Oh, and when my friend(Who started when I did) and I found out about 55 Monks, we thought of them as gods lol.

Lol, not sure why you'd need it on a Mesmer, Fast Casting is pretty useless in PvE on a 1/4th cast spell!

Back on 2005 [Shield of Regeneration] used to cast in several seconds IIRC. For me it was the elite version of Healing Breeze which was a must in my skill bar at that time xD I did not really trusted Alesia to keep me alive.

Strange, in the early days mindless stuff was fun.

Oh, man, I loved it back in the day. Before rits came out, I used it on my warrior to farm grawls in Whitman's Folly.

50k Superior Vigors ftw!

My necro was my first char and I read about Spiteful Spirit so that was the first. Then I changed to a Ranger and heard about the Splinter Barrage so Barrage was my next one.

I used to run grenth balance all the time because I sucked with agro and alesia... was the object of all the rants. It saved me a bunch of time until I swapped to OoB for blood spiking (yeah I still sucked but it's not like we had a lot of good elites and I didn't feel like spamming SS)

Because back then the mindless grinding was rewarding. Remember the days when you got a gold and was like omg a gold! now days its like "sigh, another gold for the merch"

My fav elite was OoB. Practically infinite energy for my blood build. That build sucked balls. I then found the power of SS, and never went back.

GourangaPizza · Jun 05, 2008, 05:53 PM // 17:53

[skill]Quick Shot[/skill]. Back then machine gun Ranger was quite epic before Nightfall was released.

**cosyfiep** · Jun 05, 2008, 05:53 PM // 17:53

my ele loved water trident (got it just about the time the nerfed fire storm) and then
spiteful spirit!!! still in use on my necro today.

Steboy93 · Jun 05, 2008, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Ahh, back in the day I loved Hundered Blades, I thought I was a killing machine. Good times...

Arlan · Jun 05, 2008, 05:58 PM // 17:58

[Shield Of Regeneration] - which i still roll out every now and again for a laugh.

alen · Jun 05, 2008, 06:30 PM // 18:30

Life transfer. On a ranger. Also Mark of Protection.

NoXiFy · Jun 05, 2008, 06:56 PM // 18:56

[lod] lod was my only elite... caught it on my necro. xD

Yawgmoth · Jun 05, 2008, 07:27 PM // 19:27

I've used many elites in the beta times but it was the first one I capped after release - [Ether Renewal] Ether Renewal, which I've instantly fell in 'love' with. I used it almost everywhere, as the elite in various ele builds (in PvE, it was months before E/Mo imbasmiters). It was superpowerful when it lasted 10(+20%) seconds and gave 4 ene per enchant, restored a full mana bar thanks to spammable skills (I always had at least one).
It was the number 1 favorite elite of mine, for a long time.

ah the noob times

Then after nerf (7sec and +3ene) I still used it in various solofarm builds, even used it in one build in 2007, until LS update when solofarming became pointless and never used it since then...

...untill now. When I saw the megabuff update notes my jaw literally dropped, and remained this way for quite a while.

It would be very playable at a fixed duration of 10, like in the old days, they went way too far with it.

Knowing well what this skill can do I now demand a mighty nerf for it (and for some other obviously imba PvE skills)

Saborath Gilgalad · Jun 05, 2008, 07:44 PM // 19:44

[barrage] on my Ranger. Was so happy when I first capped it in the Iron Mines of Moladune mission 3 years ago.

Šiljo · Jun 05, 2008, 07:45 PM // 19:45

[energy drain] on my MM
capped it on Titan Source
my 1st elite ever!

Bryant Again · Jun 05, 2008, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Battle Rage was damned fun back in the day. I'm surprised I got so far with it and Mending on my bar...
