My first was a W/R on Prophecies, can't remember the build but there was a pet for sure.

Next day I made a R/E, and with her I finished Prophecies carrying Flare :P

Verene · Jul 03, 2009, 12:30 AM // 00:30

My first character was R/E. Power Shot+Firestorm FTW :P

I never did finish leveling that character up, I'm actually working at that now.

I thought I was awesome.

You are kick-ass, let no one tell you otherwise!

I started Prophecies as a Warrior/Necromancer as well. Before I bought the game, one of my friends who played GW let me borrow his Prima Game Guide so that I could look at skills and see what I would eventually like to do. I came up with this build before purchasing the game, and it carried me through Prophecies (with slight variations until I was able to cap my Elite in THK, that is

). He also set me up with some gear, here's the breakdown. No shit, I was a badass (and even though I know better now, I still run a variant of this build for nostalgia's sake every once in a while). Nihilist Tiger (my Warrior) is still my main, always will be.

W/N: "Eat Babies!"

10+1+3 Swordsmanship
8+1 Strength
12 Blood Magic

Distracting Blow
Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust
Life Siphon
Life Transfer
Plague Touch
Resurrection Signet

No IAS or IMS/cancel stance, way too much investment in Blood Magic, energy management was... a bit fail. At least I had Plague Touch, right (that skill still kicks ass for a W/N)?

HP: 506 (515 if I had been able to afford a Sup Vigor, and Runes of Vitae didn't exist)
Energy: 39 (I used an offhand instead of a Shield, sue me)

Duelist's Helm (+1 Swordsmanship, stacking, +1e) Superior Swordsmanship Rune
Gladiator's Hauberk (+3e) Major Absorption Rune
Gladiator's Gloves (+1e) Minor Strength Rune
Gladiator's Leggings (+2e) Major Vigor Rune
Knight's Boots (reduces damage taken by 3 - back when this was GLOBAL, one piece worked to reduce all damage, and it wasn't limited to Physical damage only)

Victo's Blade - req9 15-22 damage, 15^50, +3/-1 Vampiric, +30hp
The Shadestone - req9 +12e, HCT all spells 10%, +30hp

First profession was Necro.
Can't really remember early builds, I think I was mainly playing curses back then. And sometimes I was raising minions but I didn't really like it.
But it was fun to make comments how lonely I felt without them and how sad I was when they died. Always good for a few laughs in the team.

I know I played 55/180 HP Orders a lot in ToPK, but that was a couple of months after I started playing.

Touch Ranger baby!

(bring on the hate!)

Dude, it took me like MONTHS to get through the Ring of Fire missions. I used to raptor farm with her too (in NM no less). I think she even had a 0-spec'd pet running around with her half the time (Melandru Stalker probably). That poor girl is sitting in cold storage with her radiant insignias and chaos gloves. Not sure if I'll ever see her again.

W/Mo

Cleave, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, Mending

painofsalvationz · Jul 04, 2009, 04:12 AM // 04:12

w/mo HUNDRED BLADES, heal sig, res, sever, gash, final thrust, IAS, mending

Potential Murder · Jul 05, 2009, 08:38 AM // 08:38

R/Me, Factions campaign. Only reached level 14, didn't understand the importance of doing anything other than soloing. Build was... odd

[Charm Animal][Hunter's Shot][Pin Down][Throw Dirt][Energy Tap][Ether Feast][Troll Unguent]

No [Comfort Animal]. That might explain why I gave up on the game for a long time.

The forth fly · Jul 05, 2009, 01:28 PM // 13:28

Nec/Monk blood skills i think it was 4 years ago my memory is not that good

Jaigoda · Jul 06, 2009, 12:44 AM // 00:44

My first character was a N/Me, but I can't remember anything about him other than that. My oldest character, however, is a W/Mo, and I remember quite vividly volunteering to play as a healer with healing breeze and orison in FoW.

Ahh, those were the days.

dusanyu · Jul 06, 2009, 11:50 PM // 23:50

this was back in Proph

E/W Hamshower

Show Some Skin · Jul 06, 2009, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Mine was an Ele/Nec

I dont know the build i used but i had like necro skills and every ele attribute skill. I didnt have any attunements either

and i mostly did Flare Spam

Ferminator · Jul 07, 2009, 03:06 AM // 03:06

My first character was an E/Me

I think I had gole+energy tap <- uber energy management i thought

others were lightning javelin, eruption, windborn speed, mantra of flame and lightning orb and res sig.

then i caped ether renewal

Perkunas · Jul 07, 2009, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Mo/Me running a smite/heal mix up to the Jungle. Switched to mostly heal with 1 or 2 protections. She worked through the "monk strike" in THK. She could do that mission in her sleep. Retired shortly after Factions was released, she became obsolete, I could not afford the game at the time. About 9 months ago, she teamed up with Ogden, now 600/smiting Nebo Terrace and North Kryta Province.

[DE] · Jul 07, 2009, 03:17 AM // 03:17

N/Mo

Demonic Flesh
Vital Blessing
Blood Renewal
Vampiric Gaze
Shadow Strike
Life Siphon
Offering of Blood
Resurrect

I thought Vital Blessing + Demonic Flesh was godly

I thought degen was cool! shut up!

i was the same way at first but it was with vamp gaze and life siphon it did take me a ways all the way through prophecies but i wasnt good ive learned a lot from then

second char was pure wammo tried to keep frenzy up permantly didnt understand at first why i lost so much health when monsters hit me thats why i had to go monk secondary for my big healing numbers got to the desert decided frenzy was bad for me took ranger for pet for sidekick til i learned how to play better

Trader of Secrets · Jul 07, 2009, 05:53 AM // 05:53

I ran a W/N using sever/gash with a bunch of degen hex from N.

Arkantos · Jul 07, 2009, 05:59 AM // 05:59

W/E with random skills...and spammed flare.

Yeah, it was amazing.
