Is necromancer a good class for dps? i need opinions

[Sakuo]

I played the class for a few weeks and maybe is just me but the damage seems to be really low, the whole class seems better for a tank or a healer but i can be wrong so please tell me your take on his class

[HNTR]

Why don't you take a look at some benchmarks and decide for yourself? Usually you want to play what does the highest bench. As I recall correctly necromancers was more used as a support rather than dps

necromancer (from a meta perspective) is currently thee worst class in the game. it's viable as a tank or healer but there are other classes that do both those roles better. and as a DD it's pretty much a joke. current easiest DPS class to hit 50-85k numbers would be arcanist. but, if you don't plan on doing veteran trials and whatnot, honestly i'd just say pick whatever class you want, with any role you feel like playing. afterall it's a game, as long as you have fun doing what you do, nobody else's opinion should matter

They are okay, but i like the arcanist better, got a crazy dps with that fatecarver ability. Been seeing alot of players using it atm.

All classes can reach 120k on a dummy, Necro feels for a lot of people clunky, so it might just not be your class. Try the others too. A lot of people find Arca easy and do good damage with it, the world is full of it because it is "meta" untill they change it to something else. Before it was HA Sorc and before that DK. It does not hurt to have other chars, but try to find the class that fits you best.
Necro make decent Tanks, but you do not have any shields and rely on healing much.

Every class works in PVE if you get right build and skills and no ambitions of beating the world rankings. The problem with Necro is that this class has awfull feeling attached to it - everythings feels not right as DD. Tank on the other hand is fun, especialy troll necrotank in PVP, but thats a diffrent story.

Edit - I think the worst part of necromancer class is that it actually has nothing to do with the necromancy. Its more like summoner than necromancer. All undead dissapear after few seconds unlike sorcerer's pets that stay untill they get killed. What a lazy, boring design. Probably worst necromancer class I've seen in any game.

yes thats why im asking for opinions, i feel it like a slow class that requires a lot of effort to play because of the short spawn time of the minions but i wanted to know if i was the only one feeling something similar

i know that is more important whatever i think before anyone else opinion but is like watching a movie critic BEFORE going to the cinema. i feel that the class is bad but i want to know the thoughts of other players before giving the class a second chance and lose my time

[siransan]

I would not say the class is bad, but if feels slow, like casting blastbones or even the sickle, they feel heavy and unsatisfying, at least for me, i prefer doing 10 light attacks over a heavy in andy game.
But yeah not many people play cros, probably for these reasons, but EC Cros are still searched for Trials.
Try the other classes and also if you prefer ranged or melee.
Sorc is solid, you have your own Tank and Healer.

Necros are alright in support, they just not best choice for PVE. Much better suited to PVP. Natural tankyness and illegal spells can help you out there a bit. Still a class that has been nerfed so Archanist can shine brighter

[Sugram22]

there are like heavy attack build for it, best with lightning staff, cause good heals guy solod world boss no power boost potions, using skills only to heal and summon help and apply status effects, most sustainable build, this is good in solo pve and in pvp with little changes, paste on what i have seen

u can do good DPS with Necro but only if u use other skills not class skills, class skills for support

[Sugram22]

its better in solo pve and in pvp with right build, seen pvp necros, so tanky but can kill u unless they fight some1 as tanky as they are

i don't think ppl will accsept u in trials and stuff unless ur necro healer, u don't need build for heal just gear

Necro is trash tier in almost any king of content and especialy at DPS. Just skip.

Warden was nerfed after 2 years. Necro is nerfed as 2 years passed. Even if you start an arcanist do not count on it to last so long.
