This set up has worked so well for me, I’ve defended points, Killed single people and groups, and helped team mates by crippling people for them to pick off or finish if they go down.

I play a Sylvari Necromancer, I love to PVP on it and finish quests do the story Etc. I first saw necromancer and knew it was the profession for me. The things she says in combat just feel so well crafted, The look of the skills and the pets.

Decimating foes in PVP with my Condition build, Downing or killing multiple Foes before being killed my self with bleeds and poison is always fun. Watching as sometimes not even a team of 3 -5 players can’t kill me, and before they do I’ve killed 3 of them.

Short version Necromancers are defiantly my favorite class.

I basically Agree with Shazirah

I really don’t want to sound big head but, I’m not an “Amazing” PVP or a top renown pvper but I play Necro Condition builder, with Staff, Scepter + Focus, and I have had NO problems PVPing with it at all, in fact I’ve even used a Minion build too.

One time I took on 4 – 5 people underwater and Killed 3 of them (I’m not saying this for praise or WE, I’m just making a point) I played against some of my guild mates 4 on there team and just me with some strangers they were all in on Team speak working together, and my team managed to win with me on the top of the team mostly from kills.

The list goes on of random things I’ve managed to do in PVP as a condition build, so I really don’t see where all this negativity for Necros comes from.
