Acolyte Sousuke.... Psychic Distraction, +15-1 offhand, 1 superior E storage and minor attunements. Powerdrain, Leech Signet.
The results are frightening.... he just interrupted 3 quickshots in a row.
I created a monster....

Just Like Mesmer construct. He can interupt 3 people casting 1 second skills in row.
Lordhelmos
Yeah tell me about it, It hilarious to see the termite queen get locked down trying to cast while sousuke is sitting there snapping his fingers. The potential for heros is insane, I can only imagine this in a PVP setting.
On that note I took Olias MMing and he ran the build pro, exploiting every corpse in a split second and constantly upkeeping a 10 minion army....
RIP pugs.

I made Olias an MM too, and for kicks I went MMing... I couldn't exploit corpses fast enough, Olias was too quick.

Zenmai knows how to flourish as a sin, and critical sword works good on her too. It's funny to see her dragging that huge fellblade around.

Give him deathnova and he will minion bomb also :P. BiP build also works.

It's pretty interesting reading this thread right after reading the whining ones. Just shows how somene with any game ability can make their experience in that game a total opposite from retarded idiots without any clue at all.

Yeah im having a ton of fun abusing the heros. The AI for heros is remarkably smart. I gave Sousuke ward against melee in addition to his interrupts and he drops it when the backline is endangered. Try this build with him:
~Psychic Frustration~
Leech Signet
Power Drain
Psychic Distraction <E>
Cry of Frustration
Ward Against Melee
Drain Enchant
Ether Feast
Rez
9 Domination
15 Energy Storage
9 Earth
9 Inspiration
+3 attunement runes, +1 superior rune of Estorage
-1 +15 E weapon and +12 offhand.
Sousuke infinitely interrupts everything and uses leech and Pdrain in order to maintain his E. I mean no 2 second spell will ever be cast, its downright insane. When underfire he throw up the ward to protect the healers and himself. Seriously, he makes Erys Vasburg cry with this setup.
How can you not love nightfall?

lol that's awesome guys. I know I was pretty bummed about losing my duo monking capabilities (and not for farming ectos but trying to clear UW) but I already found a new dual UW build...not well proven yet but a few succesful short runs! heh.
And I changed my preorder from standar to collector's today so when I get off work I can go pick it up. I can't wait to get my sin over to Elona and start with my heroes. Although it is sad that PUG's are going to be hurting now...

This so totally rocks.
I wanna go back and do Tyria missions with henchmen!

The monk Heroes with a decent energy management skill are insane period.
I have both Dunkoro and Tahlkora at level 20 and love them.
Olias at level 16 is way better than any average lvl 20 MM player, and I still have to try some interrupting heroes.
Goodbye pugs.

Oh.. and by the way..
I ran an infusion run the other night and Little Thom and Stefan were alternating their charges AND keeping up with me (until they got body blocked and killed halfway through the run).

AlienFromBeyond
yeah, I noticed that they are quite adept at chain Charge!ing now, which is quite nice.
Lord Palidore
I'll use this build for him while I can, although I'm sure with the whole infinite interrupt factor, this will somehow be nerfed in the near future.
Lordhelmos
umm... yea you saw it there was nothing here....
Str0b0
Shhh keep it down. Make Anet think it sucks otherwise the Hero's will get nerfed down to hench level in no time.

lol. Ummm yeah, now lets talk about him missing all the important interrupts 
or being stuck and spamming psychic distraction and not ever using pdrain.... *whistle*

I took Jin, but this build should work with the Centuar yeah?

As long as they are the same profession, it should work. Basically heroes with the same profession are (can be made) exactly the same, only differing in name/appearance.

heh.
For added fun add frustration and watch him him spike the crap out of his enemies.
I've also given power drain to both my boon prots because the hero AI is so fast they seem to switch targets, interrupt and return to healing in under a second...
Mesmer Hero Build:
Frustration
P. Distraction
Power Drain
Everything else optional....

I find that he rarely uses Psychic Distraction.

I did that for my Norgu. Problem is he never used Power Spike at all, even with enough energy and I didn't understand it.

Good tips.
On the general theme of 'things heroes do well', I noticed my Ranger heroes doing a pretty nice job with Healing Spring. Pretty useful in places where there's lots of AOE degen type stuff.

I was very loud voice in complaining about the 'farming' nerf. After playing Nightfall and using the heroes I completely withdraw all complaints I made. Its obvious that the changes to the AI was in preperation of the hero system, and not a nerf of farming.
For quests I do not use a single hench. Heroes > PUG + Hench

Bring 2 Interrupters and 2 Monks, then throw in 2 Warriors with Charge. You will speed through whatever like crazy.

I have found that heroes make very good use of br (blood ritual).
If i use 2 monk heroes i make them both mo/n and put 2-3 points in blood, they will keep each others energy at 7 pips pretty much constantly.
being an ele i noticed that they ignore me and other non-monks in the team and only br each other as well.

Thats a sign of smart AI. Monk energy is always the first priotity.

I agree with the br thing when i give it to a hero they almost alwasy keep it on the monk and will ocadionaly top up an ele when hes low. Instead of the stupid henchice who would run up and br a warrior mid fight. also when I tell him to use it he makes good choices on who to use it on meaning if i see the ele getting low(not low enough for him to use br on his own) usaly he will target the ele with it when i tell him to simply use it.

Talkhora knows how to Boon Prot and Remove Condition like a freaking pro. Shes maintains Divine Boon and always has Mantra of Recall on and when theres healing to be needed she spams RoF or contemplation of purity when there are hexs and such. She does better than some HA people ive played with. These Heros are awsome..

What is PUG?
(yeah, call me a noob now)
(yeah, call me a noob now)
Bale_Shadowscar
Pick Up Group. Basically a group formed with random people in the district, as opposed to a Guild team/team with friends etc.
Munanko Roha
PUG is Pick Up Group, a random party made for a mission or a quest in a town.
I love heroes anyway, but I don't think they will completely cancel PUGs from GW, they are the way to add people to friend's list... ^_^

Keep Jin - skill her up as a touch ranger - she tears up mobs. I was running her vs level 21-24 mobs when she was level 11.
