we all know that u can be 2 professions in guild wars to give u different variety and stategy in skills..

but what if guild wars only allowed u to be 1 profession like other rpg games...

this would mess up lots of builds but would be kinda interesting..

i like to be 2 professions, but the reason i brought this up is cuz when i bought it i thot u can only be 1..

what u guys think? would u guys like it better this way to give your group more strategy.. and also knowing when u vs a warrior he will ONLY use warrior skills....

i just want to know what u think.....i dont wanna hear any complaints about this just want hear what u guys think....

thx,

I've played my ranger, mesmer, assassin, ele, and warrior all using only primary skills (some more than others). I don't think this makes any character class worthless, but it certainly does cut down on the creativity and variability of the game, which would be a bad thing. All the classes can stand alone, but the fun and challenge come from the combos.

I think that would actually reduce a team's strategic plans. Sure, it produces a different kind of strategy, but it will make things boring a little quicker.

The most interesting part is how to use two professions together. IMO, it would ruin Guild Wars.

when i first got gw i thought the same thing
"man wtf 2 professions, now imma be confused the whole time on which skills of each to use, wtf why cant it just be one itd be easier wtf"
after a lot of playing time and time in observer mode though, i actually cant see how gw would be with just one profession
the 2 professions just makes guild wars, guild wars

well if you could only take one class I'm 100% sure that the class skills wouldn't be the same as they are now, so the quistion makes little sense.

I use mainly my primary skills for my ele and change my secondary only to unlock the elite skills.

This is for unlocking other skills for PvP if you only want to use your primariies then you are free to do so.You might want to look at it this way you have 3 pve char and say each can unlock all skills in game then you have 1 slot free for pvp that is how the game is suppose to work.

Pure warriors ftw!

Anyways, GW wouldnt be half as interesting if you could only be one profession.

Depends really. My Ranger has generally a pure ranger skillset (I tend to use a beastmaster) but when it's handy I'll chuck in some blood magic (usually well of blood in mass death missions like vizhuna square), or some mesmer interrupts for my warrior for Boreas, ect.

A primary class only arena would be fun.

I refuse to play a game with no hamstorm. It's all about the ham.

i kind of wish this would happen. classes have absolutely no uniqueness in this game...we should only be able to choose 1 profession, but have a lot more skills in our skillbar
