Guild Wars 2

Just some fun light hearted theorycrafting!
But if in the expansion after HoT, Secondary professions were added, (the ability to pick trait lines and use utilities from one other profession) what would you like to play?

I’ll start with the G/E burn guardele!
the standard burn guard, made deadlier!

Radiance:
Inner Fire
Radiant Fire
Amplified Wrath

Virtues:
Master of Consecrations
Supreme Justice
Permeating Wrath

Fire (ele):
Burning Precision
Power Overwhelming
Blinding Ashes

for Utilities i think Signet of fire (2 burn stacks for a whopping 10 seconds) would be great!
also the “Ice Storm” (skill no.4 of Frost Bow ) would trigger a ton of burns!

so what hypothetical builds would people like to try?

I think Ranger/Thief would be interesting. There’d have to be some nice synergy there.

oo yeah, “opening strike when you gain stealth” comes to mind
the Critical Strikes line would be great on a ranger

I want to cross a thief with a PU mesmer

Primary warrior with Signet of Stamina and Thief’s elite specialization. The ultimate nike warrior or set it up as dodger damage.

Revenant/necro coz i was ritualist/necromancer in first GW!

But engineer/elementalist could be good too. Magic technicals devices to play with!

Downstate Ele with Spite from Necro. Afflicted runes + Persisting Flames + Chill of Death + Close to Death + Bolt to the Heart = GG

Engie+Thief would be mine.
Teleporting + Bombs?
FT blast you can use twice with Initiative?
Even more sources of vigor, and fury?
Easy thief condi clean + engie tankyness?
Engie might stacking plus thief high damage?

Gold.

Mesmer/Necro

The ability to hit as hard as a truck and still get away when about to be run over by a zerg.

Mesmer + Guard so I can take Blink with JI among other things.

Would be a lot of (overpowered) fun.

I would like to take this one step further and allow for swapping between specific weapons skills. Which would be fairly opp, but too bad.

I’d go Ranger/Warrior, so I could use a sword auto attack that doesn’t need work arounds to work consistently. I might also swap some longbow skills.

Thief / Ranger would be an amazing combo. Stealth AND being able to hit kitten from a good distance away? Please

That actually got changed to “on fury” instead. Makes the longbow-vulnerability build much more a pain to keep uptime. :\
Now it’s better suited to greatsword.

Monk. Always monk as secondary.

Any/mesmer because portals are useful. I got used to portals at some point and now I constantly miss them, I only use eles.

Yep, reusable rez is a must.

Mesmawarrior. friggin after image strikes like dbz. wooh. drool. What would be totally awesome is if we could have some kind of super elite skill. I imagine something like sending out 3 after images. One to cripple, one to daze one to confuse and the original does a final rush with friggin epic smashdown that launches with all the images shattering in a fire blast. NOW THAT is epic.

Thief / warrior would be pretty insane (Bull’s charge / stances)

Also Warrior / Necromancer would be interesting, minionmaster style with hammer/cc

I’d flip between them all on my engi, see which other prof’s utilities became the most interesting toolbelt skills
