All in the title

what if you had three professions, or one primary and two secondary?

Straight away i start thinking 55/SS/Echo or something ^^
So, what godmode combo would appear?

btw, this is NOT a suggestion, but a discussion, which is why it's not in Sardelac

ps: completely unrelated, but best quote ive seen in a while:

If I adhded three professions times 2 professions x5, it'd be a number I couldn't figure out cause I just confused myself.

It'd be pretty cool I suppose. I'd be able to have Rez, Firestorm and Gash!

Oh damn you fixed the title...

If we could have 3 proffessions you'd see alot more non-attribute skills and every bar would be even more crammed full with skills than they already are.
Please keep 3 proffessions out of GW, think of the monks

hmmm I would prolly have R/Ele/Mo or Me/N/Mo or Mo/Me/Derv. Agreed that should not be put into the game but still fun to talk about.

I already use 3, 4 or even 5 professions at once. For free, no attribute points needed for maximum effectiveness: PVE SKILLS!

Last time i checked i have 3 professions since PvE skills emulate (and surpass) most of "killer" skills from secondaries.

Anyway, I would like x/x/E for casters - GoLe ftw.

A/D/W would be interesting - Crictial hammer with some 1/2 attacks.
A/W/R - Critical thumper x.x

N/Rt/Me or Mo - add hex removal to resto necro.

Rt/N/Mo - explosive bomber with new toy - dwaynas sorrow.

P/Rt/W - spliter barrage with SY! P/Rt/P - with gfte.

So ... much .... imba ... possibilities

There aren't really enough attribute points to split among three professions. I very rarely see a build that puts more than a token leftover investment in more than one line in their secondary profession. (I know they exist, but they aren't common.)

So yes, what you'd largely see is a rise in the use of unlinked skills - where pretty much the only cost apart from the slot on your bar is that they require you to take that profession.

I suspect you'd also see a much larger proportion of //Mos - /Mo is a popular option even now for characters that aren't using their secondary just for the hard res. Introducing the option to triple-class will mean people will be able to do that even if they need a specific secondary profession, and it'll only be the rare character that actually needs the third profession that need to carry sigs.

Should the first P in each of those be an R?

The only thing keeping Hamstorm in check all this time has been lack of Mending.

Yeah but there are quite a lot of skills that don't require attributes to be effective.

[skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill]
[skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]

On a warrior. Thinking outside the box in PvP, Flail, even at zero strength, can be real nice on a R/W who has no adrenaline costs (basically a free IAS).

Not really.
It's a self-snare and only good on hammers.

Besides, if you wanted IAS, take RaO and go thumper. IAS and Speedboost unstrippable all in 1.

I meant a R/W with a bow. Self snare is bad on any melee character, but when you don't have to move to keep up with your targets and can just stand there, its fine. If a melee unit starts attacking you and you need to kite for a while, switch on nature stride.
