Talk:Professions

Well, it looks like (one of?) the next profession is going to be Assassin, judging from a magazine article that's making the rounds (I think there're scans posted over at the Guild Hall forums). Before anyone gets anxious to add it in, let's wait until the expansion is being beta'd, at the very least, and preferrably until it's out. Since it's still entirely possible this is completely wrong. =p Nunix 22:52, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm new to Wiki-editing, but the Mesmer Domination Magic link needs to be fixed. It used to go to a disambiguation page; I changed it to the proper article, but I don't know how to get rid of the (Attribute) disambiguation tag while maintaining the link. Could someboy fix this? --24.77.13.244 07:58, 27 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Done. --Rainith 08:04, 27 Sep 2005 (EST)

Are we keeping the attribute descriptions here like the game text or not? Is there even a reason to keep it like the game text? And how much redundancy do we allow between this page and the individual attribute pages? --Karlos 04:17, 26 October 2005 (EST)


 * Keeping them strictly like game text is not so good for something like Expertise where that text isn't as accurate (compare it to the text in the article). Personally, I favor removing the redundant descriptions from this article entirely. --Rezyk 06:06, 27 October 2005 (EST)

Ch2 Professions
As foretold.. It begins! :) --Karlos 07:00, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll restructure the article accordingly and add the Ch2 disclaimer. -- 08:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Should the Beast Mastery attribute have a link to animal companion?
I and many others say no. 24.3.43.41 disagrees. My argument: (a) pet is already linked there and animal companion is just one hop away from pet, (b) the text for each attribute is currently lifted straight from the game, and (c) an overview page doesn't need to point to a "guide", especially when animal companion has many incoming links from more likely sources. 24.3, please state your argument before simply adding this text back. &mdash; Stabber 04:45, 27 February 2006 (CST)


 * Well, I don't even understand why Attributes are listed in this article in the first place. The article says "the following are a list of professions blah blah blah", but really gives us a list of attributes organized by profession.  I say nuke the entire section, and point to Category:Professions. -PanSola 05:12, 27 February 2006 (CST)


 * And on the direct subject, the real fast way to find pet info is by typing "Pet" in the search box, notice the link to "Animal Companion", and click on it. Going to Profession first isn't very intuitive, especially if chapter 10492 introduces a different profession that can have pets. -PanSola 05:19, 27 February 2006 (CST)
