to many builds out there to name. And it is personal preference. And you can change you second profession at will so if you dont like it chance it to something else.

Check the 'builds section' of www.guildwiki.org . It has a variety of tested builds with information about how to use them, what situations to use them in etc. I would hazzard a guess to say the standard beginner secondary for a warrior is monk...what is commonly referred to as a wammo. Check out guildwiki and decide for yourself what works best for you

A Good Secondary profession when you are starting out is always Monk. It brings a Self Heal to your char and that can always come in handy. A low level Warrior that can self heal will always make for a good tank. Once you get the the middle of the game you will be given the opportunity to change your secondary profession to whatever you like. Once you can change your secondary you will be given the chance to use some more advanced builds and you will always be able to change back to monk if you don't like it.

Your second profession doesn't matter, you can change it whenever you want when you get to a certain point and you'll be doing that a lot. If I were you I wouldn't not go secondary monk, it teaches you bad habits. Warriors already have self heal in healing signet and some nice defensive stances. I'd go secondary ranger for a more variety of defensive stances and some other skills.

My warrior has been secondary ranger her whole life (except for a few weeks when she was capping elites for heroes). Pet is very useful in lower levels when henchmen are not reliable. And other skills as she progressed through the game.

Monk is a solid choice, especially for a beginner. Good luck.

In the future though, post threads like this in the questions forum.

true, but only later in the game... The OP didnt tell what chapter he is playing (just "guildwars"), but in Prophecies (chapter 1) you can "earn" second profession by doing quests (in desert area). In Factions and in Nightfall you can buy extra 2nd professions (500g each)...

When you have more than 1 second profession, then you can switch between them using the K key (Skills).
