I can't compare PvP to WoW since I haven't played WoW. But Necros are a pretty fun class. Just remember GW2 is more action oriented, you move more, you dodge, you jump, etc. So you'll be on your toes a lot of the time.
Pros:
- Excels in WvW, and does well in an organized PvP group
- High health pool, coupled with death shroud (Your unique class mechanic) Makes you innately tanky
- Can pressure with conditions (Bleeds, poison, cripple etc)
- Can convert the enemy's boons into conditions
- Has pretty good physical damage as well (Every class can do a bit of everything, no trinity in this game)
Cons:
- No mobility
- Very bad in things like dungeon groups/PvE (General PvE is fine where you provide damage, but as for bringing utility to the group, there is little to none)
- Although you have a high health pool, you don't have much sustain/protection (Stability, imminities, blinks/teleports etc.) so you can be focused down quite easily
I could be missing some things, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, or even stop by my twitch channel where I stream Necro stuffs often
Also if you're interested in some gameplay, this is my latest WvW Roaming (Essentially Open World PvP) Montage
