I bet POPULARITY wise, monks are up there. But most people when first starting don't want to play a healer. They want to kill stuff (not realizing a Monk is good at that too).

Yeah, that would be my guess too. I think most people have a monk - but that would be because of the prevalence of monks in farming. I highly doubt everyone creates a monk so they can go play healer.

I remember when I first started-- the good ol' days. I created a Canthan mesmer. xD

Sin was my first...still my main too =P

Ranger. Ended up deleting him to make a monk very early in the 55 craze.

OP: People didn't realize just how critical monks were back then, and the initial distribution of players in Diablo (Warrior, Rogue, Sorcerer) was similar to the GW distribution.

My first was a ranger back in beta, as well as around prophecies but eventually my mesmer became my main.

My first was a mesmer in proph. Found it pretty hard to start off with but managed to get the hang ofit. My mes is my main character too^^.

My first was my necro. I like necros even though at that time, they were not popular, wammos and ele nukers were the trend then and soul reaping was laughed at for being a useless attribute line (also no SR skills then).

Only made a monk to earn extra gold from desperate PUGs, due to the absence of the heroes and Alesia sucks even more than now. The 55 build was not even invented yet at that time.

My first character ever was a Ranger. Rangers were my firsties twice, but I oftentimes gave up and deleted them before I got really far with them (e.g., out of Post-Searing Ascalon). When I actually started to try and play through the game for realz, I made a Warrior and she became my main.

draxynnic · Jul 29, 2009, 04:56 AM // 04:56

Monk, but back then elementalists didn't exist, and mesmers only had 3 or so skills and could only be taken as a secondary profession. First character post-release was a Mesmer, who is still my main (although I do have a character of each profession.)

Are you still together?

Arachnephobia · Jul 29, 2009, 05:05 AM // 05:05

Elementalist was my first, and is my main character. I love the profession.

The second was a necromancer.

my necromancer has very nice name (according to me) Whats is yours that made you not play it anymore?

GWfan#1 · Jul 29, 2009, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Ranger was my first back when proph came out. still my main char and still my fav class

shoyon456 · Jul 29, 2009, 06:56 AM // 06:56

First was ele. It's still up there as a favorite class of mine, but the Dervish is THE favorite now.

And just to clarify, I don't enjoy playing as ele with all the new playstyles and elites for them. I like the oldschool echo MS nuker type thing.

Necro here but War ended up as main

Gennadios · Jul 29, 2009, 08:05 AM // 08:05

My first was a warr. Completed every campaign with him, and decided to make a Paragon because I read they were the easiest to get Legendary Survivor on (high armor support = low priority.)

Burned through 8 paras trying to get the title, finally pulled it off, and never looked back. Have also been spending a great deal of time on my Rit lately though. Now that the paragon has just about everything maxed there's not much incentive to bring him out for the day to day guild activities.

Necromancer

Necromancer.

Was neglected for a long time while I played my second character, Mesmer and third, Elementalist.

Went back to my necro after my mesmer "discovered" (and used, was necro secondary) the elite Spiteful Spirit (was early Prophecies days, just fell in love with that spell)

Have one of each profession now, but those 3 are still going strong after 4 years - my Necro is my main (original and best

)

Solas · Jul 29, 2009, 12:54 PM // 12:54

Frist toon was a wa/mo
2 days alter I made an elementalist stuck with it till this day.
Any other games I play I sue the ele or closest thing to it
WoW Mage
Lotro Beast master etc.

Jarot · Jul 29, 2009, 01:52 PM // 13:52

Mesmer in my very early days of Prophecy. Thought that was my end-all toon. Then moved to Ranger in Factions. Fell in love with it until ... Nightfall brought out the Dervish in me. Lately I've been tinkering with a Ritualist. When I want to play aggressively, I'll load up the Dervish. If I wanna backline, then I'll sit back and spiritspam with the Ritualist.

Garreth MacLeod · Jul 29, 2009, 02:04 PM // 14:04

Ranger, same as the last poll. Decided after a couple weeks I wanted to use the name I use in other gaming, sooo deleted him and made a new ranger. Although I enjoy playing the other professions as well.
