i noticed on one of my chars that i played during the NF preview on Sat that i no longer have a secondary profession. Ive seen a few random people with this same problem and they didnt even realize till i msged them about it..Skills GONE, Att's for sec prof GONE im not sure what happened, but theres a slight chance that during the preview when they had the choice filter which let you pick from your Primary only or Both professions( it was in the skills tab) and i may have just left it on my primary only and when they removed NF it did not put me back to my Mo/N status i now amd just a Mo with no secondary all 3 of my other chars are fine

anyone else noticing this

Hmmm dunno what you could do? Maybe get ascended and add/change the class...did it take away attribute points totally or just remove them from the N attributes?

Seems if you got a secondary with the update, you lost it after the update.

Just get the profession the right way >_>

During the Nightfall preview your skills window had a dropdown list in it where you could change your secondary. I suspect that at some point you set yourself to no secondary and now that the preview is done, that list went poof. Wait till you get to the desert and ascend or become closer to the stars in cantha and see if you can get the secondary back, or goto support.guildwars.com and POLITELY describe your issue.

Ok...go to the Skills menu and click on the little drop down with your professions name on it. Your secondary should be there. I totally abused this cool new option with my Heroes. I had Koss as a Warrior/Dervish. Koss with a Scythe totally rocked!

the fact that this is possible is something I am very happy about.. I hate having a second profession on a monk... When I monk I am a pure monk... I rarely have a use for anythign in a secondary anyway, so why bother showing it?

I have talked to several people in game who are haveing the same problem. They have tried desert secondary changers, they have tried temple of blathazar, but nothing works. I will suggest the same thing to you as I did them, wait till tuesday and if Anet hasn't fixed it, politly send them an e-mail explaning your situation.
Good Luck

YOu said you aren't ascended, or anything.

So I had to assume you got your other secondaries from the update, and when the update left, you got stuck with no secondary.

I suggested that you ascend and try to get the secondaries the normal ways to see if it fixes it.

But the guy above me said that didnt work, so just contact support.

Haha damn this is why I kept a secondary I knew something like that would happen and really didn't want to take the risk.

Even though I have all secondary professions unlocked I didn’t no whether changing in the desert would do any good since I would have changed using a feature that is no longer present in game.

I’m sure it will be fixed sooner or later, if Anet knew that people couldn’t regain the second prof then they will more than likely be working on it and if not send a ticket in and I’m sure it will be fixed.

Least if its not you only have to wait a month right?

Hah good marketing technique to make you get nightfall however. :P

Wow, I figured this would happen so I didn't leave any chars as a single profession. Also worked great on heroes.

Too bad they didn't let us keep the change.

Anet is evil! Why did they remove the feature of changing our secondary profs and attributes etc. I <3 this feature, it saved me porting to senji's corner or temp. balth to change my second prof. they should let us keep this feature becuz its very convinent for the player, he/she doesnt have to leave a group just to change their secondary.

I left my character as single profession but after reading this thread went to check if there were any issues

--- found no issues ---

I went to Senjis Corner, took monk for a 2nd prof, all my skills are there

well i sent a report to Anet hopfully they reply within a day or 2 and let me know what i can do to fix this...temple does nothing i have to be ascended first to change my prof there or "closer the the stars" w/e the hell that means

i was afk for about 6 hours ingame i had people pmin me asking me how am i only 1 proffession since the title above my head is just Mo

i agree that i dont even use my secondary necro prof at all but i thought it was cause for concern for poeple who dual prof and may have been stuck in this situation i figured i would make it public for anyone else who may experience this.

i never changed my sec prof while the preview was live i ran a few people through some missions in the jungle and that was it i logged off and came back monday to see my secondary was gone i didnt even try the new classes or anything

I've got the same problem, I emailed ANET and this is the reply I got:-

Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.

We appreciate you sharing your concerns with us on this potential issue. We have determined that this issue is not a bug, and that the game is working as designed.

You will need to do the appropriate quest to gain the Ranger as your secondary class again.

Funny thing is, you carn't do the quest again. There is definitely a bug in the game.

you know the funniest part? they dont care that you dont have a secondary prof, but if they were to find out that the guy above still had a Mo/D theyd be flipping out jumping over each other trying to figure out how to fix it.*mass dev chaos ftw*

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

Go back in to your support ticket and update it. Tell them again what the problem is and that their automated response did not fix the problem. If necessary, take a screen shot of your character's attributes and stuff from the "hero" box.

Dang- I really liked being able to flip back and forth between N/Mo and N/Me on the fly. It saved me a trip to the desert. Oh well, kind of like the 2ndry storage upgrade, You will get it when you buy nightfall....

You don't have to wait for NF, either in the desert or at Senji's Corner in Factions you can change your 2nd profession. Or they might be fixing it as another update since people have NF professions still that shouldn't have them, either way you don't have to wait.

Because in PvP, it can create speculation on what you might have up your sleeve. Say you have only every used 5 skills in a GvG. The enemy has no chance of knowing the last 3. If you are only Mo, they will only have 100 or so skills to speculate about. If you are a Mo/R however, even if you go pure monk, the enemy will speculate a lot about what in the world those last 3 skills could be.
The first law of warfare: Know thine enemy
If you have a secondary, the enemy will have a harder time knowing you.

Besides that point, pure monk is not very effective. If you want to survive tougher battles, you should really invest in a Me secondary with Channeling, in order to keep your energy level up.
