Any regrets about your first profession choice?

Every time I log onto guildwars, I am thankful I made a necro and wasn't lured into anet's description of the ele and its ad of "high damage and nuking" I don't know what exactly was running my mind when I made a necro, but I was intrigued about anet's description. Necros are patient and many plans involve sacrifice?

If I did have any regrets, it was when I was a noob and I was running bad death magic/blood magic hybrids with prophecies only skills. Now playing a necro is so easy, I think my brain's atrophied. I am quite glad I choose a necromancer to start with.

Played my monk for three years. Nerfs came round. Haven't played her since. Makes me sad.

No; since you can have more than one character, why regret starting out with something when you can make something else if you don't like it much?

I don't regret starting out with my Ranger, even though I don't play her very often and didn't play her at all for a long time. If anything, I regret starting in Prophecies, because I quickly decided that I hated her appearance (that has since been changed) and the slowness of the campaign was driving me batty. I didn't finish leveling her up until well over a year after making that character, and took even longer to ascend and do the attribute quests.

I agree with your sadness, I took my Monk out last week & she had dust on her o.O Most of all i regret naming my monk Six Hundred FTW....

Regrets about my first profession choice? It was a War...'Nough said.

Monk, got her to level 19 and thought, Ele and Warrior. Then Deleted my monk.

Do I regret it? Not really... ER Infuse if fun to play and a beast. I hung with my Warrior and Ele till Eye of the North. Monks didn't get serious love until late Nightfall, even after Healers Boon I was still 'meh'.

I remember PROTECTION MAGICS SUCK on everyones mind pre-factions. It's funny that no one made hybrid builds within the same profession at that time.

"Healer, protector and warrior stances?! Blasphemy! It's almost as crazy as Frenzy! Which is the worst skill ever!"

My first profession was Ele. I got to post searing, found flare spam wasn't working against the grawls, deleted it, and remade it so I could be back in pre-searing. After a while I decided to make a Me/N and focus on hexes. I got to Kryta, took a long break, and decided to delete it and start over with a War. Then 5 years or so later my War has everything done, my Rit has most things done, and my Ele has NM Prophecies and half of NM Factions.

my regret is that I wasn't able to foresee the future and know that you'd eventually be able to freely change your secondary, so I made 2 necros (one to be SS n/me, the other to be MM n/mo), so with my eventual 10 slots I had to leave 1 profession out, which is Mesmer.

It's a sentimental thing. The toon you went on the first time you logged into gw has a lot of good memories and well, even if another profession is better, I am at least still biased towards my profession and dote on that character with the best trinkets and stuff.

My first was a war called James noble. Had him for about 3 years, and one day for whatever reason, I deleted him. Months later I thought I would remake him but its not the same.
And I don't really regret too many things but I had a monk who I did literally everything with but I wanted a female monk instead so I remade it. Little did I know that the next week they released the makeovers. Yeah, I was pissed.

Warrior, played for 2 years before I used my next character slot. Yes I regret that..

None whatsoever. Made my Ranger and he has been my main ever since. Made him GWAMM and now I've discovered how fun a Rit can be, so I'm playing him. But no regrets, I love that profession and were I to go back, Ranger would still be my first choice.

I dunno, I disliked my warrior for a long time, mostly because I got the hair colour wrong, but then, once he got a makeover, he kinda grew on me and is a prime candidate for GWAMM by now...

First 4 classes I started in order were

Ranger
Mesmer
Warrior
Necro

Abandoned the warrior within a few days didn't start another till Factions came out.
Abandoned the Ranger when Factions came out because I didn't want to keep running it through Prophesies so started another one in Factions.
Really stupid decision.

Mesmer and Necro are still with me

My 1st character was a warrior but I was such a noob in the beginning. I thought ít'd be awesome to make a W/E and be all gale, whirlwind and/or frozen burst in your face pwnage. Found out that Warrior's aren't very good with energy and when factions came out I made an Assassin right away, not knowing that I could bring the warrior over.

Finally dusted him off when EotN came out. Not really a regret but it felt like a really big waste of a slot.

No regrets, just disappointment with my Necro when I realized that minions and traps weren't as intergrated as Pre made it sound... That and I couldn't get armor anywhere close to Eve's.

nope...e/mo and she STILL is to this day. 2nd was n/me--runs curses ss, 3rd me/r and last was monk....still have them all and still play them the most (though my necro didnt see any action for some time and my mes got stuck at yaks until wintersday '05--she was made in august '05).
I thought very carefully before I made my first character (and my hubby and I played together--he made a warrior to play with my ele---however now he barely plays and his warrior gets the least amount of that play time). His first character, ranger and yep she is still being played (more than the warrior).

While boonprot existed, this was basically true. Why split attributes when you could outheal WoH and prot at the same time...

No regrets here.

I started as a warrior and now, almost 5 years later, he's gwamm with 23mil exp, 3k hours played and still used almost daily.

Currently just really hoping the survivor change is for reals. Would love working on getting him survivor (by proper playing), despite nearly 5k deaths

Assassin here.

No regrets.

Although I'm rather disappointed that I can no longer farm with shadow form.
