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.

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.

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

When I first made my warrior, I used Hundred Blades because you could cap it from charr. I used WoH on my monk though.

Glyph of renewal, because it was instant recharge for my meteor shower. As this was before the update that made baddies scatter from AoE damage, I loved seeing mobs get obliterated by 2 meteor showers with a firestorm thrown in for good measure.

Glyph of Renewal for my ele, most definitely. I miss the days when the mobs had retarded AI, and you heard everyone screaming for glyph nukers.

I didn't have an elite for a LONG time. First elite I capped was [Shield of Regeneration] on my N/Mo, second was [Grenth's Balance].... I kept shield after I first did Dragon's Lair.

I still remember using [Shadow Form] on my sin when he was lvl 17 *god that was so long ago*, I thought that was a great skill *I even knew how to use it so I wouldn't die from the end effect O.o*.

My warrior always used [Defy Pain] unless he went Beastmaster, then he used [Heal as One].

Being a newb... those were the days.

haha my favorite for both pve and pvp was always escape (when it was 75% to EVADE 30 sec recharge and lasted about 15 seconds with the 33% boost) in pvp id also bring lightning reflexes and whirling defence so at all times i had a 75% chance to evade/block

I thought I was the big shit in town because my e/me was far superior to all other eles, because I had energy management. With what skill you ask? Mantra of Recall. Hey, I didn't have wiki to tell me where to get the attunements.
