I think that TA and HA need to have a Secondary Profession changer NPC so that PvE characters are able to change to fit the builds needed without leaving the group to go to Great Temple.

And before you start flaming on the thought of PvE chars in TA and HA, consider this:

There's no reason to waste a character slot on a PvP-only Ritualist if your PvE Ritualist has every Rt skill unlocked, every Rt elite capped and the secondary profession skills unlocked for all of the popular builds. Of course there's always the possibility of the team leader asking you to play some obscure build that requires a skill you never thought would be needed for a Rt build, but that could easily be solved by adding a PvE skill trainer NPC as well.

Any thoughts? Has any one else had the problem of needing to leave a group just to change secondary even though you have everything needed to play the build?

Yes, there is- you can make perf items... No more going to GToB to change your class... and if you make a pvp rit, play with it and decide you need 1 more slot on your pve char- you just delete pvp...

Ok.. about perf items... my ritualist has perfect item sets for any build I'd need to run with her and a complete set of 15k Kurzick armor complete with Superior runes of each attribute on each respective headpiece, superior vigor runes on the chestpieces, +armor w/ x-spirits for when I'm spamming, etc...

About your saying go to GToB to change your class.... that's what this whole thread is about!!! Yes... making a PvP only char avoids that althogether but that's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is to NOT have to do that with a PvE char. Perhaps you missed that point.

Yes, I'm aware that I can make a PvP only char and just delete it... but I don't want to do that as I use my PvP chars as mules for my trading "business" and like I said... theres no point in having 2 Rts when my PvE rt can do absolutely anything I need her to in PvP.

You're wrong about that... PvE chars must be ascended or closer to the stars in order to change their secondary profession and even then they must talk to a profession changers and pay 500gold. Pressing K to change secondary is for PvP chars.

No, you're completely wrong. Once any PvE character has either done the quests (Prophecies), or spoken to a changer, they can change to that secondary in any outpost at any time.

You can see my PvE ele can change at will in Kamadan, definately not a PvP area.

No, you're wrong. PvE characters can press K to change their secondary profession. I do it all of the time in both PvE towns and PvP areas.

PvE characters can change their secondary by pressing K and selecting it on that drop-down menu PROVIDED that they've unlocked that 2ndary at a proffession changer already.

There.

Pay 500 per class...
You don't want to pay?
Go to Crystal Desert and Ascend, you'll get 5..6 free secondary classes.

Once you have paid, you can change anytime.

like most of the posters, I also don't see a need for it. You can press K to instantly change your 2ndary to a profession you've already unlocked with the character. If you haven't unlocked it yet and need leave to find a profession changer, then it's unlikely that you will have the skills needed for the build your team wants anyways, so you'd still have to leave to go buy the skills.

Also, I'm not sure I'd still want that person on my team if they had to leave to go change to a profession they hadn't used before and go buy a skill they'd never used before. How effective/knowledgable are they going to be with that skill? Yes, I know that they could have used it on a different character, but still they haven't used with this particular character and with this character's weapons and primary skills.

I just unlock all the profession once i get to where I can (the desert in prophecies, the place in factions...). That way you can change whenever.

Besides, if you want to play PvP, you should be working to get all the skills unlocked anyways.

A skill trainer in those places would be nice though, instead of having to go to your GH or something.
