Has anyone tried it? I'm currently trying this out. Y'see, I started a Nightfall character and did all the quests up 'till "Secondary Training". Then I went to Lion's Arch, then from LA I went to Kaineng and bought max armor using the money/materials from my storage.
If I'm correct, doing quests in the two campaigns will allow me to reach level 20 without a second profession.
I'm also hoping to be able to finish the Nightfall campaign, but I doubt it's possible.
My character is currently level 7. Wish me luck. :P

You can easily go without a second profession for as long as you like, but a secondary helps, depending on the class though. My once-guild leader had a Ritualist with no secondary for a very long time, with Protector of Tyria, 15k armor, and he was a staple of our FoW/UW teams. Which class are you?

you will need secondary to complete the campaign you started in because there will be a primary quest you have to complete to continue in the game

When I first started (over a year 1/2 ago) I played through most of Prophercies without even using my second profession skills.
Nearly 2 years on and I still dont much. I might add the odd mesma skill in to echo, monk still to res or heal, or try some wacky build in FA, but 95% of the time I use my main profession skills only.
You probably meant playing without even choosing a second profession, but its the same kind of.
[edit]
Actually I just realised.... thats why my "profession" on my profile says "E/?" with no defined secondary. I change it so much because I only ever use 1 secondary skill most times, if at all.

I only use secondary profession skills for specific and rare challenges, but most the time I find that a primary profession with a good library of collected skills can cope just fine.
But, as Freek said, you are required to choose a secondary but you are not required to use secondary skills.

When I play PvP, I usually forget to select a secondary skill. And if I do select one, I just take one to confuse people. Rt/A for a healing rit for example, ppl expect a Spirit Strength assasin and stay away from you, or cast Empathy and stuff.
Anyway, usually 1 class only characters have really strong skills, since they just lean on their primary profession and dont waste attribute points.
My ranger only uses his /Mo for ressurection, as most of my /Mo builds.

I see where you are coming from...
Yeah, with Nightfall being the way it is, you can potentially finish Prophecies and Factions single classed. Start in Nightfall don't pick a secondary do everything you can until you hit that quest wall, get a runner to take you to the other campaigns and keep going. You will need to pick a secondary for nightfall however. The gate on the Docks mission will bump you from continuing.

First off, he's a Ranger. R/. That's it. :P
Second off, after getting ran to Ascalon, it seems I'm allowed to do "The Great Northern Wall" mission. This is great--I'm level 7, a good level for it.

yeah, you will get xp but not the skill points for finishing missions prior to the seaboard.....you can do them all and kill the stuff there....go for it!

I just noticed that today. >_>
Oh well. Maximum armor, no XP reward...I'll have to get my XP from killing enemies instead.
