No one profession is really stronger than any other profession. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. This creates a balance in the game.

But a necromancer is well equipped to zip through most of the game without severe worries. They are always welcome as they can supply a minion army or energy recharge or a nice set of hexes.

And check out the Necro subforum in our Campfire section below for information on the basics of playing necro.

Both are strong. In NM the ele is stronger and in HM the necro is stronger IMO, but both do well reguardless of NM or HM. If you are looking to get into groups then either one will work. If you are looking to farm then you should go with an ele over the necro, ele's are more versitile when it comes to solo farming. You can't go wrong with either, I prefer ele but that is just me.

necro's are extremely useful. can do hexes, minions, n/rt healing, a lot of variety. ele tends to be click, click boom. at least this is the case in PvE. not to mention necro e-management allows for constant casting and the ability to fight in prolonged battles.

Eles are harder to play in general, necromancers would be easier to play (you get pretty much unlimited energy) and their ability to not have to find big groups of enemies + nuke, watch for melee & blind, you just wait to gain energy then build up some minions. Obviously there are more advanced ways to playing as a necromancer, but an MM is sure more effective compared to a flare spammer.
