It's a hard decision for me since I play as a motivational/command Paragon. Right now, I have Koss (tactics tank), Tahlkora (healer) and Acolyte Jin (interrupter) with me but what about Zhed and Master of Whispers when I get them? A nuker and MM would be nice to have in the party but I don’t know who to kick out.

Me/

The choice of heroes I use depends on the location mostly, but I always have Tahlkora or Dunkoro as Prots with me; I don't add them as healers since I can use hench for that. Because I have Avatars for Dervish unlocked along with some good skills, I usually take Melloni with me. Being Mesmer myself, I dont need Jin/Margrid that much but I usually do take one of them too (sometimes both ;p) - or MM hero, depends on my mood and the party I'm in - if I'm with my befriended monk, I don't take my monk heroes, monk's monks will be better. I usually take Koss in monk hero's place than.

The heroes I dont use much: Goren (well more than 2 wars in party aint too neccesary and you always have hench hero to take, so... he's usually out), Norgu (I'm the Mes!), Olias (same situation as with Goren), Zenmai, both Elementalists.

I'd strongly advice you to lvl up Dunkoro as he'll be neccessary for some missions and you might find it handy to have your own Old Man

Mainly Koss, Tahlkora and Acolyte Jin. Although Jin is interchangeable with Olias as a MM.

I plan on having, Sousuke(spelling?) as searing flames elementalist, Olias for minion master, and Thalkoro for a special protection build. In my opinion, a basic healer hench will do fine, as will a tank, but hench ele's are harder, as well as necro.

On my warrior: Olias (MM). Sousuke & Zhed (Both set up as Searing Flames). Hench monks heal just fine and things die very fast.

On my ranger: Olias (MM), Koss (Dragon Slash) or Dunk/Tahl as WoH & Zhed (Searing Flames)

On my rit: Olias (MM), Koss/Tahl & Zhed (Searing Flames)

What I have noticed is that henchies are not bad at healing you. They are just really lousy at dealing damage so I use the heroes for that. For high pressure situations, just throw in a prot monk hero.

AIs are great for Thumpers, I take both, with Tahl and Dunk as healer's boon/channeling monks (only viable build for AIs methinks, they don't dev sig and do e mangement right).

Olias is a Jagged Bones/Tainted Warder, Master is a MoP, Koss Triple Chop Bull's Strike, etc etc etc...

My warrior does seem to like Magrid and Sousuke in his party. Third spot depends on what I plan on attempting.

Tried Abaddons Mouth with my warrior last night. Tagging along with me was Zhed and Sousuke both with Searing Flames, and Margrid with Serpents Quickness and Broad Head Arrow.

Oh my, it was so much fun.

Margrid shut things down, the two ele's killed things, and I generally swung my axe around and pretended I was killing things :-)

I'm actually looking forward to doing it on my Monk now.. Prior to Nightfall, I was dreading it.

For my necro:

Koss (sword & stance tank for general purposes)
Goren (Knockdown specialist / tanks bosses mostly or big stuff aka 'Keep it busy'.)
Master of Whispers (curses / degen / BiP )

Works fine but if i need more healing againts spikes i need to take Dunkoro as 3rd though.
My paragon had similar except always, Koss, Melonni & Dunkoro.

edit: wrong name :P

mainly for my warrior,assassin, and paragon
Olias(MM for the most part and sometimes as a SS or blood)...also his upgraded armor is noticeable and better compared to Jurah(aka Master of Whispers) IMO
Tahlkora(prot) btw better than Dunkuro as he'll attempt to do the unthinkable...
Zhed

for my necro
Tahlkora, Meloni, and Jin

for my rit but it differs depending on what I'm doing but mainly restorative so...Zhed,Meloni,and Morgahn.

I try to use henchmen as little as possible, even if it means taking longer or dying more. So I have Dunkoro as a heal monk, Koss as a standard tank and Magrid as a DPS/interrupt ranger. That's with my dervish.

Both rangers and 1 monk boon prot

Rangers set up with magebane shot, distracting, and savage shot. The best healing is to prevent the dmg from even happening.

Dealing dmg is not a priority. Stay alive and you can eventually kill anything.

Prot hench, movitation, earth ele, and blood hench for br.

I'm surprised how many choose monk heros. How boring!
Personally, I really like this fire combo...

Ele/Mes - Zhed with Searing Flames, Mark of Rotgort, Glowing Gaze, etc.
(I heard that Zhed, as a non-human, can't be diseased)

R/Ele - Margrid running Fire-Barrage with Conjure Flame (with a fire bow), Barrage, some stances and some interrupts

P/W - Morgahn with Anthem of Flame, They're on Fire, Stand Your Ground, etc.

As a monk I run a bond build with Zealous Benediction as my elite. I spam Agias, and let the henchie monk(s) do their stuff.

Usually, when I'm exploring on my own, I take Dunkoro (Healing), Talkora (Protection) and Zhed (close range Nuker). Though I'm usually switching them around, as I'm constantly playing with guildies and/or friends. So, I can't really say which ones I keep in.

Well for my monk.

Koss (Dervish secondary) - Fairly standard meatshield to send in first, veil of thorns to cripple the foes to further help keep them away from the backlines where I'm hiding.

Magrid - Locked onto their monk / casters and a skill bar of mostly interrupts.

Zhed - bog standard searing flames. But who can resist having a my little pony running around with you.

just beat NF yesterday with monk; the 3 heros i used most often were Olias for MM, Whispers for echo/ss (takes a bit of setup before aggroing a mob so he casts properly, but he works just fine), Jin for interrupts. i didn't train any of the monk heroes, as I work well enough with Khim anyhow in most situations. I should try that 2 ele SF and 1 para with they're on fire tactic sometime.

P/W - Morgahn with Anthem of Flame, They're on Fire, Stand Your Ground, etc. Added Liquid Flame for both the Ele and Ranger and remembered to bring my LB Gaze. Now the kill rate for Margonite farming in DoS is ridiculous.

I'll try a henchie Paragon and changing to 2 SF spamming Ele heroes (along with flame-barrage ranger) and see how it compares.

Note: The fast kill rate takes a lot of pressure off the henchie monks.
