Mesmer...

OK, my first character was a Warrior... but that lasted for about 2 hours before I realized it was a bit dull. So I switched to Mesmer for something that was distinctly Guild Wars... because that profession is unlike any other in any CRPG that I had ever played.

LOVE IT! Playing a Mesmer makes Guild Wars feel more like Magic: The Gathering.

Me/R with a bow and pet.

I obviously had no idea what I was doing back then. Deleted him after struggling in Kryta. Went Mo/W thinking I could be a self healing warrior.

Then I stopped being silly.

First character I created was a monk, I used a hammer. I've since learned to use a sword and an inspiration focus.

28.10.2004 I made a N/Mo.

This thread is quite nostalgic.

I started out with an sin/mesmer combination

Seemed really awesome at the time (i'll hax you, and I'll stab ya!! ^^) but didn't work out quite as well as I hoped.. Sins aren't meant for tanking.
As soon as I realised that, she got a nice place in my char selection screen for some time (playing a monk seemed more fun, I study to be a doctor, why not try out in GW for a change?

) and when my monk finished factions, my sin got a second chance, which she passed with flying colours. I still use her today, nostalgic reasons I guess..

Edit for deleting a insane amount of smilie faces

Ranger was my first. It goes back to my affinity for the Rogue/Amazon class from the Diablo games.
I also traditionally don't like playing spellcasters, and while I favor melee, I still like the idea of striking from a distance

Vinraith · Dec 08, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

I made an R/Mo and a W/N almost immediately upon getting the game. The R/Mo is no more but the W/N has turned out wonderfully.

Sir Skullcrasher · Dec 08, 2006, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Warrior was my first character, then i moved into Mesmer for my second character. But Warrior seems fun for me.

Sephiroth Istari · Dec 09, 2006, 12:04 AM // 00:04

Elementalist because I like being a cool mage.

Well, you have to admit that Dervishes look pretty sweet, which is probably why everyone picked them or some other class. I like my paragon more though; team based classes are the most fun.

The community needs to start fishing for guru members amongst the new players in Nightfall. We obviously don't have many.

And only 7 votes from players new with Factions.

Unless they are picking more core profs than chapter-specific ones.

legion_rat · Dec 09, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

necro was my first. and he didnt even have the mohawk.

~the rat~

My first character was a ranger :P i just really "liked" the idea of playing as a shooter something or other. I got all the way to Thunderkeep, and just couldnt play him anymore..

His name was Faerin Jun... That has to be the only reason i deleted him.

duncan99 · Dec 09, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

made an assassin cuz they looked cool to me, hard to play one but i like a challenge

Former Ruling · Dec 09, 2006, 11:10 PM // 23:10

My first character was "Former Ruling", my Ranger. He is 15 (almost 16) months old now.

I made him because I figured Ranger's (from the manual) sounded like solid characters to get into the game quick with and have fun.

I'm glad I choose Ranger too, since I completed 90% of chapter 1 with little friends and no guild, and Rangers happen to be one of the easiest classes to henchie things with.

It was my only character for like 1-2 months (I didnt PvP at the time, so no pvp rolled either). I made a Warrior and got him through the game (up to Ring of Fire atleast) then made one of the worst mistakes in this game - I deleted him because I wanted his name on a Necromancer I wanted to be my 3rd character.

The necro didn't pan out and got deleted before even making it to the desert, so I lost like a month of work in that Warrior (lvl20, decent weapons, drok armor, alot of elites, up to the fire islands, would have had birthday by now,etc. Thats ALOT back then as a pve newb) and ever since I've had the hardest time getting my current warrior up to that par...

I made a string of necros, elementalists, mesmer, etc that all never panned out, some ascended some didn't before getting deleted.

Then on my ranger I was Ettin farming with traps one day (Back when Ettin farming gave like 2-3 Gold armors a trip) and in 1 day I got like 3 Sup Monk Runes. This was in the hayday of 55ing everywhere so the runes were like 15-20k ea so since I had 3 already I decided at that point to empty my storage into getting the other 2 I'd need and make a monk. That monk I named "Not Another Ruling" (as a sort of joke of myself for having made like 5 different "[X] Ruling" names then deleting the characters) and this is my current monk, and second oldest surviving character at 9 (almost 10) months old, and yea I realize thats alot younger than Former Ruling..I told you I went through a huge period of making all these classes and deleting them over and over.

Since I've made another Necro "Defiled Ruling" (for SS/SVing, he is a Mule now...), Another warrior named "Bone Crusher Ruling" trying to get him to my old warriors glory, a Ritualist named "Distracting Ruling" whom I NEVER EVER play now...she is just a character slot waste, I made a Paragon for Nightfall then deleted him after the skill nerf (I only made him to unlock paragon skills and maybe pvp with anyway), and made a Dervish 2 days ago in his place named "Former Failings" which is my first pve character without "Ruling" in the name.

/sorry for long post, I took this time to remember all my fond memories of chaper 1 times

Vermilion · Dec 09, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Warrior, all the way. W/mo was suggested to me as a good starting place, and I still think so. I never used mending or hb though..

Anyway Ill make a short story too I guess:

Got warrior to ring of fire, and has never been farther. Capped charge and gladiators defense, made 100k running and farming trolls. Made a monk, spent 75k to make it a 55. Made an ele, ran it everywhere and deleted due to the name..I attempt to make a necro but it doesnt stick til I make a male, intended as a pre-only but I gave up on it. Got all necro and ranger core skills thru quests. Wasted 50K+ on armor, never used. Necro deleted post factions.

Then factions comes along..
Made a mes, get to last mission on factions pre, delete. Happens twice more..
Made a ranger, got it thru everything and got 1.5k Kurz. Deleted later.
Warrior finishes (1.5k) factions, monk finishes (15k). Made a mesmer, thru factions and 1.5k kurz, 15k kurz, 15k canthan...only char that goes thru both campaigns fully and got every mes skill. Made an Ele..as NF comes out.

Disinterest leads me to delete my NF necro, ai changes make farming too annoying for me. Ele deleted in favor of pve slot.

Various guild hopping through all, pve>ra>ab>ha>gvg.

And thats it.. 7 pvp slots/3 pve. Pve are mules..waste of life on gw fully realized.
