I've seen a Necro/Warrior do very well in PvP using these skills

Blood Magic
Life Siphon
Vampiric Touch

Death Magic
Vile Touch
Deadly Swarm

Just drop those on your bar and use the warrior tactics stances to take a hit and you'll be fine. Either way, anyone who can play their character well is usefull.

think about this; you just picked a necromancer for self-healing and direct damage.

how will that be a good choice.

I agree that the Necromancer is the least played primary profession. Perhaps this is why ArenaNet is featuring them on so many release boxes/promotions... after all... they LOVE balance.

wOot!

During the last BWE I saw less Mesmers than I did Necros. I dont think I partied with a Single Mesmer that whole weekend and nobody wanted the runes I had. There were also very few monks around. I would have to say that from what I saw:

1-Warrior
2-Ranger
3-Elementalist
4-Necro
5-Monk
6-Mesmer

I might have to make a Mesmer after release just becuase thier armor is so much more useful than Elementalists or Necros.

I saw more Necros than monks. I saw no Mesmers in Post-seared Ascalon. However, I saw a ton of Monks in Pre-seared Ascalon.

Wow, Mo/R it is! I was thinking of Mo/Me or Mo/R. But since there isn't any I'll be the first, lol

Funbun, this is just the first 67 responses on a little poll - it by no means suggests there won't be any out there, just that it isn't the most popular choice. As is expected, Warrior classes rate up there, and Ele/Mes is a very strong presence. It's up to 81 so far and now there is a Mo/Ranger on the list as well. No matter what you choose I'm sure you'll have fun.
