Hi, I'm new to Guild Wars. I just ordered the game online and have yet to play it for the first time. I come from WoW, where there was no secondary Profession (or Class rather, in their case), so it is something completely new to me.

I was just wondering, if I chose to be a Mesmer, could I choose Ranger as a Secondary and still be able to have a pet? Is that even a good idea - Mesmer and Ranger combined? If not, then I guess I could always have a Ranger as a second character.

So which Secondary Professions would go well with a Mesmer in your opinions?


Thanks!

Yes you could have a pet with /R

Me/R wouldnt be too effective really..

Me/E is nice..for Energy Management and such. (Or fast cast nuking )

Any questions just ask

Hi there and welcome.

Yeah, you could start a Me/R and still have a pet. It was discussed in a thread a few days ago. Here's the link:http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10259976.

As you can see, there may be some better options out there, depending on your play style.

And don't play fast cast nuker. Everytime someone does, a kitten is killed.

Ahh, yeah that could be a lot of fun. Thanks! I think I may try that actually.

I read somewhere that a Ranger and a Necromancer go well together. If I have a second character that's a Ranger, should I choose that as a Secondary?


EDIT: Awesome, thanks very much for getting that link for me.
Aw hehe. Poor kitten. Never knew what hit him.

REDIT: Ah, sounds like Monk is a good choice also. The ability to Rez would be very nice. Hmm...

True. I love Backfire-ing people that do that though. Especially when they cast right through...

Epic lolz.

You can change your secondary profession as your char progresses. So it doesnt matter to much what you choose in the first place.
