as for me :

1. olias - great MM (but no that good for curse/blood, i think)
2. melonni - she soloed 3 mursaat elementalist
3. dunkoro/tahlkora - must have hero for healing

the rest are quest dependent- no choice if i have to.

1. Gwen - Super human reflexes. She can make sure the enemy caster won't spend a single spell.
2. Acolyte Jin - Barrage interuptor, same thing like Gwen, except she can daze.
3. Jora - Just because... well... you know. Two big, nice reasons...

Olias is my new best friend.

Then come Koss and Sousuke, then Jin/Margrid (Margrid has nicer armor), then Tahlkora/Dunk.

Gwen...keeps me safe from those way overpowered ele bosses.

Jora...something different. And makes the guys I'm helping out on Noob Island who haven't gotten GW:EN yet say some pretty funny stuff.

Xandra. Diablo's reason for Jora and then some. And she makes a kickass explosive growth rit.

1. Livia: Hotness. Dominatrix. Minnions. 'Nuff said.
2. Jora: Big things come in... Big packages.
3. Gwen: Meh. She's legal now.

Warriors - Jora because she's a Norn (Norns are win) and she's major hot. And she's like the first friendly character that towers over my max height warrior. She puts me in my place

Elementalists - Tie between the awesomely bitter and spiteful, 'Two Leg' shouting Zhed and Brain. They're both awesome

Monk - Ogden simply because I don't like Tahkl or Dunk. I also like racial diversity in my parties

Mesmer - I never could understand the Gwen loving. Norgu > all mesmers

Necromancers - Livia is hot, Jurah is mysterious, Olias is ugly. They all rock and [skill]Spiteful Spirit[/skill] is just sex in PvE.

Ranger - I don't have Pyre yet but I pick him because he's a cool Charr. I don't like Margrid or Jin

Sin - Meh

Rits - I like Razah because of his ancestry

Dervish - I think they both suck

Paragon - Morghan is a good honorable man. He has served me and my party very well on many occasions. I haven't got Hayda yet but she wears boots which is innovation for Paragons

Dunkoro, Tahlkora, and Ogden - because I've played with Dunkoro and Tahlkora so long, and because Ogden Stonehealer is awesome.

Master of Whispers, Livia - MoW is awesome and also one of those long-time heroes; Livia is pretty hot.

Sousuke, Vekk - Played with Sousuke for a very long time, and Vekk is one of the more interesting heroes in my opinion.

Those are the main heroes I use; I swap others in sometimes but mostly it's just them.

Note that if we could take full heroes instead of henchmen I would be able to take the exact number of my favourite heroes, 7... it might not be the most efficient team, but I certainly would like it. (1 prot monk, 2 heal monks, 1 MM, 1 SS, 2 nukers, and me as the Ritualist that fills in whatever the remaining role needs to be in a given situation, because Ritualists are just that versatile )

Livia & Jora, hands down. Couldn't help but buy both of Livia's hero armors and Deldrimor for Jora. Big thanks to my guildies for the cash.

I normally use Olisa, Jin and tahlkora.
MM, Barrage/interrupt/command paragon, Pro-monk/mesmer interrupt.

Depends on which character I'm playing. For my Mesmer, I like:

Olias - very good MM
Tahlkora - good prot, and funny lines
Souske - I fired Zhed after he tried taking on 3 groups of high level enemies solo.

I don't normally use Gwen with this char, but I've got to give her honorable mention because she finished off her nemisis (what's his name -big charr warrior boss type), who had about 1/3 health left when me and the other 2 heros I had (Dunkuro & Meloni) wiped. That was fun to watch!

For just utter coolness factor - (no particular order)

Pyre Fireceshot
Goren
Master of Whispers
Anton
Razah

For "teh hotness" factor - (in this order specifically)
Xandra
Gwen
Jin

Usefulness all depends on the character I'm using and the build I need. So no list here (plus all heroes of identical classes operate the same AI - despite what people believe)

Tahlkora, Dunkoro, and Koss for me. Old school.

When I'm in a killing mood, Koss, Jora, and little Jin set up as a hammer toting Thumper. Add in Talon, Devona, my assassin, and Mehnlo and Lina.

With all these dungeon critters and bison running around, has anyone tried MoW, Olias, and Livia all running as MM's?

by the way, why is it when unlocking heroes for PvP using balthazar faction some of the heroes cost more than the others ? the expensive ones cost 6000 balthazar factions, while the others cost 3000 balthazar factions, iirc .... are the more expensive ones make better decision than the less expensive ones..?

My most used heroes for the first three games:

Tahlkora (SoR monk with Aegis)
Master of Whispers (I don't like the way Olias looks, he's a backup curse necro)
Zhed Shadowhoof (The quintessential nuker)

My most used heroes for Eye of the North:

Dunkoro (LoD monk. Compliments Mhenlo well, Tahlkora's SoR isn't as useful in my experiences with EoN.)
Acolyte Sousuke (Replaced with the MM to provide faster nukes)
Zhed Shadowhoof (Once again, my main nuker)

Honorable Mentions:

Though I've always thought Olias had the worst hero look out of everyone, he was instrumental in helping me defeat the Ruins of Morah mission, where quick hexes helped to devastate Varesh. He has not been used in many other missions.

Acolyte Jin helped me not only beat the Gate of Pain with her excellent usage of interrupt skills, but also got me masters. I have used her very rarely, but more so than Olias.

Koss is my warrior of choice when I'm using a non-melee character.

That's that.

Heroes I will never use:

Vekk. I just don't like the Asura.

Never expected there to be so many Olias fans. Personally, I only ever used him because he was the only Necromancer I had, and by the time I got Whispers at the end of Nightfall, Olias just seemed like part of the team, I couldn't just kick him off.

I also really like Pyre. I wasn't much a fan of either Jin or Margrid, but a giant Charr Ranger pretty much speaks for itself. And of course I love Gwen.

I like to use:
Tahlkora
Vekk
Acolyte Sousuke.

Vekk and Acolyte make great SF Nukers. zhed is just stupid imo.

Tahlkora > dunkoro and ogden.
plus i've got a great Holy Haste LoD build on her that pwns the life out of everything.

I haven't grown too attached to any GW:EN hero's just yet.
With my Ele, my favorite set is Olias & Master of Whispers as MM's- along with Tahlkora or Dunkoro.
With my Dervish, my favorite set of hero's are Melonni, General Morgahn & Dunkoro/Tahlkora.
I'm starting to take a liking to Vekk though.

Unless things really hate physical damage dealers, then Acolyte Sousuke, Zhed and Olias.

my favorite: Olias all the time, not only cuz he is a good MM, but also i always make jokes of him in HA ^ ^
Gwen or Norgu: "yes master, i will PD that charr's Powerblock, just trust me on that"
Zhed and Acolyte Sousuke:SF+SH ftw

The team I use the most:

#1. Olias (Minion Master)
#2. Acolyte Sousuke (Greater Conflagration / Mark of Rodgort)
#3. Zhed Shadowhoof or Vekk (Searing Flames / Mark of Rodgort)


The characters I actually like the most:
#1. Jora <3 (Not sure what weapon set-up I'll give her, but I will use her eventually. She is too hawt not to use. Pity I don't have much use for Warriors.)
#2. Livia <3 (She'll be taking the SS or GB job as soon as I unlock her [doing her quests now], Master of Whispers the SV job and Olias stays MM. Once again... Livia is too hawt not to use.)
#3. Acolyte Sousuke (I just call him Souskie most of the time. My first elementalist hero and likely to be my last. Was my favourite until EotN.)

As much as I hate to admit it, I do actualy use Gwen quite a bit, though it took me a little while to think up a reasonable build that I liked to blow stuff up as I went through the game (mesmers = suck)

My A Team for Nightfall:

Dunkoro (as Prot)
Olias - Godly reflexes as a MM. He can raise a fleshie before the previous one's even hit the flooor
Zhed, Jin or Koss depending on the area. Zhed dies too much and Koss never does what he's told.

For GW:EN

Above ground:

Vekk
Sousuke
Livia - Running MM or SS. I stripped Olias of his runes and gave them to Livia. If I have to stare at someone with a leather fixation arching their back every two minutes I'd rather look at Livia.

Undeground:

Vekk
Jin
Livia -SS

Since getting GW:EN I ditched ol' Dunky, as Mhenlo and Lina seem to function a lot better in this.

I have favourite hench as well.. call me nostalgic, but Devona always comes (charge useful when mapping, KDs from the hammer always a plus) and either Aiden or Cynn. Having three Sf eles and Cynn using Meteor Shower is always good for a larf.

Livia, Xandra, and Hayda are my favourite heroes but I'm almost always using Livia, Master of Whispers, and Olias.
