When you hit level 30 use the Asura Gate in the east of Divinity's Reach to go to a human settlement in Ascalon built by a hero from GW1.
Humans and Charr trying to maintain a fragile peace in the area is a whole lot more interesting than fighting silly ponies over and over again.
The human story line is generally considered the most boring one.
how u could die as necro? minion spam and staff + anything but dagger / horn helps a ton drain health swiftness...
thief is worse until u fully open all the traits in cant remember the line but the last trait one has a selfheal on crits or something like that
Of course going in close without dying takes a bit of practice but if you master both 2 pistols and 2 daggers you will be doing great.
Usually, I grind down the HP a bit with my twin revolvers, then I use a steal and when I am next to them I start out with a lotus petal and start slashing away. The shadow-jump is nice as well when you need to get to a mob or player you fight against fast. Once my initiative is down to zero I dodge out and switch back to pistols for a while.
There is 2 basic keys to playing thief: Movement (never stand still, time your dodges) and knowing when to switch between melee and ranged. And of course if anyone is fool enough to turn their back on you, stick your daggers in it. The pistols are best when you kite around mobs, when you solo bosses or when you are in a zerg (hard to even tag anything with daggers there).
And don't forget to slow the opponents speed with the pistol.
I love the thief, one of the best MMO classes I seen.
Later on is the Daredevil specc pretty good.
The theifs weakest point is that it have few interrupts and that if anything can pound you for a short while you will die. If you want some extra toughness at time a norn thief with the wolf elite skill allow you to Hulk smash and take some punishment at times while give you interrupts...
Always have the speed sigil equipped unless you have a full set of traveler runes in your armor.
The AoE stealth is also very useful, you can use it to get downed players up, open chects or get skillpoints with opponents around you or just to get a backstab and the vampiric heal for a few seconds.
I also always have a sigil to take away conditions, getting crippled or stunned in battle gets leathal otherwise.
Well, that is my basic advice at least, great class that takes a little training to master but well worth it.
In comparison, the necro.. especially for PvE is kind of a powerhouse, especially at max level. Throw in minions, and you can usually take on large groups without breaking a sweat.
Even at the low levels the early tier minions just take aggro off you. Staff can give you extraordinary range and melee protection.
I mean.. I haven't really played much since I dropped after HoT but, necros are very strong.
If it's a good game I'll max out all the classes I like and if it's a really good game I'll max out all of them. I find this good with games that rotate nerfs with characters. I can just put the heavily nerfed ones on the shelf until they get buffed again, or if a want a challenge that day I can play the harder alt.
Also once you make it to the main city you can port to any races starter area and level from there. If you don't like the human starter area, port to another.

I didn't comment on this part but I assume that the system sent him off with an axe as reward.
It's an ok-ish weapon for a starter but it doesn't even remotely scratch a necro's potential.
On a side note... I think I wanna log in and play a bit. See how Engineer has changed.. that was always my favorite.
*edit* oh yeah I forgot you get the healing minion too. Between the two different minions you should be good to go way past 20 without dying. Unless.. you're really not careful.
Not big on making videos anymore, but I'm sure they has to be some out there.
More, GW2 will not use DirectX 11/12 in foreseeable future, cause the game won't gain much performance from API switch, more on this thing here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3ajnso/bad_optimalization_in_gw2/csdnn3n/
TL;DR: GW2 bottleneck is from processing that happen in main thread. ANet has done (and still doing) some efforts to move many processes into other threads to optimize GW2 on multicore CPU.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
Glad you are having fun.
Personally I didn't like that event much when it was popular cause 150 people chasing after the anomaly would create some severe lagspikes for my limited connection.
Since you seem to like big scale events check out the World Boss Timer:
http://dulfy.net/2014/04/23/event-timer/
You should be able to do some of the lower level bosses such as the Jungle Wurm, Fire Elemental and Shadow Behemoth.
Click on the "Nearest Waypoint" link and paste it into your game to see where to find the bosses.
Anet is desperately trying to make power builds for Necros more appealing but the truth is..
Scepter Necro has probably the highest condition damage in the game so it feels like a natural choice.
