Necromancers tear up PvE due to their imba energy management. Both can farm well; 55 Necro, SV Necro, or 330 hp Rit. Necromancers can play a rit just as good as a rit, so I'd go with necromancer. But the Ritualist armor is so pretty! So go with a Necro unless you need pretty armor.

Yeah i play rit pretty much cus of all the cool armor.

Necro's are probably better but rit vabbian in sky blue is unbeatable imo .

Necro's can run any Rt build not focused on spawning just as well as a Rt primary and have even more energy to fuel them.

Rt's have some of the coolest armours and animations though

A good way to choose is to compare a Rt minion bomber with a necro MM and choose which you prefer i guess. I personally prefer Rt for hybrid builds that have access to utility from other professions such as expel hexes or various monk hex removals.

Necro > PvE

*Imba energy management
*AoE weakness says gg melee
*Minion Bombers make mobs kerslode
*AP Curses Necro also makes mobs kerslode

Me thinks necro is your best choice

Thought minion bombers were best as rt/n for [explosive growth]?

But everything else you said /agree.

I do not know what profession is more fun to play for you, but especially if your are playing with NPCs, I would say take the Necro.

Besides the mentioned advantages, Ritualists cast their most powerful spells indirectly, which makes controlling your henchies often a bit more cumbersome than with a Necro.

But everything else you said /agree. Rt/N bombers ae better for humans. Necro primary bombers are better for heroes... youll never be able to target as fast or as well as livia.

Necro is more powerful; Ritualist will make you a better player

Necro all the way.

Those Rt MMs are silly. Trust me, I tried. Energy is wholly dependent on your enchants and once you get stripped, game over.

Necros win at PvE. It's a proven fact.

Thing is that heros can run the necro build just as good if not better than most regular people.

Heros rely on IA, Players rely on experience. Experience will always win over IA. However things like applying and keeping a enchants on minions IA will most likely always win
