1.) You can change anytime you want as long as you are in a town or outpost.

2.) Thats really up in the air. You can choose anything you want and learn to be good with it.

Go http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page with all your questions. You can look at all the professions and decide which skills you like to use best.

Most importantly. Have fun!

A big part of the fun with guild wars is coming up with creative builds that feature a certain skillset from the secondary. A/R with the ranger skill Barrage and focusing your points into critical strikes is fairly popular. Another solid secondary is warrior and then use their stances for IAS or defense. Come up with something new

welcome to gw

as stated above you can use any secondary but elemantalist would be nice along whit silver armour might cost you some energy since you low level atm but it works good even while your only low lvls did the same thing whit my sin

edit: since you got factions i think today there's a special weekend event which is used for a pvp game called alliace battles this will get you kurzick/luxon pts will be needed further in pve
you can do this when ever you want to but you will get double pts this weekend just a tip

Generally, weapon based classes use their secondarys less then magic using classes, because they are more self contained (especially rangers, who have to spread attribute points around a lot to be effective). For example, a N/Me or a N/Rt will be much more likely to have a bunch of Me and Rt skills to use that work well then a A/Me would. With that in mind, there are no bad decisions for a secondary with an Assassin or a Warrior, since you can often do quite well with just assassin or warrior skills. However, this is just a general rule. There are plenty of creative uses for your secondary.

word of advice though with your assassin. they are not a "tanking" class, so when setting up your build keep in mind to be able to dish out a lot of damage very quickly and then getting out of the battle so your combo can recharge.

Welcome to the game.

Your attributes are always interchangable. As for your secondary profession, for now, pick what looks most interesting to you and learn about how different professions synergize with one another. However, an A/R is a very nice place to start because you can make an assassin that is good with a bow or daggers.

These are called "Critical Barragers". They're fun to play and give the assassin class some much needed variety. Look into the builds further by using the search feature on these forums and looking at discussions revolving around them.

Welcome to the Game.

1. As long as you are in a town or an outpost, you can.
2. You can pick whatever you'd like. You could even change it when you get further in the game.
