Change second profession in GW?

[jkola]

I'm in post searing, R/W but I haate the warrior part. Rangers can't wear armor so it was a little oversight on my part. I either want to change it or drop it all together. Any way to do this withought starting over?

Apparently it's possible to change your secondary near the end of the PvE game however if you've only arrived in post-searing, that'll be a long ways away and may not be worth the wait and struggle.

If I were in your situation, I'd either play as a straight Ranger (ignore Warrior secondary completely), pick a few W skills that complement your Ranger skill (essentially forget melee weapons but keep movement, shout, stance, etc... skills), or restart my character.

If you restart, you can drop your money and uncustomized gear in your Storage account and pick it up once you reach post-searing with your new character.

For your second character, you should be able to reach post-searing in just a few hours with a new character that you'll like better.

You can change your second profession in the Crystal Desert.Its a long way from where you are. As Monkey said I would start over if you dislike it that badly.

I'd just keep going. You're going to find you'll use your second profession truly secondary anyway. I have a R/E and I next to never use my elemental skills. Most of my points are in rangers skills. Now if you are wanting a secondary profession to take advantages of the primary then you'll work on that (such as a Elementalist/monk with ...fast casting? or energy storage..don't remember, that works with healing). Since you sound like you wanted a ranger with armor and not a warrior with ranger expertise, that's where you decide. You'll get some cool warrior skills for your ranger. Just not the armor.

You can indeed change your secondary, but only after ascension, which is a good 40 hours or so (on average, I would say) from the moment you're out into post-searing. If you've just managed to step out into post-searing, I advice that you delete the character and start over. If you're not having fun with your secondary, then it'll most likely be a significant detriment to the "fun" level of your GW experience.

In contrast to Netrat33's opinion, the secondary profession, if you want to be truly effective, will almost always come into very large play. I too have a R/E, and while most of utilized skills are ranger-based, my elementalist skills, while not as numerous, are certainly every bit as important.

Thanks everyone. I'll keep my R/W for now...I have just invested too much time in him. I will consider changing later when I get to the desert though.
