As both my first character, and my main character, I have played on Marin for the longest and probably the most. I commonly use him for farming and PvP. He has completed the Nightfall, Factions, and Prophecies storylines but has yet to complete the Titan quests at the end of the Tyrian campaign or the Domain of Anguish at the end of the Elonian campaign. I like to take him into the FoW or the UW occasionally, but mostly I use him for other tasks like going through the Domain of Anguish as a BiP. He is currently focused on capturing elites to gain the skill hunter title tracks for each campaign.

This was the very first character I made when I got Factions. Generally acts as a spirit spammer or a restorer in PvE play. He has beaten the Factions campaign but I don't think I will take him through Prophecies as it realy wouldn't be much use to him, as he is a Ritualist and can't capture any elites there. I take him into UW and FoW more often than Marin as he can go support very easily and have less chance of dying :).

I had originally intended for this character to be purely a Ghial farmer, but I grew attached to him and so I kept him. He now has the role of Tank, Droks Runner, Farmer, and PvE player all in one. He is most of the way through Factions and I ran him through Prophecies to cap some elites. I also got him about halfway through NF.

Empty was my primary farmer (over Marin) until they nerfed soloing but I still enjoy taking him through the storyline and sightseeing in the Desolation and the Shiverpeaks. He has moved on from his unsightly obsession with Earth Magic and moved on to the more pwny Fire Magic. He has moved through all of Echovald and the Jade Sea as well as just getting to the Gate of Pain in NF. I didn't have the patience to go through Prophecies over again so i simply got ran most of the way through to capture some elites.

The Rant
These are a few random thoughts of mine. Feel free to respond to them if you see fit on the discussion page.


 * Why is it that Arena Net has to nerf everything as soon as players find out they can play more effectively if they use a certain base skillbar? What's wrong with people repeatedly killing monsters?


 * Love the art in the Crystal Desert, Shiverpeaks, Desolation, and Istan. Simply incredible.


 * Every campaign, there seems to be more and more revealing armor. What is with that?


 * Great concepts and art on some of the monsters in-game Anet congrats. (Tengu, Afflicted, Shiroken, Djinn, etc.)


 * Male Necromancer dance has got to be the best in game so far. Dervish and Paragon are just plain messed up.


 * The September 14, 2006 update on the Ritualist skill update was totally uncalled for. It's abusing Ritualist's right to protect their team members from spikes.


 * An while we're on the subject of spikes, why is it that some monsters can spike but whenever players do Anet updates the skills in the spike so players cant use it anymore? That doesn't make much sense.


 * Players should be able to capture monster skills. Maybe have it set up so you can only have one in your skill bar at a time and other restrictions apply. You could even make a new title for the number of monster skills you have capped.


 * The restrictions on MMs suck. Get rid of the Minion limit and have instead more skills with the neglected Holy damage.


 * THANK YOU GRENTH!!!! THEY UNNERFED SOLO FARMING!!!!!

Marin's Skill Capture
I'm working on getting Marin to the max Skill Hunter Title. These are the Elites he has so far:
