A lot of necro's survivability also has much to do with utilizing the death shroud as well.
Another reason why staff is so powerful (possibly overpowered).

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Yeah I used death shroud a fair amount for some extra health in a tight spot, usually gives you the time to gain some distance and them drop marks and such.
Sadly I didnt get to the lv on the necro to be able to swap weapons lol, was a bit limited in my playtime.
As much as I loved the guardian I think at the moment the Theif is looking like it will be my main, it was just fun as to play and had some really cool things it could do.

Agreed. One of the biggest reasons Fee-to-Play games appeal to me is that there is no incentive towards bloating the game to artificially extend playtime.
People complain that single-player games are getting too short nowadays, but they fail to understand that those games are still REALLY FUN for those 6-10hr.
All the design decisions in GW2 described are a consequence of no subscription fees. Instant travel for a minor fee replaces boring long-term travel. Participation-based looting and resource gathering replaces competition-based looting/gathering.

As an aside, the article implies that there is more than one beta weekend coming up...
...damn...

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

According to the FB page, this test is because of issues that the European servers suffered near the end of the last beta event, so that might be why it's timed perfectly for the UK and other european nations, as well as why it's short.

Where is everyone planning on playing? I got like 3 disparate groups of friends that are getting in on this, consolidating servers seems like a smart call.
European and US servers seem to be pretty much exactly the same for lag so currently the official guild server is Longeye's Ledge, up for change though.
Yeah that's why I'd like to keep everyone on one server if possible...
We can do a vote for what server is the official guild one? As I said NA/EU servers seem to be indistinguishable for lag so it doesn't really matter what we pick.
