"Best of" for 2005

[Sebryn]

Well folks, as the year winds down to a close, let's try and look back on everything that's happened over the past year of 2005:

Okay, well you can do that on your own... I'm sure we all have several vivid memories of this year's comings and goings. Be that as it may, we haven't had a good "who's who" for the best of each class/cabal in a while, so I thought maybe we could get some opinions as to who stuck out in everybody's minds this year.

If you need to, take a glance in the Graveyard for old deleted/condead players, or dig up some of your old logs to see who socked it to you, or who you enjoyed sitting around chatting with.

So without much further ado, copy/paste this list and put your own choices down, and let's see who stuck out in everybody's mind (keep in mind, we're trying to just look at '05 here... someone else can start an "ALL-TIME" thread if they want):

[Davairus]

Well..Anaroth shouldnt be getting ranger nominations. They've been changed too much. Like, he wasnt really using pets to preserve stealth, but he used throw a lot, and also relied on the ability to camo to stealth around and keep him alive. Very importantly, he had a non-nerfed spellturning and major globe, as well as a way more effective herb skill of course. Now everything on that list has changed ...and there's bow skills, double disarms, hobble and dirt to ruin shit. Its like he's from a different age. Aranoth died when bows and counterbalance were new to the realms. In January.

You should probably be nominating Nychlas who's from the new generation of rangers.
