During lockdown some friends and I decided to keep ourselves busy by playing Dungeons and Dragons online. We played curse of strahd and I made a light cleric called Ellie. I had such a good time with the character that I decided to make and name a guild wars 2 character after her. I made a guardian because I didn't have one of those at level 80 and started my journey. I got the hero points and went firebrand because I liked the look of it and left her there while I continued on my main. I did my first raid on my BS warrior the other week and saw how a firebrand and scourge could really impact the fight. So I went back to little Ellie and got her geared up in exotics (I'm too poor to do ascended just yet). I learned the rotation, not super well but well enough to get by and set out to kill my most hated enemy, the spider queen in AC. I've died to that thing many a time on many a character and never been able to solo it, until yesterday. It got me a couple of times but I won in the end. So I figured I was having fun on firebrand and how would it translate to Dungeons and Dragons? At first I was set on paladin because guardians do line up quite nicely with them but when I stopped and thought about all that fire, defence and healing output I wound up deciding that light cleric would be the best fit without multiclassing. Then I looked at my character name and realised I'd come full circle.

<3 Dungeons and Dragons Online was the first MMO I worked on as a game designer- I made a bunch of the Epic Destinies, class enhancements, and named items! I'm so happy it's still going and that people are making fun memories there!
It's always nice to see someone talking fondly about it. Now that you're here in GW2, bring your friends and make more fun memories! Welcome!
