Necromancers are dead in high-level PvP without Soul Reaping from spirits.
The Reaper's Mark necromancer was nerfed into oblivion by A-net taking a piss on Reaper's Mark's recharge twice, then screwing over Signet of Humility's casting time while at the same time sucking up some more to mesmers with FC affecting signets. Thus one of the last GvG builds magically disappeared. DD spells from the elementalist and mesmer lines have been buffed to the point where it breaks the balance between caster classes, while also allowing Burning to effect spirits. The spirit nerfs have made the N/Rt healers unviable. Call them gimmick if you want, at least they gave N an option to actually play HA.
Oh, yes, necromancers can still play in the RA and AB sandboxes...
