*'''Notes''': My first Guild Wars character was an elementalist ([[pyromancer]]) named Shadow of Light during the E3 for Everyone event. (Back when [[Incendiary Bonds]] ruled the world.) So, when Guild Wars was finally released, my first character was another Elementalist. |

*'''Proudest moment''': Killing [[Glint]]. This was my final Prophecies bonus for this character. Our team had an interrupt ranger who dropped out half-way into the mission and most of the team wanted to quit then, but I told them that Mesmers could interrupt too. So, we continued on and kicked her butt, thereby finishing off my protector title -- through the magic of time-travel into the future when titles were finally created. |

*'''Notes''': This is my character with the most XP. She's probably my second favorite character to play. And yes, she does use a Critical Barrage build, but I came up with it on my own before I found out it was a popular build :P It was difficult getting parties as an assassin, and henchmen don't behave well if you're constantly shadow-stepping, so I went with the bow and saw that [[Sharpen Daggers]] worked with [[Barrage]], so I used it. (Also, I'm ashamed to admit, my computer is too old to be able to pull off a ''good'' Shadow Arts assassin, since I usually get around 1 frame per second in K City -- if I'm lucky. One works with what one has.) |

*'''Notes''': When I was going through prophecies with Gilgamesh, I saw my first minion master at [[Yak's Bend]] that first month after release. I've wanted to do one ever since, but my W/N just didn't have the energy to do it. Now that I had extra slots, it was my chance. This is just a really fun character to play in PvE. You noticed I have a thing for redheads did you? |
