Ravenous Gaze. First Elite I got, now I feel bad for having run a blood bar.
My favourites now include Spiteful Spirit, Spoil Victor, Spirit Light Weapon and Eviscerate.
Best elite when you were a beginner?

My first elite was on my N/R and it was [marksman's wager] which i thought was pretty pro , until i capped [Order of the Vampire] which i believed was the best idea ever.
I then found the joys of [Spiteful Spirit] BWAHAHAHA i then realized the great synchronization between in and [Insidious Parasite] and then especially made a build to take down those gay mursaat Monk bosses

Barrage. All my guildies helped me to get Barrage, and at that time, that was the only elite you ever needed as a ranger >.< Until factions came

I don't know which one, but if you are depending on this thread to look for a good elite because you don't know which one to use.
I suggest you use all of them and find one that you like the most.

Back on topic: [marksman's wager] was the first elite I ever capped on my ranger, but even back then I realized it was pretty shit. I did use it to fuel some meteor shower shenanigans though. Then I got Barrage and didn't bother getting anything else.
Man I sucked back in the day.

[eviscerate]
and guess what, IT STILL OWNS FACES

Angels Guidance
It wasnt an elite, but I remember getting hit by maelstorm by a wind rider boss in the jungle while on my monk. Straight after I had to go and capture it because of how 'elite' it was.

Second Elite I capped on my Necro was [Spiteful Spirit], which I kept on my bar for about 2 months when I wasn't MM.
Yeah, boring, I know.
But wow, was it the kitty's milk!

I thought [skill]Warrior's Endurance[/skill] was the shit when I capped it. It's still not a *bad* elite, especially if you use more energy than adren.
Squishy ftw
I used to be a pro [healing hands] warrior.
Free Runner
Barrage. It was the only elite i would use in PvE in the days before Factions arrived with BHA. After Nightfall it was Burning Arrow and Poison Arrow.
the savage nornbear
[barrage] ftw! I can hit 6 guys! Nuts!
payne
[skill]energy surge[/skill] - on my ranger ^^
use to think my bar was leet - till I got to THK lol
used to run something like:
power shot; charm animal,conjure fantasm,ether fiest,troll unguent,e-surge,rez and something else - think it was another mes skill :P

[Gladiator's Defense]
Gave me my first real appreciation for damage sources other than my weapon.

It would have to be Ether Renewal. It was so much fun and so broken back in the days.
Theo Godscythe
Mark of Protection, it was so fun when it saved your life for 10 seconds and suddenly ended leaving you defenseless.
Coraline Jones
I bought the game less than a month after the game went live, so the game was still filled with friendly people, people liked to PUG, and everything was awesome and new.
My favorite skill on my ele was pre-nerf Ether Prodigy.
My favorite skill on my monk was pre-nerf Offering of Blood.
My favorite skill on my warrior was pre-nerf Eviscerate.
I didn't have more characters because you only had four slots back in the good old days.

Glads Defense was the 1st one I capped but didnt really enjoy using it as it didnt seem to kill much
Knight O Cydonia
[[Word of Healing] was my 1st elite that i capped. Those desert mission monk elites are pretty useful.
Lady of the Keep
My first elite was spell breaker. I also thought barrage was the best thing ever.
360??
WoH, red bars up g0g0g0
Jetdoc
Definitely [Word of Healing]. It's the first monk elite you encounter in Prophecies, and makes your monk so much more functional.
Acehigh
I don't know why, but I just loved [Glimmering Mark]. I used to use it alot in '05 before I deleted my Ele.
Beren985
For me it was [Shield of Regeneration], on my Mesmer. I think I finished Prophecies with that elite on my bar.
Sora267
I thought Spiteful Spirit was WTFAMAZING. And alas, it was, and still is.
Oh, and when my friend(Who started when I did) and I found out about 55 Monks, we thought of them as gods lol.
Lol, not sure why you'd need it on a Mesmer, Fast Casting is pretty useless in PvE on a 1/4th cast spell!

Like tons of necroes: Arcane Echo Life Transfer! With stuff awaken the blood no less.
To be fair, LT is 234 damage AND heal for 5 energy. And you can echo it. Yeah.
Sigh.

My first character ever was a ranger so you guess it, Barrage. Mutiple targets hit, 5 energy, it just made out of win.
Ah good old days.

Anway mine would have to be [eviscerate] I remember when it was +40 dmg and 7 adrenaline.
isamu kurosawa
[[grenths balance] on my ele because prophecies ele elites just plain sucked at that point.
Blame the Monks
My first elite was warrior's endurance, and I used that thing for the longest time.
kobey
Didn't read the posts, probably someone posted before me, but anyway here's mine:
[healing hands] and [hundred blades]
I am serious, I really thought they were good back then.

i win
that was the first build i ever wanted.
Sniff i miss those days now. TRying to get to droks thinking i could cap it there. only to find i needed to go farther to get it, and for the life of me i could not get to the ice caves of sorrow.
took my ele another year to get there, and i think i still haven't gotten off my lazy ass to cap that skill

[double Dragon] - Still never used it tho

First one I got was Markman's Wager on my now long deleted Ranger. My friend used Mark of Protection of his Ranger and another used Word of Healing on his Elementalist. Those were the days when we were all baed at the game. Then I got better
