Hero Feature - Information, Pictures and More [7 Threads Merged!!!]

I've merged 3 different threads together. Since they are all on the same topic.

Just to avoid any confusion.

She's moonlighting, packing fudge for some extra gold piece?

They must add 1 assassin and 1 ritualist heroes for people with Factions, just adding one quest in Factions and done (maybe one quest when you select only one hero) I REALLY want customize heroes of that 2 classes.

Note: in the new "meet the heroes" article on the main site, there is no mention of this necro which is on the pic in the first page...

Also the Master of Whispers is a Necro I think, either that or he is a character that can change BOTH primary and secondary profession.
Why? Because in the superlame socalled 'cinematic' on the prerelease disc (EXACTLY the same as can be downloaded on main site) he is a N/? with minions... cant be missed. :P

If I had to guess, I'd say the Master of Whispers is basically a clean template - meaning you can make into anything you want, probably even assassin or rit if you own Factions.

Or, he could just be a hero who's skills are all "Monster skills". Here's to hoping he can do spectral agony :P.

Yes.Dear God,YES!

Norgu is MY hero.

Doesn't Norgu look exactly like Raul Julia? Looking forward to his dialogue.

I really like most of the heroes. The necros are awesome. What's more awesome than that though, is that there are two of them. /applaud

I really hope there's a Rit hero.

Edit: I wonder if Master of Whispers is the uber Hero awarded at the end of the game, capable of playing any profession?

I definitely also thought this right away when i read his bio. His posture is necro of course but I think he's the guy that helps you tie up loose ends with builds. It makes a ton of sense to have a hero who can change his primary and his secondary both since they've already stated that you can't have all of the diff heroes, for some you'll have to choose between a few, and if you get one you can't get this others.

Master of Whispers is the guy that we'll all thank God we have once time goes by and we discover leet builds that require you to use heroes with the primary that you decided not to take back when you had to make a decision.

Also I can't think of any type of plot twist in any type of storyline that would require them to hide the profession of the Master Of Whispers in order to not spoil the ending. And if they did, it would probably be the stupidest plot twist ever.

Blast no Ritualist hero; I am technically not surprised. Oh well here’s look forward to the next campaign to have one (a voodoo, witch doctor). Anyways the hero’s look great, can’t wait till Nightfall comes out.

I bet 10k that Master of Whispers is Abbadon.

That makes sense. That way, when we become best friends with Abbadon we can take him to Tyria and Cantha with us! And maybe Gwen can come too.

Seriously, if you though it through, we would have to kill a hero that can go anywhere with us and stay with us...

Check my IGN, I'll take that 10k off your hands for you .

Wow, Attoron is dressed up like a Mary Kay saleswoman exploded all over a Las Vegas showgirl. That really sucks.

i want a /ride command if got zhed in our party

sure he'd get wasted with 60 AL but we'd scare the enemies with a warrior going into battle in glad armor riding a horsy.

LIke someone else said I think the Master of Whispers can change his profession to whatever. Or maybe he is a Chapter 4 profession?

They also didn't list General Morgahn in the "Meet the Heros" page. I wonder if they forgot to list the Necro and the General or if they've decided to take them out...

A short bio of General Morgahn can be found on this page. And just so everyone knows, General Morgahn is the 4th person from the right in the lineup picture in the first post.

I tried a search for this and found nothing relevant to this particular question. So put down the torches please.

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on what profession he was. I know we'll all find out when Nightfall hits stores, but I'm rather bound to my curiosity. Plus I wanted to toss out this question: Do you think there is any possibility that a non-playable class(such as a new class from a future campaign or something inspired by a concept class) was given to him? Or did they perhaps him an ingenious build which no one has discovered yet?

I know its most likely they gave him a standard build, but that would be kinda boring considering his bio...He would still be mysterious storywise, but the great mysterious guy would probably end up receiving Rurik/Leeroy Jenkins type mockery.

/edit In my complete idiocy i forgot that you could switch around his skills, so a non-playable class/concept class wouldn't make much sense. That would have only worked if he were a regular henchie. Oh well.

Anyway, thats my rambling question. Any ideas?

judging from his figure hes a necromancer

hes got the hunch of one, and the pointy fingers
dead giveaway,

Also, considering necro is the only core profession that doesn't have a confirmed hero, it makes sense that he is a necro. And yes, he does stand and have a pose just like a male necro.

I can understand not having rt or sin heros (since people with NF only won't be able to unlock skills for those heros). Oddly though, they don't have a paragon hero, which seems wierd to me.

I was also pondering this topic and I shall let my musngs follow:
No necromancer/paragon(assassin/ritualist) heroes are currently listed.
This makes me a bit sad because I wouldn't mind carrying around an SS nec, especially since they seem to have become less common in factions and I can't always play on my necro.
The armor style looks like a combination ritualist and necromancer.
Since ritualists are a non-core/NF profession, it is unlikely they will be included due to the loss of unlocks for players who don't own factions. However, due to his mystery of origin, it is still possible he could be an imported ritualist and comes with a significant number of unlocks.

That said, I'd have to say with the female NF necro armor posted in screenshots in the PvE Preview annoiuncement, I'm leaning towards necromancer.

Personally reading his bio he sounds a bit like a paragon and his title "master of whispers" goes with that, but honestly I thought ele when I first saw him.... but I dunno, mabye necro, because he stands the way a necro does, although features wise he dosent seem to represent a necro so I have no idea
