraith and the bone fiend. Which looks like a small and cool personal army. I was just standing there, talking with a person while a poor seperatist attacked my bone fiend. And then I got the best example of the issue at hand, only my bone fiend proceeded to defend itself. The other minions were not even caring. I do not think this is supposed to happen. But sometimes only the ranged ones attack, i can force the shadow wraith to attack by using its skill, and the golems charge sometimes works, SOMETIMES though. But the bone minions are always near me when i need the explosion burst. I do not know if this is intended, but I really hope it is NOT. But then again, they chose to not give us the duel feature, which in an MMO is very important imo, so everything is possible in my eyes.
