Anyone and everyone can post their opinions here: What do you think the best secondary profession to an Assassin is? No need to explain why, just post what you think and perhaps I shall pick that for my secondary.
Sincerely,
Serenity
Opinions on best secondary

So let's have 9 people posting 9 different professions people!
Scorpion Serenity, the entire thing about asking what profession to pick, is explaining why. I can say monk. But it's not.
Depends on the build, location, purpose and metagame, really.

there is no best. there might be a best for a certain area or with a certain build. but if you want a no-maintenance choice that will work alright in most areas with most builds then try monk for mending touch and rebirth.

I find Warrior can be handy-coupled with an assassin's dual strikes, the warrior elite Skull Crack's 10 adrenaline cost is pretty insignificant.
Monk might be handy for Vigerous Spirit, but a monk with a brain brings that.

Mesmer is the best good energy management , echo, Mantra's , Physical & Elemental resistance, Physical Disdraction Mesmer is the best Imo :P

I was just asking opinions. People have their opinions on what profession [they think] is best. I mean, if you want to leave a reply saying "It depends, don't ask for people's opinions" then go ahead, I can't stop you. But just having an honest little survey never hurt anyone. Please don't make this a rough start as a member here...

O and for example for monking u can either choose necro or mesmer for pve and dervish for farming as for warrior mesmer and monk for farming and necro and elementalist for pve and for ranger you can choose mesmer and monk for farming and elementalist for pve and pvp and for elementalist dervish for farming and pvp and mesmer and monk for pve and for necro u can choose mesmer for pvp and pve and monk if u want to have fun with Minions and for mesmer u can choose ele if u hate those slow cast time spells in pve and necro for pvp u can also choose monk if u prefer quick healing or farming in UW and for assassin A/W for boa and watch urself in pvp and pve and monk if u want a better self heal like vigo spirit and for rit choose ranger to quick up the recharge of ur spirits with serpents quickness and then we have dervish u might choose monk if u have quite some points in mysticem and choose necro if u want to transfer those nasty conditions and last but not least the paragon the one and only good second for that is warrior for watch urself and the ToF tank ftw.

0-monk
1-warrior
2-dervish

for the rest of the class
Do a /roll 8
That will be your sec profession.
You should trial and error all possible classes for secondary and you will surely win the best secondary class that suit you. Like most of the people said here, different people have different views on this. It would be better for you to explore the secondary class yourself.

Pick Me
My opinion is any/all/none. A true Assassin needs no other profession to aid it.
If I had to choose (gun is being pointed at my head), then Warrior.

For sheer variety of what a secondary can offer, warrior. IAS, defense, stance breakers, adrenaline output and more.
Diddy bow
I like warrior for ias, derv for running and monk for mending...touch. Mesmer can be handy too (ever lasting shadow form!!). But they are all usful there is no best :P.
isamu kurosawa
none. A/X is what i run mostly.

Well, when you're starting a PvE character I don't think it matters much, as most of the time you're using only assassin skills. For farming, Elementalist seems to be the most popular althought its not the only secondary used for that.
PvP-wise though, the wide variety of builds make it impossible to tell which secondary is superior for us sins, IMO.

I use an A/E and I have to say I love it. the Elementalist skills add a bit of diversity to the Assassin job. I don't know how other A/ feel about it but I realy like the feel you get access to some very usefull skills for PvE
ll goose unit ll
I'm trying out A/R since pets are cool.. + Beast mastery IAS ^ skills.. other sie usually just run pure assasin

I never said what you can or can't think. Since my reply was not directed to you at all. But you did give an opinion, you said none. Thank you for your opinion, k bye.

I didn't send you a PM though. I'm sorry you're so sick of it, but there isn't much I can do about that. I don't get any PMs, and I probably won't get any for a while. Perhaps because I have no friends on here either. So I'm trying to be as nice as I can to everyone, please accept my appology.

Well, you seem like a nice person, just sick of some things. Perhaps you can be the one to help me out around here? I don't want to be making mistakes left and right so others get mad at me. Can you?

Just lurk the forums, you'll see.

I guess. But I want to start selling my artwork. I need gold badly... XD

I'm getting tired of these people who try to be smart by saying: 'all professions are equal, the effectiveness of skills depends on location/attribute/etc. , obviously this is completely correct BUT if people ask for OPINIONS, don't be such a smartass and just tell them what u prefer.
Don't tell me that's your opinion because u ALWAYS prefer something over the other, if u don't u are not HUMAN.

Pericles, that's not the point here. The point is it depends on what your objective is. PvE tank? Some dervish enchants do good. PvP spiker? Use IAS from /W. Caster? Use /E for Gole or /Me for some e-management. The OP didn't state what environment he usually is in. Or what kind of gameplay he prefers That makes it impossible to say what secondary is best. It all depends on the other variables.
Scorpion Serenity
There is only one game that has the Assassin in it, Factions. It should be pretty obvious that it's a new character unable to change professions when I want it to. Conditions should be obvious to whoever has factions and knows the game conditions. And it is a PvE character. And the OP, or she, prefers PvE. I hope I made that clear now.

Sincerely,
Serenity No explanation? Hm...I guess I'll pick necromancer because it's the best secondary for sins.

I'd say necromancer for plague touch, or monk for a reuseable res.
