It's not that annoying to swap your secondary profession when you're changing stuff on your pve character, but it would sure be nice to have an option to do it under the status screen under 'H'. Quick and painless, instead of teleporting to the desert every time you want to change.

Note that you can only swap to a secundary that you have unlocked, of course.

i agree. esp with me, 56k internet takes ~5 mins to do it. i know it's not too long, but, if i just want to try how a build works vs a monster, i really don't want to have to take 5 more mins to do it.

I agree, it would make it so easy and not painful. I mean it'd just save you time from going to the desert and talking to a person and then coming right back to where you were.

Agreed too. It's a pain having to visit the desert everytime you want to change secondary - especially if you're already in a party, teleport out to change, then can't get back as the district is full (like ToA).

It would also be good if your skill set's were remembered too when swapping professions.

I agree. I'd also like to be able to buy skills for secondaries without having to change classes. Maybe set up skill traders like the priests of balthazar.

What I would also like is this and the ability to save your skills, attribute points and your classes.

Kind of like, hit a button, say Y or something, and then have your secondary and your 8 skills and your attribute points saved under a name, say for an example Paladin Build, W/Mo Runner or Ettin Farmer. Click on it and Presto! you got your skills, your secondary and your attribute points magically set to that build.

Also Guild Wars could have it if you qualify for a certain build it can show up in the list (kind of like the way PVP templates show up) and then also make it where you can download a certain type of file in some kind of directory to have the build show up in your list. So instead of typing out your build you could also include the say .bld file for everyone to download and try out.

Even with a fast internet connection switching secondaries is a pain. YOu normally still have to go to another town with a rune trader after you switch.

This one seems like a no-brainer, and easy to implement. It is a good idea. I agree.
