Yeah, I've only done the Saul mission (had to go to work, bleh), but it was kinda long and tough at the end, there. I had to do it twice. What I learned:
1) Using the ward and retreat shout at about the same time is a great idea when everyone's under hard fire and overextended - it heals them as they run back to you, then they get healed further while in the ward.
2) Keep Mantra of Inscriptions up at all times and spam that elite signet at every chance on balled-up mobs. The other signets are better used on specific targets; Castigation and Bane on warriors, Unnatural on minions and spirits, you get the idea.
3) Spectral Agony is best used on bosses and the charr beasts, or whatever they're called - the damn fire ele monsters... just ouch on those.
4) The Mursaat don't move from the middle, btw, so when you spread out to avoid getting nuked, they will still be hit. However, they can pretty much hold their own. Never noticed any of them dying.
EDIT:
Very true, gotta love that!

Besides the obvious Turai Ossa ending, I'm pretty impressed with all of the cutscenes. Plenty of character motions that I don't remember seeing in any previous cutscenes in Guild Wars.

I think some of this needs clarification, at least anet's misleading release notes

i really hate doing the -img command, especially cause im still a youngin and parents get pissed when i leave the computer on to long, + sometimes turns internet off randomly... which really really sux when right as soon as u leave it turns off... that really sux. i was exagerating on the weeks part...well bearly... also, everyone in my household uses the same dlup connection, including for fax and telephone so... there presents some problems, especially when parents get really paranoid at not getting the "calls" at night ect...complications ftl.

I think the biggest gip is that all reward weapons are customized. One thing I'd prefer is being able to is have the weapons customized to ACCOUNT instead of player. I got a sweet set of Undead Daggers for my sin while on my Necro, then found they were already customized to my necro. Wasn't happy about that.

A little suggestion: The NPCs in fall back to player position when you cast skill number 8 on Saul's skillbar (I forget the name of it at the moment). Add this feature to all existing Wards, so our heroes and henchmen STAY in them!

Just waiting on Gaile's word of intentional repetition or not...

YES! You can repeat the missions endlessly. You get a CHARACTER customized reward book every time. So your missions aren't going to be useless after a few runs, and you don't need to worry about picking the wrong thing as a reward really.
The ones that are limited are BONUS reward books (for fulfilling special objectives), that you get an account customized book for only 1 time per bonus completion. This is a nice extra, even though really you don't need at all... but it's the only thing that has limitation rules.
