The Professions
Warrior, Elementalist, Monk, Ranger, Mesmer, or Necromancer: Every profession has its own strengths and characteristics, a weapon or magic specialty, and a unique set of skills with which to deal damage, manipulate the enemy or environment, or protect and heal allies. Each profession provides a set of attributes, which determines the effectiveness of weapons and skills in battle.
| Primary Profession | Your primary profession determines your hero's basic appearance, including the type of armour the hero wears. It also provides several attributes that improve skills over time including a primary attribute that is not available when the profession is chosen as a secondary. |
| Secondary Profession | Your secondary profession provides your hero with a second set of attributes and skills to compliment the first. (Your secondary profession does not have access to the primary attribute for that profession.) |
