Concept Art of Asura Necromancer
Necrophiliacs rejoice! The Necromancer specialist site has just released an article discussing in detail the necromancer elite skill “Lich Form”. One of Sardu’s conclusions:
It amazes me just how much a single elite can open up a whole new layer of depth in combat, but ArenaNet definitely proved just how powerful elites in Guild Wars 2 will be. Think of it this way – Lich Form offers necros the equivalent of a third weapon set to use in combat, albeit on a longer recharge than normal weapon swaps.

The second part of the interview with Colin Johanson at Necrobator has posted.
The second part covers in-depth analysis of play-styles for the necromancer as well as interesting tid-bids on exploration and social gameplay in GW2. Although not entirely new, the part that got me most excited was:
All of those have passages that lead out in different directions, and there are little secret passages that you can discover that get you out of that area, other than the main road. And we try to do that everywhere in the game so there are always different options and places you can explore. Then we try to take dynamic events and layer them into those little hidden areas. So if you take one of those back paths and you’re going down it, you might find something back there that no player has ever seen before and kick off a dynamic event because you went down this little back area.
Thanks goes to RealMehTis for pointing out that the second part of the interview had been posted!

Necro-philiacs rejoice! Starting up my GW2 news round searches again, I found this very interesting interview (courtesy of Google search, but the interview has also been found on Guru).
It’s a very interesting interview covering topics from skills, to versatility of play-styles, to synergy and a brief discussion of the trait system – all with a very necromancer-centric approach as you might have guessed from the name of the website.

The game play is fast paced and fun with cool downs that give you a decent variety of spells and don?Eurot make you feel limited because everything takes a few minutes to return. I at least felt like I had a solid arsenal of spells and attacks for each opponent without having to wait for them. For the Necromancer, the minions were great as well. They were controllable and saved my Charr hide a few times.
Go check out the new Necromancer reveal on the main site now!
Some cool features
-Minion skills become a different skill once you summon them.
-Necros can cause fear!
-Death shroud is a second state in which you get different skills, it is automatically activated when downed but can be triggered at will.
-Necros can dual-wield daggers.
And so much more!
