Best elite when you were a beginner?

In your opinion when you were new to guild wars, what elite did you think was the ultimate and you had to have it and always used it.

For me is was at first Mist Form for my ele, and 2nd was shield of judgment for my monk.

Victory is mine on my warrior

ether renewal and either prodigy, the first which i now hate due to recent buff and the second i still love =)

[double dragon] it was my first elite capped as an elite, hasn't been on my bar in ages, idk why...

oh man post like thses bring back the good times , my first ever leet skill was prob Focused Anger, at that time i didnt know anything about imbagons so i just used it to power up spear attacks, ah those were the days

Dwarven Battle Stance And Warriors Endurance. Warriors endurance + Power attack for fun, Dwarven battlestance for constant IAS and Interrupts almost. It was fun.

I will say WoH fro my Monk and Punsihiing Shot for my Ranger my Warrior didn't get one untill much later as well as my Ele.

Flashing Blades on my sin.

''Dude it makes you totally invincible in melee if you keep attacking?!?!?!?1''

Well of Power because of the energy regen and I <3 wells.

When I was a newb beginner, [[Gladiator's Defense]. Couldn't wait to cap it, and I remember feeling bummed that it was the last elite in the mission.

100 blades, 100%

Water Trident.

Run, bitch run! Oh, oops did you trip? Yeah, run! Oops, did I do that?

None. I never used an elite on my ele til I pvp'd. All the other skills killed quite nicely.

[healing hands] for my wammo! I felt unstoppable w/ [vigorous spirit]

Offering of Blood; before it was nerfed because of boonprots.

Glimmer of Light, yo

"Wow it casts soooo fast"

[skill]gladiator's defense[/skill]

this skill never left my bar until I learned there were better elites like [skill]eviscerate[/skill]
I used it way too much, in fact I can give you my noob bar off the top of my head, using a sword not an axe:

[skill]sever artery[/skill][skill]gash[/skill][skill]final thrust[/skill][skill]watch yourself[/skill][skill]healing signet[/skill][skill]endure pain[/skill][skill]gladiator's defense[/skill][skill]rebirth[/skill]

I dunno,

[Gladiator's Defense] or [Charge!] ?

Word of healing

on my ele was all about [Elemental Attunement] but when night fall came out it was [Avatar of Melandru] before they redid all the dervish forms
