Basic 3 sword attack combo: Sever, Gash, Thrust.
Used Conjure as well. Wasn't stupid enough to Flare spam, lol.
It seemed like a good idea before I started playing, but then I realised how limiting the Warrior's energy pool is.
What was your first profession *combination*?

Honestly, my first profession choice and R/Me and I had nearly the same set up as you, lol. I thought it would be cool to have a pet, set traps, and mess with the enemies mind
phoo slaya
my first char was a R/N, it's what i used in beta because i could shoot stuff, then if it came and attacked me, id use vampiric touch on it. so basically i used powershot, precision shot, and marksmans wager with vampiric touch. for the record i never made a touch ranger build. i change my secondary constantly but i still use N for some curses, i love curses.

I think my first was a Ne/Wa.
Vampiric touch + Sprint, those were the days !

I used firestorm so much is was FUN! I was so jealous of my husband monk because he was using lava font and I couldn't figure out where he got it from. When we were defeating the undead horde he rushed into the dragon and was like LAVA FONT and it went boom. /sigh at AoE nerf

My first character was on my brother's account. We bought two copies of the game but I thought the activation key was per computer and not per account, so I didn't activate mine at the time. She was a necromancer / Elementalist or a N/Me. I'm not sure which.
My first character on my own account was either my necromancer / monk or my elementalist / mesmer. Not sure which one...
Both are still on their original professions, but until recently I'd never played the necromancer past getting to post searing Ascalon - too much goth in those costumes, made a Factions necromancer and put her in Sunspear gear instead.
I gave up the elementalist until Nightfall came out - I just didn't like the look of Prophesies elementalists, but after putting her in Istani armor she didn't look so bad, but in fact a bit elegant, so I've continued her on through most of Prophesies (in the Shiverpeaks at the moment). Also switched her to an earth mage off of fire when I re-continued her, and I've found that a lot more enjoyable and effective with my play style.

and then fall off a cliff.
Then I switched to Me/Rt and got people saying "wtf? Me/Rt? Never seen that before."
Then I switched to Me/A, then Me/N, then Me/D, then....okay I switched to every darn combo.

Run up to them, hit them with my sword, cast a point blank phoenix lose all my energy, hit them with sword again.
Love that build in ascalon, northern shiverpeaks. Was getting tired in Kryta and Magumma, and was really sick of it in Crystal Desert.
Never went conjure because I didn't get a decent sword drop till after I could change my profession.

I used a fire wand with 15-1 and a fire off-hand with +5 energy no req that I got from somebody and then I used hamstring inferno-flare-fire storm-fireball- healing signet-endure pain-sprint

My very first and oldest character is Sonya, and she started off as a Ele/Necro.
I didn't know what to choose alongside my fire magic skills, and I figured some life stealing skills would help keep me alive. It actually worked great, helped me get to the desert pretty well. After having captured some elites such as life transfer and SS, I switched to E/Mo, because I now use 7 fire skills and 1 res skill in PvE.

I made two characters at the same time: a R/E and and N/Mo.
The R/E was because Rangers are heavy into Nature stuff, with all the Wilderness Survival and Beastmastery; I thought adding the elemental side of Nature in would be good.
N/Mo was to have death in one hand, and life in the other.
For a long time my most effective build was N/E, with Glyph of Lesser Energy being the only ele spell. Even now that I have better weapons and radiant armor, it's still the easiest build to play.

I started playing in Factions and my first character was[still is] Assassin/Necromancer
It sounded bad-ass at the time.
I was mainly using soul feast and plague touch to help with the Afflicted conditions/explosions.

followed the advice in the manuals:
A R/W can damage a foe from distance and then use a hammer in melee
of course specced max markmanship and hammer just to get damage >.<
I do remember that W/E was a really bad-ass combo
lava font tanks had insane damage

All my characters have started out with /Mo, (except the monk). This was just for the "hard" rez - no points in any monk attribute, except "leftovers".
The first character that ever actually used a secondary was my Necro - i jacked enough points into Healing Prayers to use Heal Area on the minions.
Since then I've used /W on my Dervish just so I could use Distracting Blow and I have a W/E Obsidian Warrior (more of a warrior than a tank
).

Did it just because I thought 2 tanks, me plus a pet would be awesome! Then decided that it wasn't such a good idea and went with W/Mo.

Why only use distracting shot and savage shot when you can have power leak and spike?!?
I think I used conjure phantasm and chaos storm at one point, but soon I dropped all mesmer skills :P

I liked the Necro skills but Fast Casting looked more useful to me at first blush than Soul Reaping (with 0 skills in the line at the time) so I decided to go for a fast casting necro.
Beat the game with her and explored everywhere before there were titles for it, but with only four character slots (one for PvP means really 3 slots) and no hope in sight for more slots in the future (at the time), I gritted my teeth and deleted her in favor of a better farmer. Much regret. Wish I had her back.

Mine was R/N. I invented the Price of Failure Ranger (around the time I first got to Thirsty River - maybe a week or two after release).

edit: forgot Plague Touch was in there somewhere
RA was so much fun with that the first couple months.

i wanted to use blood to heal myself, i wanted a pet, and i wanted to attack with a bow as well as have OMFG cool minions.
my skill bar was like.... vamp gaze, unholy feast, demonic flesh, charm animal, comfort animal, call of protection, power shot, bone horror. not to mention points in soul reaping
overall i had like 5 or 6 each in beast mastery, marksmanship, blood magic, death magic, soul reaping. i was allways running out of energy even back before soul reaping nerf, and my damage was pretty pathetic. at least i looked pretty cool
a few months later i have transformed into an MM and at times had over 60 minions down in sorrows furnace LOL
cant beleive they nerfed that :'( minion limit ftl

My first character was a Ranger/Monk.
I started around the same time two other people I knew; one was a Warrior/Mesmer and the other was a Necromancer/Elementalist. I wanted to get the other 2 professions, so that we would be a ballanced team. I chose ranger as my primary because I heard that they had better armor, and I didn't think about the energy needed for a monk.
I put about 2/3 of my points into marksmanship and the other third into healing prayers. I don't remember my build, but I think it was more healing than anything else.
I didn't dislike my build, but I quit it because it was getting difficult getting a PUG when none of my friends were on. I decided that being a monk primary was better, so I switched to my current character (Mo/Me)

I remember reading through the first guild wars manuscript through the core 6 professions and chose necro because you steal health and i thought that would be the most useful. my expereinced friend said that was a good idea, and naturally my secondary became a monk :P

Stereotypical Wammo, with healing skills like mending up until a bit after Yak's bend. At that point I was having some trouble and experimented with a pure warrior build, which was a lot more successful and considerably less noobish. Think rebirth was my only monk skill after that. I absolutely loved "Watch Yourself!", since Alesia wanted to be the tank. Couldn't set henchman flags, so she'd rush in right alongside me and get owned v_v!
Later on I switched to W/R and ran an apply poison/cyclone axe build. Aw yeah.
Once I reached Droks I went for full Knight's armor, even though the damage reduction effect was global so you only needed one piece. I even knew that, I just thought it was the only decent looking armor so I got it anyways.
