Curse

Heya, I'm fairly new to Guild Wars, I've only been playing two or three days and all of that has been on the Fractions campaign (I have an N/Me there). Today I decided to check out the differences between the two continents and made a Prophecies Ele... I'm currently level 6 and I've just reached the stage where I need to pick a secondary profession... and now I'm stuck. I've checked out the builds and there are quite a few that I like the look of but narrowing it down is the problem. As I'm new, something that's efficient and easy to manage would probably be the best bet, though if you guys know a more complex build that'd be more fun, I'd more than welcome it

So, any recommendations?

P.S. Am I right in thinking that LFP means Looking For People? I've seen it around in game and it confuses me, lol.

Stock answer...E/Mo or E/Me.......E/Mo for grouping getting through missions, farming, E/Me for killing and annoying people and casueing general mayhem.

LFP: Looking for Party
LFG: Looking for group
GLF: Group looking for
ooE/ooM: out of energy/mana
ADD: more monsters incoming/attacking

Also - E/Me means you can use Mantra of Resolve and be un-interruptable.
At the expense of energy when they try to.

Mesmer secondary
the main reason people go e/me is mostly arcane echo and resolve.
arcane is somewhere arround bettletun, and resolve... GROTO. I would say, e/me. For a nuker, which Prophicies enforces upon thy soul whilst you a nuker, you need alot of fire skills to inflict damage. hence, a space for maximum of 2 slots is what you are left with to use mesmer, or any other secondary professions.

Secondary Monk
As far as secondary monking goes... nah. Monk is good for only early parts of the game. There is a point in game ( Kryta ) where you need to focus more on your primary job than secondary. To heal your self, use aura of restoration any way. As far as every one else goes, what do we have a monk hench or actual monk for?

Secondary Ranger
I would say, maybe a few running, or saving ur butt stances, or serpent's quickness is what this secondary profession used for when combined with ele. But then, I prefer wards if i must. Meele ofcourse, but you shouldnt really rely on this profession for defenses, which dont last much long compared to their recharge. At times, this profession is a very good choice Due to Spirits. For example, for the missions where you need to deal with foes which are high level, ( arround 24-28 ) and created off fire, you need Winter ( A ranger spirit skill ). Turns all your fire damage into cold damage. Thus, your fire attribute skills splash damage nearly as much as stated ( usualy 119 if we take fireball for an example), which would otherwise be doing a pathetic damage of 30-37ish.

Secondary Warrior
Lets ignore this one for now. A meele based char with caster profession, very situational.

Secondary necro
Well, quite a few possibilities. not a bad choice if you go curses or blood for Well of blood, and stuff related. Just a possibility out of many.

I would go for mesmer still, but it is all upto our needs and wants.

PS: You can change secondary professions later on this game in a place called Desert. Need to do certain quests to achieve this possibility, but it still exists.

We have henchies for added support...monk secondary is probably the #1 secondary profession for ALL classes. Monk secondary is a great choice for your first charachter b/c of all the added utility, soloability, and farming options.
