Thanks for all the replies, they've been interesting to read and I've been doing more looking around in the mean time. So far Staff Mirage seems good, as well as bear bow and apparently shortbow renegade? The responses on the video seem to say that the renegade took some nerfs and the build may not really function anymore but I wouldn't know first hand. I definitely agree with people saying ranged is easier, and condi seems to be easier to play from my limited experiments so far (exception being ranger, they're really easy for killing champs but I got swarmed under pretty bad with too many enemies). I guess for necro I would need to stay ranged rather than do GS Reaper but it's not like I've been able to mess around with it, I have nobody high enough to even be reaper yet. Seriously, thank you all for the advice. I'm currently playing just a little bit with a staff mesmer, just to see if I like it, while reading all these. It's a lot to take in :bleep_bloop:
