Ideal Secondary Profession?

By money i meant in-game cash, sorry, should've made that clear!

I gave gwpvx a look, but everything just seemed.. Confusing. I didn't understand anything i was looking at, all this "Bomber" stuff, all i can think of is that it's to do with nuking, that's all i managed to get for it, there's no real identification on what would be more suitable for what i'm after though.#

I'm mostly after something that can take quite a beating and is able to hold his own against some of the harder content the game has to offer, for this i'm thinking maybe a Ritualist & Warrior would be the more ideal choice? Would choosing a warrior as my secondary profession even change anything? BY giving me more defencive abilities or letting me wear plate armor for example?

Thanks for the swift replies!

Same armor, as I mentioned earlier assassin has the best low level defencive abilities.

Ok, thanks for the answer! :-) Appreciate it!

I'd be tempted to go either Rt/Me for energy management or Rt/A personally.

Although, as has been said, at this point it doesn't really matter which you choose, just pick one which appeals to you.

Personally I chose Rt/Me when I created my ritualist, but I knew where I wanted to go with it already.

paying gold for changing professions isn't a really bad thing. first cause it is for unlocking, so you you only have to pay it once for every secondary profession (beside your first secondary wich is unlocked for free), secondly cause have unlocked every profession makes it easier to load builds. besides that, it doesn't cost too much to unlock different secondairy's.

So you pick your secondairy profession only for the first part of the game (beside prophecy's it isn't really far in the game).

Some do not's when it comes to picking a secondairy profession.
1: pick monk so you can heal yourself (not advisable in most cases, as a warrior you have to expect being mocked on a lot).
2: pick ranger so you can bring a pet.

Basicly in the first part of the game it doesn't really matter. best is to not use skills from secondairy professions anyways when you just started the game.

Defense? Assassin? hahahaha. Don't waste your secondary for such crap, thats why you travel in teams. Let healers and prot buffers handle defense.

The only build rits have that really utilize their secondary (other than AP which is MUCH later in the game) is a Rit/Necromancer minion bomber. Its a decent gimmick and can be run at low levels if thats your thing. Every other Rit build uses 100% rit skills or nearly so.

Really, your secondary doesn't matter. As a new player you should use exactly 0 skills from your secondary until you are very experienced and know what you are doing, because 99% of the skills your could use from your secondary are worse than what you could use from your primary. This is doubly certain at lower levels, because you don't have the attribute points to split and do multiple things.

The point at which you can change professions is just a little after you get to lvl 20, which is 5-15 hours into the campaign depending on how fast you go.

I say, choose secondary by the skills you want, especially the pve-only skills. For instance, Necrosis (Sunspear) deals 80 damage and has a 2 second recharge. Sunspear and Allegiance skills are usually profession dependent.

Yeah, as others mention here it's just 5 platinum you have to pay in order to unlock all profession for a character. So it's not really that big of a deal

When you have a full stable of Heroes, it is nice to have the elite skills available. You can capture them from a defeated boss, but only if you have that profession. I like to switch professions depending on what I need to accomplish. If you want a cool pet for your Ranger alter ego, or just like trying out the other skills. I do use Necromancer a lot, even for my Heroes.

have fun!
