I started playing about a year and a half ago. I read that mesmers were the hardest and most complex, so I chose that as my first profession.

My second character was a monk. Just because I wanted to go from one opposite to the other, where no one wanted you in a party to where everyone wanted you in a party. I also had a little payback. "Invite that mesmer or I leave".

Third, warrior, fourth ritualist, fifth dervish, sixth ranger.

In all my RPGs and MMos I try the warrior (paladdin type) class first. So that was my first choice. Although I'm glad I have since tried all of the others as I love what they all have to offer and the diversity within

Ranger.

Ranged attacks, knowledge of wilderness and the ability to have a pet. Done deal.

Yichi · Apr 19, 2007, 03:40 PM // 15:40

I've always been good with casters, so my first char was an Elementalist. I later deleted her for a Monk to which i still have to this day. I later made 3 different warriors, 3 different rangers, 2 mesmers, 2 eles, 2 sins, a dervish, and a necro.

Right now I have a copy of my origional monk (never let anyone know your account, as my little cousing salvaged and borrowed stuff and i had to start over), a warrior, a ranger, a sin, a dervish, and now working on another ele.

Well if there were more players like you then my mesmer wouldn't need to face deletion.

My first characters was a wammo...I mean warrior...just wanted to learn the game and enjoy it then choose a profession that best fits my playstyle.
1st warrior, 2nd mesmer(RIP), 3rd necromancer,4th monk(also RIP accidental deletion when making a deleting a pvp monk w/similar name) 5th ritualist(fav), 6th assassin, 7th paragon, 8th dervish
this is the order of the profession from creation.(PVE list)

**cosyfiep** · Apr 19, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

I have always played magic users in most games so picking ele wasnt a tough choice.....my second choice was mesmer followed closely by necro......and lastly a monk (my guildee kept at me about why there were never monks around so I made one!)
These are still my favorite characters to play---to date I have 3 eles, 3 mesmers, 3 monks and 2 necros (dont like the character creation options for them).....followed by 2 rits! Casters are my choice of characters, I dont do much melee though I do have 1 ranger and 1 paragon (ugh).

Narcism · Apr 19, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

I wanted a character that could farm and be good in pve. and wanted to unlocked mesmer skills (my favorite class at the time)

w/me

Hobbs · Apr 19, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I first made a necro because they look dark and sinister, I like that. Then I made a warrior because I liked the skins of the weapons I saw. When I reached Thunderhead Keep I saw all these "LF Monk to go!!" messages and so I made a monk.

Diablo™ · Apr 19, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I saw her on the cover

and I was sold, not only the game but the profession as well.

Dj Tano · Apr 19, 2007, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Back in the day the character making screen was completely different.

You basically had the choice of class on the left side, the model in the middle, and the various options on the right.

Since it was much faster to just see the various classes and options as a model, i started comparing the looks of them.

I didnt know much about the class itself, but i loved the model, so i started a monk!

Whilst ive deleted around 4 monks by now, they all looked like my original one (except for hair color)...

ensoriki · Apr 19, 2007, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Started an Ele First if I remember got bored deleted and made a ranger, kept ranger to level 10 and left it. Made another ele. got Bored

Didn't touch GW for like 5 months. Assassin came, fell in love.

Aphraelyn · Apr 19, 2007, 04:18 PM // 16:18

I think I made a monk first because I've always liked supporting people....To date, I've completed all 3 campaigns with my monk only >_> I get bored of the rest after I get halfway =X!

Dark-NighT · Apr 19, 2007, 04:24 PM // 16:24

I took a necro as first char, i read something about exploiting body's and blood magic and followed up on that. Today still one of my favorite characters

prism2525 · Apr 19, 2007, 04:34 PM // 16:34

As I posted earlier on, I'm a born elementalist. however since every one here is stating all his/her chars ever...

second was a female war... was crap at it and kept dying (in pre-searing i might add) and busted her. Then I made another male with the same name.. W/Mo total ownage.

Then I made a ranger and a monk, all pve, i had only 4 slots (extras didn't exist yet) and all of them full. I needed to create a PvP char for something, so I blasted the monk, lvl 20, ascended and all...

Blasted the Ranger as well and made a necro.... and another necro which took place the 1st one when i had the extra slots...

Then remade my monk which is my farmer...

Remade my ranger like 10+ times as i kept dying and i WANTED the survivor title (which i have now

)...

Made an assassin which i stopped playing due to me getting annoyed that she would die with 2 hits...

NF came out, and I made a dervish. Full runes and armor and everthing but then warped back to my ele...

started a rit and paragon which are still @ lvl 1-3...

Made a mesmer which is still in pre-searing...

Now i still have an empty slot solely for PvP...

That's all folks

Came into guild wars with the misconception that it was just a very pretty cookie-cutter MMO with Diablo influences. Thought I'd make a paladin character so i went W/Mo. Once I cleared up my perception of the game and started to understand it I really got into the Ranger for its versatility and with the addition of Factions I've found the Assassin to be ridiculously fun.

noname4me · Apr 19, 2007, 05:38 PM // 17:38

My first one was a Warrior, simply because I wanted to play an easy to learn class and one that isnt going to be extremly critical to the victory of my team.
Next was Ele which I like far more.

Sir Skullcrasher · Apr 19, 2007, 05:48 PM // 17:48

I picked warrior because that is how I rolled in Diablo 2!!

Mord Sith Reyna · Apr 19, 2007, 05:57 PM // 17:57

I made a ranger/ele trying to model him after Richard Rahl from the Sword of Truth series. I played him to about level 8ish and got impatient with the low amount of damage he was doing. Sooooooo...

I created the most stereotypical WHAMMO (yes... mending, smites, the whole 9 yards...) which in fact turned out to be my real first character.

I've since learned the errors of being a n00b.

Kryth · Apr 19, 2007, 06:15 PM // 18:15

When I played GW in the WPE (prophecies WPE ofc) I made a ranger. I'm kinda the ranger guy but it was just a test weekend so I was just rolling thru the game to see what it looked like.

By the time the game came out I had a whole different perspective because out of the core 6 classes only 1 of them stood out, which was Necromancer (yes not Mesmer). After looking at the skill listings on the web I realized that Necromancer was the only class that couldn't be stereotyped. (Warrior: Melee hitter - Ranger: Ranged Hitter - Monk: Healer - Ele: Elemental Mage - Mes: Anti Caster)

Seeing the necro render on the cover only provoked me more to play a necro, although it was gonna be a male one

The secondary was going to be a Warrior for role playing purposes, and since I knew nothing about the game (or metagame for that matter) a N/W Meleemancer called Kryth was born ^_^

The faces were so ugly tho, I had to spend half an hour to actually come up with a human looking necro with decent hair. I still have him to this day and he's still my fave char.

2nd Pve Char is Warrior followed by a Ritualist as 3rd.

P.S. If 10 of these classes were available from the start my main would probably be Ritualist and the 2nd would probably be a Dervish instead of a Warrior.
