[edit] The W R E T C H Necromancer /Mesmer

The name is from a poem that is quoted in the movie Groundhog Day, where Andie MacDowell quotes it to Bill Murray out of disgust at his gluttonous, self-centered display in the diner.

"The wretch, all concentered in self,
Living shall forfeit fair reknown,
And doubly dying shall go down
Into the dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."

--Sir Walter Scott

I just thought it was a nice name for a male necromancer, and a nice way to commemorate my wife's and my favorite movie.

This was the first character I created when I was flush with plats, mostly from running, but a little from farming. So he is the only character so far with 15K armor--currently sporting Grotto Tormentor's armor dyed various shades of Black + Blue, to astounding effect, if I say so myself. (I think besides being sharp in Necro style, the color brings out the blue in my mohawk!)

I am looking forward to running the Ruins of the Tomb with WRETCH as MM and Orders necro on B/P teams, and duoing UW as an SS/SV necro.

UPDATE: Yes, indeed, Wretch has done both necro roles in the Tomb Ruins many times, and I seem to make a particular splash in the Orders role there. My long-term ingame friend and guildmate Adrian Monk Ii got me into UW duo runs finally. This is a big reason my necro has the 2nd most XP of any of my characters--and also the main reason my mesmer has Fissure armor!
