To Keep: The Ritualist or the Necromancer?
pamelf
Necro. Better to play, more versatile, and people will actually take you on their team.

I dont think any other class can offer so much variety of builds that covers from corpse control to energy management. Oh btw, if you wanna use necro for damage, the skills are based on life stealing and degen, which is mostly armor ignoring.
Blood: Degen, Life stealing(armor ignoring), Orders(popular), Spoil Victor(55 monk tank shiro, sv+ss+empathy= gg, popular), BiP/Br(popular), Wells(not popular).
Curse: SS(popular), anti melee + degen + condition(popular), caster interrupts(Spinal Shivers, popular), wells, energy degen.
Death: MMs(popular), corpse control.

/Vote rit, they're very versatile and fun to play (for me at least) and can rival the dmg of eles , i.e. dmg spirits w/ painful bond/channeling spells, can interupt like a mesmer, i.e. wanderlust kds and dissonance? i think, and can also heal as well if not better than a monk. Also, you get to look cool and unique as being one of the only people in town with a Rt/ over their head instead of W/, R/, D/,or A/.

Keep the necromancer. It's a lot more versatile, especially if you exploit soul reaping (which is a much better primary attribute than the ritualist's).

/vote necro.
its FUN to play and since you have a mesmer you'll be able to mix it up with the skills you have.

Eh rits and spirits are fun but necros are better 
Drop the derv, their armor is limited and a Critical scythe sin outdamages them

Play the necro, keep the others to play when you're bored.
Don't forget about heroes. All the skills you pick up as a necro can be used on all your other chars' heroes, and a necro hero (or two) is pretty powerful with all the right skills. Eles, monks, and necros are the three most popular heroes for a reason.

Rits have very good looking armor, but part from that necro all the way!
The necro primary attribute is something you need to look an eye out for, it's much better than the primary attribute of the rit. (yay 3sec longer weapon spells o.0)

Virulence + Epidemic?
It is a whole other modus operandum for a Death Necro... and works very well with other condition-applying classes (Searing Flames Eles for Burning and Sins for Bleeding and Deep Wound, for instance).
Personally, I have stuck the Virulence + Epidemic combo on Olias AS Minion Master... with Shamblers for bleeding (and Death Nova of course)... and the devastation caused is truly alarming.
Yeah.... there are many options for Necros.... and much call for them.
.... But I finally levelled my Rit up to 20 for a reason, and I plan on making MUCH more use of her from now on.
(Besides... some of the tougher bosses in the game are Ritualists.)
I still say Ditch the Dervish if any.

Im more curious as to why you cant just keep them? are they not paying the rent, or putting the trash out?
If you havent got time to play other chars, then you musnt need the space so why delete them!

N/Mo= Healing or Prot/Farming N/Rt= Spirit Spammer/Healer N/Me= Hexer N/A= Deadly Arts and a good amount of Farming builds N/W= not many options at all N/E= Lots of E management N/D= Not many options N/P= Shouts etc N/R= A few good RA/Farming builds The Necro has like 2 secondaries that does not really add alot, but the other professions as secondaries can be very amazing. The Ritualist is not too fun in PvE from my experience, attempted to make 3 deleted each one, in love with the necro. |
To the OP why don't you just use them all as mules like most do.That would be the logical choice.

Because Age, unlike most, if I'm going to create something (whether it's a garden or a computer AI) I'm going to do it right!
However, they will be kept (*edit* but not as MULES unless it relates to their profession). I seem to forget their first birthday should be coming around soon, and my Ritualist in question birthday is on Samhain.
Well, I highly appreicate all posts from these members and continue to encourage continuing posting here with other information. Due to the high amount of posts in this thread (that I honestly thought would barely reach a full page), it seems I'm not the only one with such an interest.
So, for others sake, please continue. I've made my choice

Necros are gonna be nerfed again, you know it. Go with Rit, they're bound to buff them again eventually.

All signs point to no.

They're all good, but the most useful and versatile class in your list is definitely the necro.

For fun, I'm actually playing a Rit now and plan to make a second (female) Necro for Halloween.
For these two, I'm primarily interested in armor, the Norn Male Ritualist and the Vabbian Female Necro (although I'll have to wait for gem prices to go down some more before I can afford it!)
Slightly off topic, but whats a good secondary for Rit? I was thinking Ranger for extra spirits (like Bramble) and a pet, but maybe others have better suggestions?

Keep the rit because it is like your monk and el, keep the dervish because it is something different than a caster.
Keep the necro... as a mule.

Keep the necro. They're fun. Thing is, why are you asking us? Better yet, keep both and make them both mules. I need space these days more than I need versatility.
