...The farm in Urgoz HM where you laid down 6 spirits and the enemies would sac themselves to death, raining you in Gold items? I remember how much it was used before getting fixed - does anyone still have any screenies?

I had so many Assassin Skill Tomes that I had to give them away.

Albeit it was nerfed like the first day I tried it.

55 in UW you could hold down every group of smite you could keep on you. 105 wasnt as suc. at as many groups.

Oh and after some thought Zealot farming was fun as well.

You can still solo trap there.

I only did the Urgoz farm for an hour or two before the new build came and crashed the party.

Yep, I remember that. But I was wondering: Since Anet is going to divide skills to PvP and PvE versions, can an EW rollback be in the horizon? *crosses fingers*

No dying nightmares in the UW, good times and fun as heck. Like to see a little of the old and new, "Hard Mode and no Nightmares" I might actually go back to the UW for that.

LFG Drakes at Gates of Kryta; also Sand Drakes in Elona's Reach. Does anyone remember the chests [before they were locked] in the Gates of Kryta mission near Justiciar Hablion that would give "decent" items? Sometimes good modifiers as well.
But unfortunately I didn't bother making a monk until after Protective Bond was nerfed, so I didn't get in on that later.

I miss the old days where there is excitment everytime I get a gold drop for me. Be it gold armor or weapon, there is a slight chance that you might identify something that is worthed something.

All too well. One of our guildmates quit playing when they nerfed that. It was a sad day for us.

True that. Probably the second dumbest change they ever made, right next to nerfing prot bond.

No, nerfing prot bond was good. You can see on the video that it was ridiculous. But loot scaling killed my necro ;[ Well, I deleted him because he couldn't do anything back then, but still...

Great times. Anyone's got a video of farming ettins?
