My head is swimming about class / attributes!!!

So you pick two professions, you only get the primary attribute of the first prof you pick then the secondary of the second class. As you level up you can train in the skills of both professions? Then you assign attribute points to skills to make them more effective? Am I following along so far correctly? Anything people could toss in here would be very much appreciated!

Exacly right, and you can even use these points (cant remember the name) to take away atributes, and put them to something else! I had a list, if you gimme a sec, I can get you a link to the section that explains it really simple...

Edit: Here is the link http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...tes-id1225.php

It is done in such a way that you can't really botch your character up like you could do in Diablo 2 or Everquest. You also get skills of which there is no limit to.
Prety much the only thing that is set in stone is your profession choice. Even then, when the game is released they are probaly going to make you chose your second profession when you hit a specific lvl.

By effectiveness does that raise the time? so say a spell effects for 8-10secs if it is at a higher 'level' would it raise that time to say 10-12?

Im guessing though it raises dmg too?
