Which 2nd Profession shall I choose for my warrior?

A very commonly asked question,a nd one that has no real answer. Any and all professions can work well in any combination, and warriors are no different. I am going to run through some, but definately not all, the skills each class offers which a warrior can use well:




Elementalist:

Armour Of Earth
Gives you 30 seconds of a huge armour bonus, which is always a good thing for warriors.

Whirlwind
Knocks down (If they are attacking) and damages everyone next to you, especially good with...

Aftershock
Ten energy, hits everyone next to you and whenever someone next to you is knocked down does around double damage! This is especially effective for a knockdown hammer warrior.

Conjure *Element*
Use these spells with an elemental weapon, and it is just like an extra 17 elemental damage a hit, for only 10 energy every minute.




Mesmer:

Inspired Enchantment
Use them to rip off those annoying enchantments those monks throw on themselves, then cast them on you! Beautiful.

Inspired Hex
same as inspired enchantment, except you are taking a hex off youself and giving it back to them!

Power Drain
Got a spellcasters casting a spell you want broken? use this to inturrupt it and gain huge amounts of energy as a bonus.

Illusion Of Weakness
Basically an extra 100-200 health, plus "while enchanted" weapons and offhands rule with this on.




Monk (NOTE: Noobish players have given W/Mos a bad name, so it may be hard getting a TA team as one)

Remove Hex/Smite Hex/Holy veil
Pulls of hexes, and in the case of Holy Veils slows their casting of them.

Purge Conditions
Remove these evil blinds and weaknesses. Now, time to kill that annoying condition spreader.

Succor
Use only signets, adrenaline and this. Cast it on some spellcasters, 2 of them, then run in and kill everything, your high energy spells backing you up.

Strength Of Honour
+7-11 damage per hit is always useful.

Judges Insight
It means you get 20% armour penetration ALWAYS (Take that sundering mods) and do holy damage, which very few things ahve armour against and some necros even take extra damage!

NOTE: Monk is also used for running (Running past enemies without fighting from one place to another) and farming (Killing certain enemies with only yourself and maybe a few henchies to get gold).




Necromancer

Plague Touch
For only 5 energy, give them back their own condition! Whats more, it is spammable, so you can use it as long as you have energy.

Enfeeble
Give enemy warriors weakness, meaning they do next to no damage.

Vampiric Touch
Its rather costly, but its an attack and a heal.

Order Of Pain
Only good when you need to do a quick bit of damage, at the cost of some health you do an extra 10 or so damage for a few hits.





Ranger

Antidote Signet
Removes Poison and Disease, but also the bane of warriors BLINDNESS!!! Its also a signet, so no energy, and you can cast it every 10 seconds!

Apply Poison
This will mean all your weapon hits will poison your foe, and when combined with a multi-strike like Cyclone Axe is is great for mass-poison!

Throw Dirt
Blind your enemy warriors! Buahahahaha.

Traps
Your enemy comes to you, BAM! Conditioned like a madthing.

Melandru's Resilience (Elite Skill)
Warriors are mainly killed by hexes and conditions... This can last up to 15 seconds, has 20 seconds recharge and gives you health AND energy regeneration for every hex or condition on you!

Winnowing
This works for opposing warriors too, but it means all physical damage does an extra 4!






There are, of course, others but these are just samples.




Oh, and you can change your secondary after getting ascended, so if you think you made the wrong choice don't panic!

Nice :)  Lucifer- on 04/03/06 15:12

Nicely made, but i would say that in Necromancer u forgot to add Virulence, with is a very good skill with Warrior as Primary.

  evo_nc on 04/03/06 15:15

as it goes for players going secondary mesmers that there is also physical/elemental resistance that give u stacks of armour so they are also good. also ive tried using the IW build which lets u use high illusion magic to use illusionary weponry which is good against blind/evade grps as they get dmg evrytime u swing doesnt matter if it hits or not.

  Valor Helm on 04/03/06 15:22

Another good thing about Ranger Secondary is that they can use Tiger's Furry. If you think about it, using tiger's furry, with a zealous weapon piece, give you 20% more energy, 33% more damage, and 33% more Adrenaline - Which = EVEN MORE DAMAGE!!

Nice guide. Very well thought out and very helpful! :D

For monks, don't forget Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit. Each heal around 15 health per hit, totaling for 30 health per hit. In other words, four or five attacks is equivalent to a Healing Signet. For Rangers, don't forget that Throw Dirt is Expertise-based, meaning you can't improve it.

You also forgot Sympathic Visage for mesmers, it makes you remove mana and all adrenaline from enemies if you are hit in a melee battle.

If i play warrior/monk i use balt's spirit,mending, and healing breeze
If i use play w/r i also use spirits like pred season and greater conflag(greater conflag especially in the shiverpeak)
If i play w/me i use soothing images and spirit shakles to shut down attacking warriors
If i play warrior necro i throw on mark of pain(especially for large groups)
If i play as ele i usually go with all water and do armor of mist or fist form(elite) or all fire and do searing heat and lava font

if you play w/mo you shouldn't, i always see w/mos in guildwars, but the only reason why you should be w/mo is for mend alignment or something like that. warriors are meant to tank, and monks for healing. Anyways for necro you forgot to add MOP (mark of pain) very good skill when used with cyclone, or trip axe.

I, personally, dont really use second professions for warriors, because they really dont need it, but i like your skill suggestions, nice skills.
