Never happened 'cos there's obviously no storyline.
Guild Wars storylines can be summarized as one of the following;

1) Running away from the monster antagonists (Charr. Stone Summit. White Mantle. Kournans.)
2) Trying to find the source of monster antagonists. (Titans. Afflicted. Margonites. Demons.)

Coupled with the return of a generic ancient evil which is behind it all.

All the little points thrown into the story don't really change the fact that the stories tend to be the same, and the characters besides your own are irrelevant.

Epic thread gets epic lulz.


NM isn't hard. I hate to say this, but get builds off wiki. Even though most of them are only moderately good (example the Mo/E HB bar sucks), they might be better then what you are running.

True.

I remember having lots of difficulties coping with Rain of Terror aoe spikes. After a few wipes I dumped Koss and loaded Jin as a choker with NR. Went through them Rains like panzers through Poland.

Realm of torment can be steamrolled with a decent tanking build and two Searing Flames elementalists, use dual Meteor shower on those demons!
