Secondary Professions

I have played as an N/E the entire game, but was thinking about changing secondaries just to see if I like a different combo. Is there any penalty to this? I mean I won't lose any of the secondary Elites I've gotten, right? Also if your secondary is Ranger and you switch again - do you lose your pet?? I mean if there's no penalty at all, probably a good idea to be a different secondary depending on what your doing - right??

You can freely switch an infinit number of times with no penalty.
When you switch to a different profession you will get the basic skills for it and any other skills that you want will have to buy or do the profession specific quests.

When you switch back to the original secondary all your skills will be there.
Nothing will be missed.

Switching to a diffrent profession then going back to ranger, you will still have your pet.

You can change secondaries in the desert....it is as follows (the secndary you want corresponds to the profession path)
Seeker's Passage
Nausuan - The Monk's Path
Telius - The Ranger's Path

Heroes' Audience
Zratha Kor - The Necromancer's Path
Cembrien - The Elementalist's Path

Destiny's Gorge
Eulenias - The Mesmer's Path
Agastos the Brave - The Warrior's Path

Cool - thanks I'm defintely gonna experiment than. Have done all of the quests, just haven't switched cause I wasn't sure if anything negative would come out of it...
