Mo/R

yeah, I decided "hey, i can heal, AND attack from range" man, that was a smart move.. if i remember, my skillbar was something like:

Healing breeze
Mending (to counteract the 1/-1 vamp mod i had on my bow..thought it was a max mod xD)
orison of healing
Heal Other
Power Shot
Kindle arrows
Dual shot
Rebirth (and aye, used mid-battle, although, with that bad a bar, wouldn't make much difference :P)

I actually managed to get to the crystal desert before anyone actually said anything about it. >_>

W/E

I thought using fire magic + swords was a good idea to fight off big mobs. (Bad idea

)

N/W

Warrior secondary so I could have healing signet and a shield. lol

Me too!

Actually in presear, N/W was pretty awesome, I had no idea that the armor would eventually ding me until I excitedly told some GW playing friends that I was N/W and they gave me this look then explained that was bad. But it was so much fun! I ended up remaking Elinora to be N/Me because I wasn't all THAT far in.

E/W because I was determined to be different. I thought that using the elements was an awesome concept and that nobody else would combine ele and Warrior skills. I was a strict Water user because I knew everyone would choose Fire.

Swift Thief · Nov 27, 2007, 01:15 AM // 01:15

A/E

I kept using random stuff like daggers with fire storm, flare, deep freeze, and stoning. Very bad build. I kept using off-hands and duals cause I didn't know there was a combo rule and I kept complaining that "ArenaNet shipped a broken game."

Biostem · Nov 27, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

I went w/ a Wa/Mo first - I know, original, but good armor plus self healing and buffs is a natural combo. I also really like the sword, shield, and warrior armor skins.

Curse You · Nov 27, 2007, 01:39 AM // 01:39

N/Mo. Yes, I choose that combo from the start and haven't changed it since.

Although, when I started out I used a mix of Blood and Death as well as some Smiting. I focused on Blood for damage and used Death for summoning minions, which I used mainly as meat shields and mobile energy.

Here's the oldest shot I can find of it. My necromancer was level 15 at the time.

W/N

Putrid Explosion!

Windstriker · Nov 27, 2007, 02:13 AM // 02:13

R/Mo was my first ever combination that I went with and boy did I pay for that. I think on the last mission of Prophecies, I was forced into more of a Monk position then Ranger but at least the team beat the mission and I somehow helped keep them alive.

darkknightkain · Nov 27, 2007, 02:18 AM // 02:18

W/E. I got out of Searing with the following "build".
[skill]Frenzy[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Fire storm[/skill] ...forgot the rest, then [skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Hamstorm without the Ham part. The good old days

wow, was that like when the game just came out? the interface all look different.... and i notice you share 2 gold with party members... rofl, i don't remember 2 gold ever, except in pre-searing. Henchmen has no name yet!!

Alex Morningstar · Nov 27, 2007, 03:40 AM // 03:40

First character I settled on was a Monk with a sword. Must have been the inner wammo in me.

That was during the second or third beta event, long before the official release of the first game, back then gold was like... well, think of it like money in 1900 compared to 2000 in the real world, the same kind of thing happened to GW

Infact that was before Pre-Searing even existed!

I think we should all blame the Prophecies box:

A Deadly Combination

Strike with a Hamstring attack to cripple your fleeing opponent, then rain fire down upon him as he slowly limps away.

Morgenstern · Nov 27, 2007, 04:46 AM // 04:46

R/N

The good old Pet/Touch combo

biofrog · Nov 27, 2007, 05:03 AM // 05:03

Ele/Ranger

The thought of traveling with a 'familiar' was, and still is, always appealing. Nothing like having a little buddy helping you on your way.

Not many around of us at the beginning, but it has always been a pretty good combination. Oh, also strictly NON-fire ele. Air was my first choice with earth a close second.

Still is my most fun and played character.

xshadowwolfx · Nov 27, 2007, 05:10 AM // 05:10

R/E Read the handbook and fell in love with the idea of shooting arrows...magical burning arrows while cuddling a pet and calling down fire from the heavens....I lol at myself now.

I still remember asking my Guild whether or not I should run meteor shower on my ranger because it was awesome, but I could only use it once. =)
