The Early Kat Years 20: Ken The Eviscerator and "The Way Is Blocked"

I created Ken The Eviscerator because I was inspired by Jason's minion master and the ability to create boneless creations out of dead bodies (who doesn't?).

One of my favorite quests was "The Way Is Blocked" because I could create endless amounts of minions. Frequently, I would just do that quest for everyone in Yak's Bend who needed it because I was able to summon 30+ minions at a time due to there being no minion cap (the minion cap was added during the release of Factions). I sure miss those days when minion masters were wanted by every single group.

The minion master was also extremely popular during Sorrow's Furnace farms, where a warrior would be bonded up with Life Barrier and other enchantments and carry a "book" to draw all the aggro to them, while elementalists would pound enemies and minion masters created endless minions with no cap.

My brother also created a necromancer too around three years ago named The Dark Desolator (The Dark Desolator is now my assassin). He mainly used it as a minion master and was obsessed with it. However, when the minion cap came he was discouraged and I think one of the main reasons why he quit the game (aside from other things).

Unlock the minion cap Anet!

The Early Kat Years 19: Blackened Shadow's FoW runs

Back in the day, I used to run Power Block mesmer alot and one of my favorite places to farm was the Fissure of Woe. Power Block is a satisfying way of shutting down a target while moving on to a different while as their skills are recharging.

In FoW, Shadow Monks would be left helpless if a healing spell was interrupted by this skill. Elementals would get Power spiked for over 100 damage when they tried to cast a spell.

However, it was very fun to interrupt wurm sieges and warrior healing signets. Because of the long activation times of these skills, it was easy to relax and let them waste their precious time trying to cast until you use your interrupt skills.

It also seemed like Obsidian Shards dropped more frequently back then too. There was one Forgemaster run where I remember over 10 shards dropped!
