Given the large number of questions about what good secondary professions for warrior are, I think a thread should be made that details the pro's and con's of each secondary, a few of their important skills, what not to do with the secondary skills, etc...
Any thoughts or suggestions?

This could be a very long list and certainly open to personal likes and dislikes.

Any secondary can work for a war, though some only have a very small pool of skills that a war can utilize effectively.

Ranger: Most usefull skills - [skill]Apply Poison[/skill][skill]Natural Stride[/skill][skill]Poison Tip Signet[/skill][skill]Antidote Signet[/skill]
Less usefull skills are - [skill]Charm Animal[/skill][skill]Comfort Animal[/skill] and pet attacks.

Monk: Most usefull skills - [skill]Dismiss Condition[/skill][skill]Mend Ailment[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Purge Conditions[/skill][skill]Purge Signet[/skill][skill]Remove Hex[/skill]
Less usefull skills are - [skill]Resurrect[/skill][skill]Rebirth[/skill][skill]Resurrection Chant[/skill][skill]Vigorous Spirit[/skill][skill]Empathic Removal[/skill][skill]Signet of Removal[/skill] smite skills have some limited use vs undead.

Necromancer: Most usefull skills - [skill]Plague Touch[/skill][skill]Virulence[/skill][skill]Gaze of Contempt[/skill][skill]Strip Enchantment[/skill]

Less usefull skills - scythe attacks if you wield a scythe, [skill]Onslaught[/skill][skill]Grenth's Grasp[/skill][skill]Vow of Strength[/skill][skill]Ebon Dust Aura[/skill]

There are many skills I've not listed that can be used, but are either less effective or more costly than I preffer on my war. Some of the skills I've listed are likely not liked by all players, use your own judgment.

Ya lol, I couldn't remember it being in any of the stickies and I assumed it wasn't, due to the large number of questions about it.

Close thread please.
