I was just wondering whether to bring along Kihm or Sogolon for helping to keep my party alive.

In your opinion which of the two do you think is the better choice?

Kihm - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Kihm
Sogolon - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sogolon

And their skill sets I'm talking about are the ones in the realm of torment.

Kihm, no question. ZB is a reliable heal, condition removal, RoF is spammable for removing pressure + saves, PS is win in high-level PvE, and Aegis is always a big plus.

Whenever I have to take henchies in NF, I actually take both. Motivation paras are just awesome, and Sogolon does a pretty good job.

For a monk hench, I prefere Khim over Mhenlo as Mhenlo doesn't seem to do very well in NF.

But if you do take Khim, I will warn you-her AI can be a little buggy. One party wipe and you're better off taking a gerbil. She does great up until that party wipe, after it though she just stands there looking at her staff.

Who cares about how they use their skills or what they have?

Take Khim fro her great ingame text messages ;

"Hey, everybody's got problems. Some can be healed, but others fester until something falls off or somebody goes psycho. Don't let that happen, 'kay?"
"I come from a long line of skillet-throwing women. I'm not afraid of anybody; are you? Now let's go toss some iron around and see who gets hit." (also used in the Desolation)
"I'm right behind you. No, don't turn around. The battle is in front of you. Let me worry about your backside."
"Look, I'm a healer. You fight and I'll keep you standing. So stop looking to see if you're hurt and get back out there!"
Battle quotes:

"Come over here and try that again!"
"Don't look at me like that. You're not my mother."
"Don't think about your wound. That's my job! Think about your enemy!"
"Get that guy over there! You know we can take him!"
"Just keep fighting! You'll be fine. Trust me!"
"Just slap a bandage on that. You'll be fine."
"Let me at them! I'll give them something to heal!"
"Let's bust out and crack some heads!"
"Nobody busts up my friends and leaves them bleeding."
"Oh, no, you didn't!"
"Their healer's a sissy! You hear me? SISSY!"
"Watch your backside, or you'll get spanked!"
"What do you think this is? Playtime?
"You wanna fight or dance? Make up your mind!"

It depends on what I need out of the hench. Khim is a healer (protector), she keeps people alive. Sogolon is a support healer. He makes the job of the Monk easier. Unless dealing with low damage output from your enemies, I'd take 2 Monks. 1 Monk and Sogolon doesn't work well for most areas though. Areas with mass damage output, take Sogolon to give the Monks some help.

Head to head though, I would say that Kihm wins, but you still cannot do without another character supporting the healing. Considering that Kihm and Sogolon have different roles, they need not be mutually exclusive.

If you have play a Paragon and/or use Paragon heroes, definitely bring Sogolon, for added triggers for Echos and Refraines. The more the merrier with Paragons.
