I took Klojamir into Nightfall today to get a few missions completed. I did Kodonur Crossroads, Pogahn Passage, and Rilohn Refuge. I did Kodonur Crossroads and Pogahn Passage with heroes and henchies. It wasn't a problem at all, just go in slow and take everything apart piece by piece. I had to go with a PUG (Pick-Up Group) for the Rilohn Refuge mission. You need to have Master of Wispers to get into this mission, and I chose the opposite path the gave me Magrid the Sly as a hero. So getting into a PUG that already had Master of Wispers was my only option (for now) to finish it. I was totally surprised that we got masters on it. I have been through that mission a few times with my other nightfall character (paragon) and never once got into a group that could do masters. So getting it the first time was a nice surprise.
I really have been putting off taking Klojamir into Nightfall. I have no idea why other than maybe I did it once and didn't feel the need to do it again. But it really would be nice to take Klojamir anywhere in GW. My friends and family will eventually get all of the campaigns so I might as well get my monk through there as well so I can help out when the time comes. Plus the big bonus is getting another max title for the Protector deal. My brother has taken his main character through all of Prophecies, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. It's pretty nice having him come along with the same character all the time. It just fits right. I know exactly how he runs the character and what I need to do to help make it easier to get a mission finished. If I have to help in nightfall I have to bring my Paragon along which is alright but my play style changes and sometimes that is difficult to get used to. Plus we have to rely on Heroes to do the healing. That's fine and all. but it's really nice have a real person do the healing.
I helped another guildie tonight with the Aura Glade mission in Phophecies. This time was like the last time. Not to difficult I didn't go for the bonus this time. We weren't set up for it and he didn't care weather we got it or not. So we just went with attuning the three pedestals and got it over with.

Running Maguuma Jungle
A couple of guildies and I ran a few missions in the Maguuma Jungle tonight. I have been through there a couple of times running Klojamir and my sons warrior, so I was pretty familiar with the missions. One of our guild members hadn't been through there so we ran 3 of the missions with him. We ran Aurora Glade, Riverside Province, and Sanctum Cay. We ran with an interrupter ranger, warrior, and Klojamir of course was the monk, he is set up as a straight healer with no prot. We took a couple heroes along as well. We took Jora for some melee damage, Olias set as a minion master, and we added Melonnie for some added melee damage so we could plow through a little faster. We got the bonus on all 3 missions so that was pretty nice. They really aren't that difficult, but we ended up running Sanctum Cay twice because at the end of the first time we messed up and didn't get to Vizier Khilbron soon enough. He didn't stand long against 6-7 White Mantle. We were trying to complete the bonus and accidentally got to close to the boat which activated Vizier and the White Mantle. The second time through was pretty quick considering we didn't have to worry about the spirit and the bonus. All in all it went really well.
I really enjoy being the healer in the group. It's true I do not get to see most of the action and the cool affects, but for me it gets pretty intense trying to keep the health bars full. I find that a lot of the time I don't see anything but the health bars for an entire mission. So when someone asks which way did you go here or there, I kinda have to shrug my shoulders. I usually end up doing a mission a few times so eventually I get to know my way around. My brother runs a warrior and is pretty good at it, so I kind of just follow his lead and try keeping up and keep him alive. On my other account I run as a Minion Master. Both the monk and the MM (Minion Master) are both caster classes, but they are played in 2 totally different ways. For me as a MM I concentrate on my minions alone and nothing else. I watch all of the bodies that are falling so I can snag up as many minions as possible. I have notice that I can focus on what is actually going on and even target the next target. I like the fact that I can call out who is going to be hit next. With the monk I have no time to look and see which target is next. If I take my eyes off the health bars..... Olias will be pulling his next minion out of my own group.

Getting Started
Well I decided to try out the Blogging deal. I really am clueless when it comes to this so for a while it will be a little sketchy. I am not even close to being a writer so generally you will just see random thought spilled out so you can read.
I have been playing Guild Wars for a little over a year now and really enjoy the game. for those of you who are not familiar with the game it is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Which means of course you end up playing a game on the Internet with about 2-3 million other people.
This game is a little different than the average MMORPG because you are only with other people in towns and outposts. The rest of the time you are on your own. You can choose to be with up to 8 of you friends if you choose. What I mean by that is that when you are in an town or outpost you can meet up with a few of your friends and get into a group and then leave the town together to go complete a quest or mission. Most of the MMORPGs out there let you interact with the other players in nearly every area of that game, which means of course that they can affect your game play. Sometimes that can be good and other times..... well not so good.
The main character that I play is a monk. The monk in GW (Guild Wars) is generally a healing class. Monks can be used for smiting, but generally they are healers. I have 9 other characters on my main account, some of which are just storage units. My son has 5 character on the same account as well. So needless to say we stay quite busy. Within that last month I bought a new computer, so now I am able to play on my alternate account while my son plays on the main account.
What I will be doing is just blogging on what I do in GW, whether it be on my main character or on one of the alts. I hope you enjoy!
