Agree 100%, each class plays differently and when you figure out what works best for it, every class can feel powerful. As a necro, nothing beats gathering a bunch of regular and veterans and taking them out with 2 dps/condition wells, and well of power, well of healing and everything else in your arsenal save for your elite. Only time I have trouble fighting mobs is when I have to fight them 1 at a time and my utility skills are all on cd, then its kiting time haha. Also as a necro you don't even have to use pets if you don't want to, I never do unless its to fight dragons or used to distract mobs when i just want to grab a gatherable or something

How are Necro and Thief holding up in PVE since launch? Going to roll one to keep my warrior company and my gameplay experiences fresh.

Play guild wars now, save money by not having time to play said sequels. Get at discounted prices when you have time later. Profit?
What, I do it almost daily with gaffers.
You gotta work hard against 2+ mobs, but it's worth it. Not for the faint of heart, definitely. And your ass will be down often in dungeons on your first time through. But once you learn the game and your enemies, you will be destructive.
I wasn't telling him to play Warrior, merely suggesting that he change his class and try something else. I find the Elementalist to be horrifically boring. Pull everything in range, kite, spam spells, everything dies. Zzzzz. Melee, especially when fighting bosses, is far more entertaining.
You do? I played Elem for a while during beta and the only times I died were when I fell off of cliffs. Has it changed since then?
Got mine to 80 and regret rolling one. Horribly boring class. Do four times the work to pull of what most classes can do with 5 skills.

Enjoying the necro. Might be an idea to play one as it would break up the face bashing you're currently doing.
Nope, cliffs are still pretty deadly.

Strange my friend pulls a bunch of mobs proceeds to pull out either a giant fucking thunder hammer or fire sword and destroys them all in mere seconds. No kiting at all
Funniest thing in the game is the Fire Great sword 1st attack with the mesmers haste aoe
Cliffs are OP as fuck! I accidentally walked right off a sheer cliff the other day. Didn't even see that shit coming ;_;
I'm not on the GAF server.
Not always, if you know the profession well enough then you will most likely be down less than some other professions. Even if it's your first time through the dungeon.
Also to the person above: Spamming sells won't get you that far later on. Knowing when to use what spells will. Be it some CC (Frozen Ground, Static Field, Earthquake), Healing (Geyser, Healing Rain, Water Trident) or some damage (Most spells even ones that are CC and healing)
But hey, I just enjoy playing my Elementilist so maybe it's just me.

Others will disagree, but Necro is just OK. There's a good number of skills not functioning exactly as intended that make some build choices a bit unviable. If you have a small group to run with, Necro is a LOT of fun, though. Solo is still viable, but you'll have to work at it a little bit.
lol
Speaking of, does dying of fall damage reset your monthly XP without death achievement? I haven't been too keen to test it.

Yeah I think so. As much as I love the warrior weapon diversity, I'm needing some different mechanics. I'm a sucker for a bit of flash, and outside of going an elementalist it seems the necro has the next best graphical touches.

Has anyone here tried Necro in PVP? If so, please share your experience.

I PvP'd on my Necro a bit (WvWvW, 16, and tourney). I found it less than enjoyable since we don't have much burst. When I WASN'T the target of our team fights, it was pretty cool because you could see their health slowly depleting (conditionmancer), but it was still aggravating when they cleansed all conditions and I was back to flicking stones until CD's for condition damage were up. It's an interesting class that is DEFINITELY a support role. If you have a good team build, a smart Necro will do some crazy things.
I think any sort of death will reset it. However, that xp comes a lot easier once you get to level 30+ (2.5 levels roughly to get the 100k).

You'll get your monthly like WOAH once you hit the high level zones. I hit my monthly the first time via crafting. When they did the reset a few days ago (since they forgot to on the 1st?), I hit it again in like, an hour in Orr.
So I take it logging in and out will reset it too? :|

Haha no, just a side project to give me something different. Enjoy my Charr warrior too much to change.
Yup :/
So how many of you speak with an NPC to start an event only to have it be a one-off halfway across the zone? Sucks when you don't have a close waypoint to it and the "boss" is down to 5% health when you actually make it over there - boom bronze.
FFS ANet needs to straighten out some of those locations between the NPC who starts the event and where that event is. They don't have to be right next to one another - but damn. Especially shit when a waypoint becomes contested due to an event. Even with swiftness some events are just idiotically too far away from where they are activated. That shit grinds my gears!

Pfft, haven't seen my thief then!

Too bad can't disable helm/shoulders on start up screen.
Shortbow is horrible, Only time it's decent is during keep seiges.
That npc doesn't start the event. I think they're just random npcs that alert you to events that may be happening.
Well partying in the AC exp did give me some renewed hope for my ranger to be hot. But it's no dress and heeled boots.
dont judge me

My friend I'm playing with was browsing around for shits and giggles and stumbled on this
Now I ask, isn't that close to the same rate you are getting with gem conversion in the first place? These Chinamen are crazy.
Nope. That is about 2-2.5x the going rate. You get twice as much gold for your money based on those prices and the latest conversion rate.
lol
You're just jealous. Looks better without the hat!

What's funnier is how much you get for actually exchanging gems. It's pathetic. I had 200 gems left over after buying my bank and inventory space but I'm just going to save it and buy more gems with in-game currency to get space for my alts instead. I think the 200 gems I had amounted to something like 36 silver last time I checked. :|
Oh you want a dress? Then you want nighmare medium armor.
Though that color scheme sucks. You can preview the armor at the dungeon set vendors in Lion's Arch. Whispers armor is also sorta dressy.

Nope. Did the same event 3 times to test it out to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Talking to NPCs does start events (not all, off) - which is why its important to talk to them if you don't see DEs much where you are.
Well I've had npcs come yelling at me for events that were already started.
