...being down to your last few pixels of health and endurance then, using your last iota of energy, taking the villain out with brawl.
But Brawl doesn't use endurance anymore does it?
...beating down a boss with your Broadsword scrapper to an inch of his life, then putting up your sword and Kicking him to death, because he's not worthy of death by the sword.

4 */Devices Blasters on the 2nd Hero Respec Trial. Back before they lowered the difficulty on the Respec Trials.
Caltrops, Trip Mines, rinse, repeat. Those were some dangerous doorways to walk out of. And Smoke Grenade as soon as the door opened.
The other Blaster, the Defender, the Tank and the Scrapper were elated when something happened to fall at their feet with a sliver of life left.
Ah, the good old days.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Mine is when I was running about on the Thin Red Line(?) in the RWZ, and totally beating down +4 bosses left and right with a Mind/Kin 'Troller. That was so awesome. Over and over...

The new method of storytelling with on-the-spot ally-enemy switching has generally made trip mines so much more awesome and entertaining.
