in PvE, anything goes, i usually go for assassin as secondary, cause dash is sweet to use to rush from target to target. But seriously, anything goes.

In nightfall you really dont have far to go before you can change your secondary profession.
Teach your char all secondaries once you have the chance to do so. Monk is nice for extra healing and smiting Ranger gives you some nice speed bosts and poison + a pet option Mesmer is nice for extra interupts and to remove/inflict hexes Elementalist for extra armor or dmg with the conjure fire/frost/lightning Necro for extra degen and life stealing + teleporting Assasin for shadow step and a nice heal skill Feigned Neutrality Ritualist for weapon spells or cheep spirits like Pain can be good too Dervish brings nice healing + some melee attacks like Banishing Strike Paragon for the chants/shouts In the end youll find that each secondary suits a particular map best and will most likely want to pick up a few skills for all of them. Remeber that when you use a Hero Skill trainer you also learn those skills |

im not understanding something, even if you have a second job you can learn all jobs skills, or some of every job?

You can learn primary and secondary profession skills, but there comes a point in the game where you can trade your secondary profession for another.
If you're just getting started a warrior/monk (Wammo) is probably your best bet. You can get fancy with other secondaries later, after you've learned the game somewhat. |

^^ just to clarify, in case the OP doesn't understand, when he said "trade" your secondary, it's not a one time thing either. After you unlock all the other secondaries, you have the freedom to change your secondary, at will, repeatedly.
When you unlock skills for one secondary, they stay unlocked. So, for example, let's say you are W/Mo and have unlocked some healing skills. Then later you change to W/R and unlock some experitise skills. If you switch back to W/Mo later, the skills you unlocked will still be unlocked and available. But you can only use skills at any given time that are for your primary or secondary profession. But most people who have played the game a while are often switching their secondary depending on what they are going to be working on at that time. So really, for now, what you take won't matter alot in the long run. But it's what you'll be stuck with until you unlock the other secondaries. In that case, I also recommend W/Mo to start, because the Monk healing skills are very useful when you are new and working through the game and learning. |

Hi pimba,
Just to add on what the others have said:
One advice is that as your Primary Profession dictates that type of armor, energy pool/regeneration, runes that are available to you, you're pretty much still confined as playing a Warrior. You'll be using Warrior primarily and a secondary profession is simply there to offer you additional skills (outside your primary profession) to complement your role as a Warrior. It takes abit of trial and error in the beginning but you can go ahead and try different secondaries as you pleased (since you won't risk losing anything). Some secondaries may not be favored by the majority but this is more of a personal preference if you're a casual PvE player; some secondaries are better in certain areas too. I'd say try them all out and see which you feel sits best with you. |

One last point is that most people will only make use of one Attribute from there secondary. So if you chose monk then your not going to put points in both healing and smiting.
The vast majority of buids utilize only one or two skills from there secondary, with a few exceptions. Visit a priest of balthazar and read over all the skills, then try and pick ones that could compliment your primary war skills. Wich ever profession they lie in will be the one you should go with, keeping in mind that youll have to unlock or cap these skills and that could be a ways into the game. |
