How about an NPC that could change your secondary profession at the battle isle? It would be the same guy as the guy in the desert except we don't need to do 3-4 map travels to reach him if you are in the battles isle and you wanna change your secondary for PvP purposes.

Its annoying to:

Random Arenas -> Lions Arch
Lions Arch -> Seekers/Heros/Destiny
Seekers/Heros/Destiny -> Great Temple of Balthasar
Great Temple of Balthasar -> Random Arenas

Just put a secondary changing NPC in the Great Temple or even in the Hero Status Window.

Although pve characters should still have to do the path quests, I would like to see this done to change your pve character's secondary for quests you have done, and allow pvp chars to change their secondary. But then again, the thing about the pvp chars, is that someone could just choose one of the pre-made builds, change their secondary, and still have all the skills they got by selecting the pre-made build.

So either:

a) Make it so PvE characters can only change their secondary for the quests they've already completed.
b) Make it so PvP characters lose all of the skills that they got as "freebies" when they change their secondary.

Either way,

if you are using a PVE character for pvp than jump through the PVE hoops to do it.

dont ask for a premade pvp characters ability to choose any secondary at will.

Only PVE characters should be allowed this and only in a place where they have completed the quests to change these 2ndaries. No pre-mades or customs at all allowed to use it. Chapter 2 will probably have a place like the desert that will be very near the arenas so when Chapter 2 comes out this will probably be just like it was in Chapter 1. Port to place change port back to arena only two places.

The NPC should be the same as the ones in the desert. If they haven't done Ranger's Path, they shouldn't be able to change into a secondary ranger...

So you still have to do the Paths quests, just don't have to Map Travel all over the place to change it afterwards

PvE chars already have a similar ability. A quick trip to the desert lets you change secondary at will. A PvP char needs to be deleted and remade to change secondarys, I don't see that as being signifigantly faster or easier. (Besides the skills you happen to have unlocked, but thats a given)

The same thing could be used to change secondarys of PvP chars. You can't tell me it's not annoying to remake a pvp-char just to change secondary.

I'd like to see a dialog to change secondary somewhere in the skill list, no npc needed, but I don't see that happening. Maping back to the desert from the battle isles is excessive, and easily avoidable. Even a single npc in the Great Temple would be better than nothing.

This isn't made for PvP chars only, this is something for PvE characters... PvP chars only can just remake their character...

I like the idea in general and support it for PvE and PvP - but would especially like to be able to change secondary at will with my PvP character.

I use that character as a mule and he's constantly loaded down with ectos, weapons, etc. Every inventory slot is filled.

It is a major inconvenience when I want to try a different PvP build. I'm not asking for free skills, but how nice if I could keep the character and not have to spend time moving stuff temporarily to my other 3 characters and then back to the new PvP character.
