I have decided to become R/Monk, now i know that my Ranger gets all his skills, but what skill does the monk not get because he is secondary? When the character you have chosen is secondary, how do you know what skill he can/cant use form that proffesion?
Also how much "mana" will i have with R/Monk at the beginning? and level 20?
I searched the forums a bit but couldnt find the right answer, sorry for newbie question

Well with ur secondary profession you can select all skill tree's exept for the primary ones... usually those primary skills give you an extra special class bonus...

With the monk that would be the Divine Favor class, which gives your teammates extra healing whenever you cast a spell, you'll mis out on that one.

As a ranger you start out with 20 or 22 energy (??? not sure...that could also be for level 20), its not that much but thats because a ranger has expertize which lowers the energy cost of all ranger skills.

That means that you wont be able to rely on too many secondary skills, so dont overdo the monk skills... if you really want to be a help and heal, go be a monk.

If you want to know some builds search around, there are plenty of suggestions and premade builds...

You are able to use every single skill from both of your professions. Every Ranger and Monk skill will be available to you.

What you aren't able to do is put any attribute points into your secondary class' primary attribute. In your case, you couldn't put any points into Divine Favour. So although you can use skills linked to Divine Favour, in almost all cases it wouldn't be worth it as you couldn't increase their effectiveness.

For example, you are able to use Signet of Devotion. However, even at level 20 you would only heal for 14 points, which is negligible to say the least. Orison of Healing, on the other hand, is linked to Healing Prayers, which you can increase using attribute points. It would heal up to 60 points each casting, which is much better.

In other words, while you can use all the skills from both professions, often several skills are reduced to being extremely ineffective.

Rangers have a base energy of 25 and base regeneration of 3 pips (1 energy per second). This can be increased with various things such as foci and armour with an energy bonus. At the start you'll have 25/3, though.

can you still use earth magic when ele is your secondary class?

Yes... its not primary either, so you can also put attribute points in it...
