I did a forum search and couldn't find anything about this so here goes. I treat my heros like I treat my own character... give them the best items I can afford along with a good skillbar. I rune them up, give them good gold and green weapons and even purchase hero armor for them.

I would like the ability to battle my own heros in a sort of Gunnar's Hold 1v1 tournament style. This way I can tweak their skills in more details, see how they battle and hopefully make them so good, I find it hard to kill them myself. This will also enable me to tweak my own skillbar and try it on opponents without the need to find humans and enter PVP.

Anyone like this idea?

use the Ise of the Nameless and monitor their skills. Should not need much more than what they have there already.

The problem is, regardless of what build you give them, they are still limited by the AI. This is particularly annoying when you need them to synergize certain skills w/ others; it's one of the reasons you can't run a hero w/ a 55 monk build...

Guild Hall scrimmage. Get a buddy to load your template onto a PvP hero.

you can run a hero 55, you just need to micromanage

This is not good enough, I want to challenge my hero, not have them fight another AI opponent. This takes more time to do than my suggestion and completely takes out the fun of it. I would also have to stand back in the distance or I would get attacked too, making it hard to see the battle and impossible to see what skills both my hero and the foe are using. Furthermore, I would not be able to select what skills my heros opponent would have.

I know their AI is limited but some builds work better than others, and it's selecting a build that works well and improving it more and more.

That would require me to waste other peoples time purely for my own benefit. I'm sure my guild has better things to do than load countless numbers of templates for their heros just for my benefit. This takes a lot of time and I can't battle my heros when I want to.. I would have to always find someone to help.

good idea, i do this sometimes w/guildies who need to test their hero builds too. i pick a side, he picks a side, we flag heroes to each other and go to town.

I've often felt like 'slapping' a few of them at times

It would be nice to be able to test your won builds with them, to see what they do when you do other things...
