Oh, god....great thread.

My first character was named AMD ZEN. He was an E/Me because of Conjure Phantasm.

I remember taking a short break from the game near the beginning, only to comeback and when I joined a Sorrow's group, they didn't have a BiP. They told me to bring my own energy management. I brought Mantra of Recall as my elite... lolz.... with no fire attunement btw....

E/Me, made him as big as possible too, i thought the height scaling was some kind of zoom, which i used to see what he looked like haha, that was fun. And coming straight from diablo 2 i figured a magician would be the best class to pown everything with hehe, didn't realize guild wars was such a balanced game hehehe. soon after made a ranger/monk and found the pets to be really awesome! me and my brother made most of our characters /r after that just to have a pet XD

I was a Me/N because I wanted to be this awesome hexpressure machine. I was a one-man Soul Barbs spike on those lowlevel bosses.

First E for some damage, then /Me for some more damage and utility. I actually tried all the secondaries with my first character and popped through the searing at lv9, then soloed everything up to Yak's Bend before giving up and hiring some henchmen to help out (yes, soloing, as in going alone as an E/Me, I used some contrived builds and tactics back then

).

N/E

This was from like lvl 9-14 and thankfully at lvl 14 I decided that maybe I should change my skills becuase the whole ele thing wasn't working out, so I went with all necro skills.

Not sure how i made any minions with 3 other skills that exploited corpses lol but I always was and still am a minion master ^^ consume corpse was just for fun cuz hell who doesn't want to teleport, but when I got serious I switched it out for rotting flesh. lol such a huge differance >_>

I also came from diablo 2 (with The Bard) where I was a necro mm (lagmancer!) and I just remember being overjoied that in GW I could create a female necromancer cuz I was really sick of playing as a man lol (haven't made a male character on GW ever, cept a cute ranger one time but never played as him)

My first profession was of course the best profession. Warrior/Monk with Mending.

I stomped through quest after quest, mission after mission with my all powerful W/Mo. Everyone wanted me in their group because I had MENDING.

I'll never forget that week long time in the PVP area of Yaks Bend and being able to hold off and even sometimes kill a group of four solo after the rest of my teammates died.

My W/Mo build was so superior back then. It was a sad day when Anet finally starting giving us experience again in the PVP arena's. I was a goddess of supreme power. Ahhh those were the days I loved the most about this game. But, of course they have nerfed everything out of existance now and it's not as fun as it used to be.

R/E is where it's at for badass noob combos.

Maximumraver · Nov 26, 2007, 12:20 PM // 12:20

E/Mo, i didn't like Aura of Restoration, so to heal myself i used Shield of Regeneration (fun times, being noob ^^), been E/Mo from a few months since the beginning.

R/N

I really don't remember much about it, though. My most vivid remembrance was of my second character, a fire nuker. :P

Hiotoko · Nov 26, 2007, 12:30 PM // 12:30

E/Me, I really wish I hadn't deleted her. Good times, heh. Apparently I only have one screenshot of her, somewhat disappointing. Her skillbar really wasn't that bad (at level 17).

The rest of the screenshot explains the degen.

N/R

Logic was simple: Pet + Minions = imba super power! It didn't quite work out thou ...

Some Guru Named Kai · Nov 26, 2007, 12:42 PM // 12:42

My very first character was an ele (still alive and kicking!), I had played as healer and warrior types in other mmorpg's and thought that this time, I want to blow the behjesus out of everything! Then became E/Me when a friend of mine told me about how underrated Mesmer's powers are and that later on I would want this skill called "Arcane Echo"

This was me at level 11:

p.s. I was such a newbie... no rez in PvE = lose. :P

E/N. Such fond memories of exploring for the first time. As a level 9 E/N I went exploring out of Yak's Bend for the first time with hench. I ended up at the Ascalon Settlement in North Kryta Province without finding any outposts along the way :| I parked myself there for the night without logging off hoping to find one the next day. After getting squashed by ettins a number of times I eventually gave up and mapped back to Yak's.
