After making a new Char (monk/war) i realised that most of the people in Pre-searing are either rangers or necros. I am not an enemy of wither of these as my Pvp slot usually is a necro and i have a PvE ranger but I just wanted to know:

What was your first Char?

Mine was a Ranger called Eothrid the Ranger second was a monk called Emelynn the monk pls fll me in.

My very first toon was a N/W. I thought a "death knight" type character would be cool. Needless to say after getting slaughtered in melee I got rather frustrated with the idea and deleted the toon. Now that I know more about the game I know what I was doing wrong, but at the time it was very frustrating.

I chose R/Mo, too. I liked both the healing capabilities and the fact that I could shoot people from far away WHILE healing. He's still a R/Mo.

I messed about in Pre Searing for a little while trying a couple of diff professions when the game first came out but eventually chose the one in my Avatar, which I consider my first proper character. Not had any regrets, really love playing Mesmer. Have played her mostly as a pure Mesmer too.

Since ascending with her I quite a while back now I took a few other characters through the game but got bored of them and haven't bothered to ascend any of them, yet...still keep going back to my mesmer

My first character was an E/Me which I deleted upon arriving at Druid's Overlook. I had done too many things wrong, and at the time I didn't even know how useful energy storage was.

First character is Ondo Calaelen W/Mo. I now have a Female W/Mo that I hope will replace Ondo one day. (The females look allot better when you play the game for hour's on end) I also have two others. One a Necro/Mo and the other a R/W. I think the N/Mo will get deleted and I will go for a N/R Nuker, as I had it before and it was a very good character to use but accidentally got deleted.

My first character was/is a Warrior/Monk...

I got the game the day it came out. I didn't play any betas or anything and i had just recently heard about the game. I chose warrior because i like to melee enemies and when pressed to choose a secondary i went with monk because i liked being able to heal myself to take a little pressure off of monks.

I've never gone into any fight thinking i can not die. I attack whatever target is called and i follow whoever is leading. If i see an enemy run towards and start attacking the monk or another caster i go back and try to get the enemies attention off of him/her. If i ever died i died because it was my fault, not of anyone else. I sit patiently for anyone to revive me and then heal up and get back into battle.

Even though i do this people are still sometimes hesitant to allow me in their party because of other warrior/monks who give good w/mo's bad names...

My very first character back in the World Preview Event was a W/R. Yes, I was very nub at the time. There was really no reasoning behind my choice because I'd never played/heard of the game before.

My 1st character was a E/mo.. made her for for the sole reason I love spellcasters and nuking.. hehe. I ended up deleting her because I was getting frustrated with things and it just didn't seem to be working out for me.. course I realize now I deleted her just b4 getting some goody-goody spells.. LOL Oh and the thing's which frustrated me then are still doing it now.. I just now know how to deal with it.. LOL

My 2nd character is a W/Mo.. got her all the way to desert missions before switching to something else. She's fun to play, altho can be annoying when dealing with certain critters.. and the bug I'm having with adren skills at times makes her completely unplayable.. so she's sitting waiting to be finished..

3rd toon was a R/mo .. nice character, but only up to Yak's Bend. Not sure what I'll do with her.. she's nice and easy, but doesn't have the "spike" damage like my 4th toon has...

4th toon is a N/Mo. and boy do I love this toon.. lots of self-healing.. so no need to worry about Alesia healing me.. hehhee.. very nice spike damage as well (well, what I call spike ).. I can easily bring down lvl 20 critters very quickly just by myself.. hehehe..

5th toon is a remake of my E/Mo ... now that I know more about the game I am confident that I can make it work this time.. hehehehe I'm still wondering if she'll be able to out spike my N tho.. hehehehe. probably.. altho I am wondering just how to deal with energy management.. since my N's energy management is pretty good with high soul reaping (in PvE only).. and E's spells are quite high in energy cost's..

My First char. was a E/Me named Sir Panzerfaust and is my favorite char., already beat the game with him. Then I created a Mo/W, got to Yaks bend and didn't really like him, so I deleted him. Now I'm working on a R/Mo and W/N.

THen Dom Inpiration and Earth (for an uberwarder)
Then to just Dom adn Inspiration again.
Then fire and illusion.

And now I'm a Me/Mo because I got bored of the elementalist secondary.

As I recall, I created four characters right after creating my account, the first saturday night and the next three sunday morning bright and early (on a side note, buying guild wars right before the exam break probably wasn't the best career move...).My first character, El Pardak, was a Warrior, later Warrior/Monk (yes, yes... you be quiet back there). After whacking some skales with him, I made my Ranger (/Elementalist), Alyssa Kintara, and shot some skales with my bow, which was pretty cool too. But then, I decided to get some casters going, and made, rapid-like, my Elementalist (/Mesmer), Aayla Darana, and blew up some skales, and my Necromancer (/Mesmer), Kalia Dena, who I used to cruelly and unhesitatingly rob the skales of their very life force.

Now, my characters are like my childrens... I love them all, and play them all fairly often, which is why I haven't even ascended a single one of them (I know, kinda sad... but I'm really really close with Aayla). I didn't make any serious mistakes, so when I did I just redistributed attribute points and changed skills, and I can't foresee deleting any of them soon, if only because of the time I spent on them (many real-time hours each, which I just can't bare to waste).

Sounds just like me. I played waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when in the E34E well over a year ago. Warrior/Ranger just because I didn't know any better. Monk/Mesmer in WPE who was also my first in release.

E/Mo

E/Mo (the very first beta) simply because I wanted energy to heal with and monks looked like fruitcakes with their tattoos.
Not to mention, I had awesome firepower while healing. lol

My ingame name got carried over even when everything was wiped to reset the serer for release, so I just remade it.

W/R can be good... some people choose it just for the troll ungent.

----------------

I was always into the Paladin style character, but when I got Guild Wars I wanted to try something totally different, so I went with a N/Me (The minions were the deciding factor... though i don't even use death magic anymore xD, and i liked how Mezes are described as uber manupilative, this also perks my interest.)

I still have her, she's my only charry that's ascended, but she's now a N/E, because I didn't like the Me part... (I do like messes, just didn't fit with my build.)

I now have a mesmer/necro because I noticed how annoying it is when u have loadsa conditions and hexes on u so i decided a dom/ curse char would be cool. My mesmer was my 4 char after deleting my ascended monk due to over reliance of other people.!!

My first char was a mes/el. I was able to fast cast fire nuke my way through the early game and respec to pure mesmer once I got to late game (armor ignoring nukes 4tw).

at first i hated mesmers as i could not see the point in something that wheres a mask as armour but I decided to try one and i realised how much the mesmer can control the battle field. if I join a HOH team with anything other than my mes i will always say get a domination mesmer!!!

I currently have a second character, level 13 Mesmer/Necro. She have 8 attribute point set on Domination magic, 5 on fast casting, and 6 on illusion (with help of some minor runes) I notice that whenever i fight huge group of enemies, i can quickly drain their health or use chaos storm than other team memebers can kill them in just matter of second.

I started off as a Nec/Warrior, thinking that I would be a blade wielding death master phenom.

Little did I know, the only thing that matters is skill, and N/W is a shitty combo. Unless you use Boenetti's alot... but who knows.

Yep, I've still got him. Except now he's arbitrarily a Me/N.

For a while, I went Domination/Illusion (even back then, I didn't use many elementalist skills...), but then I realized I needed more energy. So I went Domination/Inspiration. With Fast Casting, of course.

When I was learning about the game, before I got it, I looked over all the professions and most of the skills. Mesmers seemed rather swift (fast casting), and they had some nice subtle skills, along with flat-out controlling ones (Power Block says NO!).

Let me be the first to post a...

W/N!!!

I disliked the idea of a paladin... [damn W/Mo] I wanted something that was anti-paladin. Something that was the polar opposite of a holy knight, a death night vampire!!!

Yes, my first Character was a Blood Magic W/N. Later on, I learned with the help of Sauleteus Rex and a number of old timers here [who I never hear from anymore ;_;] that it's just toooo expensive to heal damage away... Instead, why not REDUCE damage you eat?!

So now, I'm the HIGHLY EFFICIENT Gryphon farming Aataxe Tanking Cursed W/N. [who can devour chicken-shit self-healing W/Mos in pvp for breakfast...^_^]

Oh yeah...

edit* oh yeah, I've been playing since the World Preview Event last October so I've got a good feel for this game now I'd like to say...
