So, does classic Necro suck at PvP or is it me/the build I am using?
Just switched to necro to build up my FSP in it, and in terms of WG, felt like it was pretty decent.
Just done some CG (4 duels and one 2v2), and I have felt slow and weak.
3 times I lost to hellfire demon build, which I have no hope for as simply do not have the ability to hit first turn, or resond fast enough to the multiple stacks
I have gone for a balanced range of stats, though should I go pure attack for better response to magic enemies (though then reckon I will get wrecked by any full attack rushers).
I cannot see a good set up that will have a credible chance against many.
Any suggestions? | https://daily.heroeswm.ru/gt/balance/lvl/20/l/1
The link above gives the faction balance stats for duels at CL 20 over the past 2 months.
Most players on CL20, I assume, auto duels with mirror. There is no obligation to do so though, its just a time/effort saving scheme.
Hellfire Demons make up the largest chunk of enemies followed by Fury Barb.
Classic necro will pretty much almost always lose to Hellfire unless appas get extremely lucky and eat several hellfire procs on misses to such an extent that the demon runs out of mana. I don't have much to say about FB, the builds vary.
Classic Necro also suffers against chaos casters due to lack of morale and rush capability.
The only decent matchups I can think of for Classic Necro in 2v2 are rusher elves (expert def does a lot as does having over 500 skeletons), both knights, UN possibly, classic barbs, Dark Demons, maybe classic dwarf.
I would suggest swapping the bow for cloak and Avoidance for Barrier as the 20% magic shield is great against debuffs in mixed. | Thanks for the info, it doesn;t look great for necro against many oppositions, looks like I will be losing more than I win.
I did manage to beat a demon,

Granted it was only because they had the stats for hellfire build, but the wrong talent setup.
That makes 5 from 6 duels against what would have been hellfire demon.
Looks like the CG duel strategy is either hellfire demon, or use a counter setup | | Hellfire demon is extremely popular in 1v1. I was looking at the link Santremas shared, and the second most popular faction is classic elf which has pvp data that is less than 1/5th of classic demon at your level. I do know that 1v1 is teeming with hellfire demons but to realize that it's ahead by that extent surprised me. | | I meant fury barb as second most popular, not classic elf my bad. I just mistyped classic elf because that's mainly why I opened the link. | | so much for mini balance lol |
