You can change your professions in the three desert outposts:

Heroes Audience
Seekers Passage
Destinys Gorge

Those are the places you have to visit in the Heroes Voyage Quest so you should have them. You can only change your profession after you ascended your character in the desert.

What to change into? Dunno, really depends on your playing style. If you are into massive damage you should try Elementalist/Mesmer. Why? Because you can use Arcane Echo which mimics one of your spells (the next one you cast) for 20 seconds. This even works with elite skills so you can dish out some real high damage real fast. You can top that by using Arcance Mimicry and copy the elite spell of an ally.

Just imagine the havoc you can cause with, let's say:

Chain Lightning
Lightning Surge
Lightning Orb
Lightning Javelin
Enervating Charge
Arcane Echo
Arcane Mimicry
Glyph of Sacrifice

You start by casting Lightning Surge, immediately followed by Arcane Echo. You cast Chain Lightning - Chain Lightning gets echoed. You cast Glyph of Sacrifice and cast the echoed Chain Lightning. Sure the Glyph slows down the reloading of your echoed Chain Lightning, but does it bother us at all? No... That skill will just revert back to arcane echo after 20 seconds.

Now what did this do?

1.75 you casted enervating charge
2.50 you casted Arcane Echo
4.75 your target gets knocked down and suffers 83 damage
5.25 you casted Chain Lightning (82 Damage to up to 4 targets)
5.25 you activate Glyph of Sacrifice - no casting time, its a skill
6.00 you casted another Chain LIghtning (82 Damage again)
8.25 finished your target of with a Lightning Orb...

Now if you take into consideration that you can push the damage up to 106 for each of those spells, and the spells all have 25 % Armor Penetration... can you spell instant kill?
Sure a monk could throw in a heal, but as you are most likely targetting the monk, he will be a sitting duck as he gets knocked down anyways by Lightning Surge.

You could also go El/Mo for a very decent protection build. Bring all kind of Wards, Aegis and protective Spam and whatever and you end up making your team nearly untouchable.

El/R isn't that bad too though, you could go Shocksniper or something like that.

Thanks for your help.

I generally only ever used fire magic because none of the other ones have a spell that reloads and is as mana-effective as flare, and meteor shower is a *** send... but of course I usually only PvE so far.. I want to finish the missions before I start all the arenas. I'm currently at the Ring of Fire mission..

Are there any good fire spells I may not have got yet that I can get by using capture signet perhaps?

If you want a spam spell you might try Stone Daggers (Earth Attribute), it has zero cast time and zero reload time. Kinda beats Flare. (you'll still suffer from the 0.75 aftercast though as with any spell)

Capture Spells, well most elite Spells are more concerned about energy control and other Attributes. Afaik Fire has only Mind Burn as their elite spell.

Mind Burn - Target Foe takes 15-51 fire damage. If you have more energy than target foe, that foe takes an additional 15-51 fire damage and is set on fire for 1-6 seconds.

Unfortunately you can only get it in the very last mission of the game and by the time you have it, you won't put it to any real use. PVP wise Fire really is a bad choice due to its large casting times (have fun with mesmer interrupting you with ease) and being bound to AOE.


You might consider other more generic Elite Skills though:

Glyph of energy - next spell costs 20 less energy (has halved recharge time of small glyph)

Ether Prodigy - Lose all enchantments, you gain energy regen of 4 for about 20 seconds. When this spell ends you get 2 damage for each point of energy left though.

Glyph of Renewal - Next Spell reloads twice as fast

Elemental Attunement (doesn't really fit into a single attribute build but can do some nasty long lasting cast spam...) - you gain 50 % of the energy back when you cast a spell.



If you want to know where to search for elite spells, try this link here:


If you want to generally inform yourself about skills you might try TheEdge


(should check that program though, at one time some guy managed to infect it but gwonline said they took care of it and it is clean again... well... scan it.)

Thanks so much.

I'll bump this thread with another question or two when I finally finish the missions if that's ok.
